The Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS screw is a multi-purpose, self-drilling, pilot point screw suitable for attaching drywall and sheathing to cold-formed steel framing. An update to the existing PPSD Sheathing-to-CFS screw, the PPHD features a larger #5 pilot point with a longer flute and comes in popular #8 sizes. Plus, the fastener has buttress threads and a new dog-eared point for improved drilling performance through sheathing and metal. The screws can be purchased in bulk quantities for hand-drive applications or collated for auto-feed driving with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2, PRO250G2 and PRO200SG2 auto-feed screw driving systems.
