How many drywall screws are there in a 1 lb. box? If you are sheetrocking a room, you need to know.

I counted.

1 lb. box

#6 - 1 1/4" screws 250 (258)

#6 - 1 5/8" screws 200 (196)

The chart shows for 1 1/4" 258 and that's what I got, 258! Boy, they are good matching me!

For 1 5/8" 200, I got 196! Should I recount, or return the box and get another and count that one?

Need I say more?

LOL, don't drop any.
Double what you think you need and if no projects in the future, return the excess.

My project list is never empty so I have lots of excess on my shelves and it often saves time and money.

The next question is: How many screws in a 5 lb box?

JLawrence08648 · May 27, 2020

I'll get back to you on that.

Hmmmm.

My curiosity wonders, did you count one by one as you used them? Or dumped them onto the floor and counted them in the pile like RainMan?

JLawrence08648 · May 28, 2020

I gave the 2 boxes to my sister, who is currently a not working school nurse as I'm doing work on her Condo for her. I told her, if I have to do the counting, the work stops. She did the counting.

The question begs to be asked:

Where's "Rainman" when you need him. "246 screws in the box, yeah, 246."
