Fine thread collated drywall screws are the go-to fixing when you’re boarding out with a collated screw gun. These 3.5mm gauge screws come in a bright zinc finish and are stripped onto a collation that feeds cleanly through all major brands of collated screwdriver. If you’re hanging board all day, the last thing you want is a screw strip jamming or misfiring — these are cut to work properly in the machine, not fight it.
The bugle head is the key design feature here. It lets the screw pull itself flush into the board face without tearing the paper or crumpling the surface, which means a cleaner finish and less filling before decoration. No pre-drilling, no countersinking, just drive and move on.
Where Fine Thread Collated Drywall Screws Get Used
Fine thread is the correct choice for fixing plasterboard to metal stud partitions and ceiling systems. The tighter thread pitch gives better purchase in thinner gauge metal, which is where coarse thread can strip out if you’re not careful. For timber stud, coarse thread is generally preferred, but fine thread will still perform well in most boarding applications — it’s what most fixers keep in the gun as standard.
Available Lengths
These screws come in nine lengths from 25mm up to 75mm, covering single board fixing through to double-layer partitions or thicker assemblies. The 3.5 x 32mm and 3.5 x 38mm sizes are the most commonly used for standard single-layer 12.5mm board. Longer lengths like the 50mm and 75mm come into their own when you’re fixing through double board or into steel section with a bit of depth to it.
Supplied in boxes of 1000, these are priced for volume use. Bulk discounts are available — worth a call or message if you’re pricing a larger job or restocking the van.
Pro Tip: When loading a new strip into your collated gun, always fire the first screw or two into scrap board to confirm the depth setting before you start on the live plasterboard — depth settings can shift between strip changes.
These screws are used by drylining fixers, partitioning contractors and plastering teams fixing plasterboard to metal stud and track systems. They work across standard partitions, ceiling linings, dry lining to masonry on dab, and fire-rated board assemblies where collated fixing speeds up throughput on larger areas. Suitable for both domestic and commercial fit-out work wherever a collated screw gun is being used.

Not suitable for: Fine thread is not the best choice for fixing into timber stud — coarse thread gives better pull-through resistance in wood. These screws require a collated screw gun and are not suitable for use with a standard drill driver.
Load the collated strip into the screw gun nose and set the depth so the screw head sits just below the board face without breaking the paper. Hold the board tight to the stud before driving, and keep the gun square to the surface to avoid the screw angling off and tearing through.On metal stud, let the screw do the work — forcing it too fast can cause the tip to wander before it bites. A steady consistent speed gives the cleanest result and reduces the chance of the strip misfiring in the magazine.
Set the depth collar on your collated screw gun so the screw will sit just flush without breaking the board paper
Load the collated strip into the magazine nose and advance it to the first screw
Hold or brace the plasterboard firmly against the stud before driving
Position the nose of the gun on your marked fixing point, keeping it square to the board surface
Drive the screw at a steady speed — let the clutch do the depth control, avoid forcing it
Check the first couple of fixings visually to confirm depth is correct before continuing across the run
What is the difference between fine thread and coarse thread drywall screws?
Fine thread screws have a tighter thread pitch, which gives better grip in metal stud and track. Coarse thread is designed for timber stud work where the wider pitch bites into the wood grain more effectively. For metal frame partitions and ceiling systems, fine thread is the correct choice.
Will these work with my collated screw gun?
Yes. These are 3.5mm gauge screws on a standard collated strip compatible with all major brands of collated screwdriver, including Dewalt, Makita, Hilti, and own-brand machines. If your gun takes standard collated drywall screws, these will feed through it without any adaptor needed.
These drywall screws are manufactured to a 3.5mm shank diameter with a fine thread form and hardened steel construction. The bright zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for internal dry lining applications. The bugle head profile distributes drive load across a wider bearing surface, allowing the screw to countersink cleanly into plasterboard without tearing the face paper.
