Drywall Screw Fine Thread 3.5 × 42mm – Approx. 1000pcs


Complete your plasterboard and dry lining projects with our 3.5 × 42mm Fine Thread Drywall Screws, designed to provide a secure, reliable and professional fixing for a wide range of interior construction applications. Supplied in a convenient bulk pack of approximately 1000 screws, these fixings are an excellent choice for professional tradespeople, builders, contractors, plasterers and DIY users across the UK.


Reliable Fixing for Plasterboard

These fine thread drywall screws are designed primarily for fixing plasterboard to light-gauge metal stud framing and metal profiles. The fine thread pattern provides effective engagement with metal, helping to create a firm and dependable fixing while making installation quick and straightforward.


Whether you're installing a new partition wall, carrying out a property renovation or completing a larger commercial dry lining project, these screws offer the practicality and performance required for everyday plasterboard work.


Sharp Point for Faster Installation

Each screw features a sharp point designed to penetrate plasterboard and suitable metal framing efficiently. This helps reduce the effort required when starting the screw and allows for quicker installation when working across larger areas.


The screws feature a Phillips cross-head drive, making them compatible with commonly used screwdrivers and suitable power tools. This makes them a convenient option for both professional site work and home improvement projects.


Neat Bugle Head Design

The bugle-style countersunk head is specifically suited to plasterboard applications. Its shape allows the screw head to sit neatly into the surface of the plasterboard while helping to minimise unnecessary damage to the board face.

Once correctly installed, the screw sits neatly below or level with the plasterboard surface, helping create a smooth finish ready for jointing, filling and decorating.


Black Phosphate Finish

These drywall screws feature a traditional black phosphate finish, giving them the recognisable appearance commonly associated with professional drywall fixings. They are intended primarily for dry, internal applications, including residential, commercial and renovation projects.


Ideal for a Range of Projects

The 42mm length and 3.5mm diameter make these screws a practical choice for suitable plasterboard fixing applications. They can be used for projects including dry lining, plasterboard installation, metal stud partition walls, suspended ceiling systems, interior renovations, extensions and general building work.


For professional users, the approximately 1000-piece bulk pack means fewer interruptions to restock during larger installations. For DIY customers, it provides a useful supply for current and future interior projects.

Professional usage tips

Insights from Dr Tools' trade team — how the professionals get the most out of DRYWALL SCREW FINE THREAD 3.5x42mm ~ 1000pcs .

  1. Tip 1

    Always pre-drill pilot holes for drywall screws to prevent splitting the board, especially near edges.

  2. Tip 2

    Ensure that the screw is driven flush with the drywall surface for a smooth finish, avoiding dimpling.

  3. Tip 3

    Utilize a depth stop on your drill to maintain consistent screw depth and prevent damage to the drywall paper.

    Fine thread gives a really secure hold in metal studs. Used plenty from the box and had consistent quality throughout.
