This is a joke right? Answer is - they're cheap!
Drywall screws are threaded and provide a stronger hold compared to nails, which are smooth. Screws are more suitable for hanging drywall as they offer better support and are less likely to pop out over time.
Drywall screws have threads that grip the drywall better and are less likely to pop out over time compared to nails. Screws are generally more suitable for hanging drywall because they provide a stronger and more secure hold. Nails can be used for hanging drywall as well, but screws are often preferred for a more reliable installation.
A standard sheet of drywall typically weighs approximately 50-80 pounds.
The weight of one sheet of drywall 12'x2'x1" (feet) would typically be around 53-57 pounds, depending on the specific type and thickness of the drywall.
If you mean 4x8 x 3/8 -then its about 38 pounds.
For drywall installation, the best screws are usually drywall screws with a sharp tip and fine threads (for metal studs) or coarse threads (for wooden studs). The length depends on how thick your drywall is, but most commonly people use 1-inch to 1.5-inch screws for single-layer boards. From my personal experience, I’ve found Buildwell drywall screws to be very reliable. They grip well, don’t rust easily, and offer a solid hold whether you're fixing gypsum boards or ceiling panels. If you’re doing ceiling work, especially using Buildwell gypsum boards (which are quite popular), pairing them with their own screws ensures compatibility and strength. They are one of the Best Ceiling Products Brand in India, and their screws are designed keeping in mind both durability and ease of installation. So yes, for anyone working with drywall—whether it’s for false ceilings, partitions, or interiors—a good quality screw like the one from Buildwell makes a real difference in the long run.

There is a 'lifter' to hold a sheet about 1/2 inch off the floor. This is like a metal footshape with a roller under it and lifts the sheet when your foot presses it.
