Overview

NSI Industries SDS9M Self-Drilling & Tapping Drywall Screw (#8 size, 3" length) is engineered for fast, secure fastening in metal stud applications up to 12 gauge. This fine-thread screw features a self-drilling point for pre-drilling and tapping in a single operation, eliminating the need for separate drilling and driving steps. The bugle head design ensures countersinking into drywall without tearing, while the zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in interior applications. The #2 Phillips drive offers reliable torque transfer, reducing cam-out and slippage during installation. Supplied in a 1000-piece job jar with a compatible #2 power bit, the SDS9M streamlines drywall installation workflows for contractors and builders. Ideal for commercial and residential construction, this screw meets industry standards for drywall fastening and is manufactured in the USA by NSI Industries. The symmetrical fine thread ensures consistent engagement with metal studs, reducing the risk of stripping and ensuring a secure hold. Compatible with 12-gauge steel studs, this screw is a versatile choice for interior wall and ceiling applications where drywall thickness ranges from 1/2" to 5/8".
