  • Bugle head prevents paper tears while seating flush
  • #8 × 2-53/64 in steel drives securely into wood or metal

  • Fine threads grip studs tightly for solid holding
  • ASTM B117 salt-spray rating resists corrosion on the job

SENCO #8 Drywall Screw for Wood and Metal

This SENCO drywall screw fastens drywall to wood or metal studs. The #8 size and 2-53/64 inch length suit standard residential and light commercial interior work. A bugle head seats flush without tearing the paper facing. Fine threads and a hardened drill point start quickly in both substrates.

Corrosion Resistance and Drive Performance

The steel fastener passes the ASTM B117 salt spray test for corrosion resistance. A #2 Phillips drive engages positively to reduce cam-out during installation. Maximum head width is 5/16 inch with a head height of 3/16 inch for consistent countersinking. The pointed tip ensures reliable penetration.

Replaces Bulk Collated Strips for Small Jobs

This small pack replaces bulk collated strips when only a few dozen screws are needed. It eliminates the cost and storage of a full box for patchwork, remodels or single-room projects. The jump is worth it when fastener count is low and immediate availability matters.

Questions about this item

How do I drive the #8 x 2-53/64 in SENCO drywall screw without stripping the #2 Phillips recess?

Use a #2 Phillips bit, apply steady pressure, and stop when the bugle head sits flush — over-driving tears the paper face.

Will the phosphate coating on these steel screws need replacement or re-treatment over time?

The hardened drill point and phosphate finish resist corrosion per ASTM B117; no re-coating is required for interior drywall use.

At what thickness does the 2-53/64 in length stop providing full thread engagement in wood studs?

Full engagement ends beyond roughly 2-1/2 in of combined drywall and framing — longer assemblies need a longer fastener.
