Drywall screws are fasteners specifically designed for securing gypsum boards (commonly known as "drywall") and are widely used in the construction and decoration industry.
Their main uses are as follows:

1. **Securing drywall to studs**
This is the core purpose of drywall screws. In the construction of drywall ceilings, partition walls, etc., drywall needs to be firmly fixed to the base studs (light steel studs or wooden studs).
The thread design of drywall screws (fine threads for light steel studs, coarse threads for wooden studs) allows them to tightly grip the base material, preventing drywall from loosening or shifting and ensuring structural stability.

2. **Reducing the risk of drywall cracking**
Drywall screws typically feature a countersunk head design, where the screw head can be fully recessed into the drywall surface (using specialized tools for driving).
This is followed by filling the screw holes with putty and other processes, preventing subsequent cracking of walls and ceilings caused by protruding screw heads, thus ensuring the aesthetic quality of the decoration.

3. **Adapting to light-load fixing scenarios**
Beyond drywall, drywall screws can also be used to fix other lightweight decorative materials (such as thin panels, insulation layers, etc.).
Due to their relatively thin shank and moderate load-bearing capacity, they are suitable for connecting light-load substrates. Additionally, they are easy to install with no pre-drilling required (can be directly driven in).

In summary, the design of drywall screws is fully tailored to the needs of drywall installation. Through optimized thread and screw head structures, they balance fixing strength and the convenience of decoration processes,
making them an indispensable specialized fastener in drywall construction.
