Drywall Screws
When putting up and fastening your drywall, drywall screws are usually a lot faster to use than nails. You may want to use an electric drywall screw gun for this job as it will let you adjust and sink the screws a little below the drywall surface. You won't have this type of control with a regular screw gun. When using a screw gun, use only drywall screws. 1-1/4 inch screws should be used for 1/2 inch drywall, and 1-5/8 inch screws are needed for 5/8 inch drywall. There are different types of drywall screws available, such as fine and coarse-threaded screws along with self drilling drywall screws. They come in various sizes and heads and can be stainless steel, coated or plated. Drywall screws usually sell in boxes and can be had for just a few cents per screw online.
