Fas‑n‑Tite 48372 #8 x 3 in. Coarse Thread Drywall Screws – 1 lb (Approx. 77 pcs)
Built for heavy‑duty fastening performance, the Fas‑n‑Tite #8 x 3 in. Coarse Thread Drywall Screws (Model 48372) deliver the strength, length, and bite needed for secure drywall installations into wood framing. These high‑quality steel screws feature an extended 3‑inch length ideal for thicker drywall panels, specialty installations, or penetrating deeper framing layers where additional holding power is required.
Their bugle head design seats neatly into drywall without tearing the surface paper, preparing the wall for mudding and painting. The sharp point and coarse threading ensure fast drive engagement, excellent grip, and reduced splitting, even in dense or aged lumber. The black phosphate finish boosts corrosion resistance and improves adhesion of joint compound and paint, while also enhancing visibility during installation.
This 1‑lb box contains approximately 77 screws, making it a practical choice for small‑to‑medium drywall projects, repairs, or targeted framing needs.
