Fine threads go in to steel framing members, and the course is for wood, but the fine thread work well on the wood to. At least that is what a drywaller person told me. I just buy a box of 1 and 1/4th for 1/2 drywall, of what ever is less expensive. Michael

Can anyone explain the purpose or application for coarse threads verses fine threads? - Gil Laster, Charlotte, NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
