Just restocking my ammo cans of screws tonight for the first time in like twelve years.
Ok, we have for Black Oxide Coated Bugle Head Philips Screws, #6 fine or Coarse and #8 coarse or high/low threaded for many types of normal drywall screw.
At the home center tonight I noted that while 1.1/4" there was #6 coarse or fine in 1# boxes and #8 coarse in 5# boxes - High/low only available. For 2", only a choice only course #6 in 1# boxes or #8 coarse in 5# boxes.
Very dissippointed in that selection. Still had for 2" at least a few pounds of #8 screws in stock, just the thinner screws most needed I could not get in bulk, this much less coice of fine thread also not available.
Kind of dissipointed that the 1# verses the 5# boxes were not the same in size, this much less given 2" screw is often the screw of choice for me, it wasn't available at all in #6 size.
I mostly use 1.1/4 screws and 2" Philips drywall scews most. Like the smaller #6 size to them most often and dependant on the situation, fine thread more usually.
Yea.. could get them elsewhere but it's my local store. What's up with the 1# verses the 5# boxes being different wire gauges?
This much less what's your most used size of screw and what course and size do you ues?
