Tips for Using Screws With Deeper Threads

April 8, 2021

Many homeowners out there find themselves compelled to take on as may DIY home improvement projects as they can. From simple fixes and repairs to more heavy-duty projects, you can find your own DIY skills improving over time when you become a homeowner.

This generally happens because most people would prefer to take the time to learn how to do certain things themselves as opposed to calling in a contractor or other professional whenever something goes wrong or needs updating in the home. Even though you should always call in a pro when it comes to complex and intricate work, it never hurts to brush up on your DIY skills and tackle certain projects on your own.

Part of improving your DIY skills involves learning about the more common materials and equipment that you might find yourself handling over time. For instance, while there might have once been a time when a screw was just a screw in your mind, you might now have become aware that there are different types of screws intended to be used for different purposes.

Screws with deeper threads are a common material for many projects that involve construction. Over the course of your DIY adventures, you will most likely find yourself using such screws for various reasons.

Here are a few tips for using screws with deeper threads so that you can complete your home improvement project to perfection.

Understanding Quantities

As with many materials used in home improvement projects, you will find that screws with deeper threads, also referred to as drywall screws, are either sold by weight or quantity. You need to make sure that you know which purchasing option is available to you based on the retailer you are shopping with.

Take the time to estimate as accurately as possible how many screws you are going to need for your project. If the retailer you are shopping with sells based on quantity, you will most likely be given a choice between 500 and 1000 screws. If, however, you are shopping by weight, be sure to check estimates for how many screws you can expect to get per pound.

Learn the Lingo

Another revelation that comes with advancing your DIY skills is that there is an entirely new vocabulary to learn. This aspect of learning to DIY applies to using drills and drywall screws as well, so make sure that you brush up on the lingo before you get to work.

Understanding the terminology associated with construction and home improvement projects will make it easier for you to understand any tutorials or how-to articles that you might come across. For example, understanding what the “sharp point” is will help you to understand better what your instructions mean when they are telling you how to get the screw started.

Knowing ahead of time what the various terms mean will save you a great deal of time that you might have otherwise spent Googling the various words and terms that you don’t understand.
