Description
Overview:
The Forgefix Drywall Screw 3.5 x 50mm Black Phosphate is a steel fastener for fixing plasterboard to timber studs and battens. Finished in a durable black phosphate coating, it drives cleanly and offers dependable holding power in drylining work. A bugle head allows the screw to sit flush without countersinking, helping to avoid tearing the plasterboard paper. The Phillips No.2 cross recess works with standard PH2 driver bits and drywall screwdrivers for efficient installation. Size: 3.5mm x 50mm (approx. 0.14 inches x 1.97 inches). This bulk box of 1000 screws (DWS50BP) is suited to both site jobs and home projects, giving consistent performance for ceilings, partitions, and general drylining tasks.
