TiMCO black collated drywall screws are the go-to choice for drylining and plasterboard work where speed and consistency matter. Supplied on collated strips for use with auto-feed screwguns, these coarse thread screws drive cleanly and countersink to the right depth every time, without the stop-start of loading individual fixings. If you are fixing a lot of board in a day, the difference is noticeable before you have even had your first brew.
The coarse thread is specifically designed for fixing into timber studwork and wooden frames. It bites quickly and pulls the board tight without tearing the paper face, giving a clean finish that does not need a lot of filling before skimming. The black phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance suited to interior dry environments and also reduces glare when working under site lighting.
Where TiMCO Black Collated Drywall Screws Get Used
These screws are used across a wide range of drylining and partitioning jobs. Single and double layer board applications, stud partition walls, ceiling boards, and service void linings are all typical uses. Available in sizes from 3.5 x 25mm through to 4.2 x 75mm, there is a length for single board, double board, and thicker assemblies alike.
TiMCO is a well-established brand in the UK trade fixing market, and these collated drywall screws are consistent in quality across the box. The strip spacing is reliable, which matters when you are running an auto-feed tool at pace and the last thing you want is a mis-feed stalling the job. Available in boxes of 500 or 1000, with bulk discounts available for larger orders.
Pro Tip: When using an auto-feed screwgun, set the depth clutch on a scrap piece of board first, particularly if you are switching between board thicknesses mid-job, as the correct countersink depth changes and an overtightened screw will break the paper face and lose holding strength.
These collated drywall screws are used on drylining and partitioning jobs across residential, commercial, and fit-out sites. They are suited to fixing plasterboard to timber studwork, ceiling joists, and wooden noggins as part of stud partition walls, ceiling linings, and service void enclosures. Drylining contractors, first-fix carpenters, and general builders all use collated drywall screws routinely when boarding out rooms or fitting out new-build properties.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for fixing into metal stud or track systems, which require fine thread drywall screws. Not recommended for exterior or high-moisture applications.
Load the collated strip into a screwgun or drill with an auto-feed attachment. Set the depth so the screw sits just below the paper face of the board without breaking through it. Drive screws at regular centres, typically 200 to 300mm depending on the specification, keeping them at least 10mm in from board edges to avoid crumbling.
If the paper face tears or the screw pulls through, the clutch depth is set too deep. A correctly driven screw leaves a shallow dimple that can be filled and skimmed flush. Select the appropriate length based on board thickness, allowing enough thread to bite firmly into the timber substrate beneath.
Select the correct screw length for your board thickness, ensuring sufficient penetration into the timber stud or joist beneath
Load the collated strip into your auto-feed screwgun or attachment
Set the depth clutch on a scrap offcut of board before starting, adjusting until the screw countersinks just below the paper face
Position the board and drive screws at the specified centres, keeping fixings at least 10mm from board edges
Check early fixings to confirm the depth is consistent before continuing along the run
Fill any dimples with jointing compound before taping and skimming
What is the difference between coarse thread and fine thread drywall screws?
Coarse thread drywall screws are designed for fixing plasterboard to timber studwork and wooden frames. The coarser thread bites well into wood and pulls the board tight. Fine thread drywall screws are intended for metal stud and track systems, where a coarse thread would strip the thin steel rather than grip it. These TiMCO black collated screws are coarse thread, so they are the correct choice for timber-framed partitions and ceilings.
Will these screws work with any auto-feed screwgun?
These collated drywall screws are compatible with standard auto-feed screwgun attachments from common brands such as Senco, Dewalt, Makita, and most other manufacturers that accept industry-standard collated drywall strip. Always check the strip width and screw diameter against your specific tool's specification if you are unsure.
TiMCO black collated drywall screws feature a black phosphate finish that provides corrosion resistance in dry interior conditions. The coarse thread profile is designed to maximise pull-out strength in softwood and engineered timber. Bugle head geometry allows the screw to countersink smoothly into plasterboard without tearing the paper face, and the collated strip format maintains consistent spacing for reliable auto-feed performance.
