Questions & Answers

This says 1lb. 289 pcs. But when I opened it there was only 160. Why? This is the #6x1" 2.54cm Grip Rite Drywall Screws

Answer This Question

If you have purchased a box of nails that has a quantity count significantly less than what is detailed on the box, please return to your local home depot. 289 qty count is an approximate count based on that weight of the product.

                Use about 32 drywall screws per sheet of 4-foot by 8-foot drywall installed horizontally on a wall.

                  I love these screws! I use them for so many things besides drywall because they grab and bite wood real well! Currently I am using them to make a shower bench!

                  Love griprite screws, good price, and they work. I even use them for general projects around the house, and they keep things in place. Just like your favorite pair of underwear.

                  Strong and durable screws. Ideal for attaching drywall into wood studs. For reference I used this screws on .5” drywall and 2x4 studs.

                  For the price, you won't find another drywall that delivers this kind of quality! This Lightweight drywall was easy to lift and didn't break. I found it nice to work with when mudding and texting. For the price, you can't beat it. I would recommend getting the 12 foot sheets so you can finish the project way faster. Having it 30+ sheets delivered was a game changer and we'll work the delivery fee.

                  I prefer these drywall screws over the Fas-n-tite brand, they just feel to be a better quality. The 2 inch length is excellent for reinstalling rock lathe plaster that varies in thickness from 3/4" to over 1" that was taken down and for patching plaster walls with double layer 3/8" drywall.

                  I am by no means a professional drywall installer. Like my attempts at plumbing, I truly stink at it. I like the holding ability of these screws. I dislike that among the screws are small shards of very sharp metal that end up in my fingers. I normally buy the smaller one pound packs but with the basement walls all needing drywall, I purchased the 5 pound box.
