Collated Screws

Bugle head drywall screws or metal roof screws are among the most common types used when securing drywall sheets to ceiling joists, wall studs, wood, metal tracks and more. While single screw systems can be operated with a simple screwdriver or electric drywall screwdriver for the average do-it-yourself type person, it may not be as cost effective when hundreds or even thousands have to be installed every day for professional builders.

Before the invention of automatic feeding (auto-feed in short) screwdrivers, handling loose screws presented a challenge to installers while they positioned drywalls with one hand and tried to place the screws perpendicular to the drywall, driving them but not over-driving them with the other.

Drywall contractors were overjoyed with the introduction of the auto-feed system, which came in the form of either an attachment to a standard loose screw-gun, or a dedicated screw-gun system with an integrated, oftentimes adjustable, auto-feeder.

Auto-feed systems not only increased speed (up to four times faster than installing loose screws) and efficiency, but also improved workplace safety. Gone are the days of fumbling clumsily through bulk packages, fighting to keep screws to stay on top of the Philips drive bit while balancing your arm over the drywall trying to pinpoint the drill and drive location.
