Found out the average drywaller goes through 1,200 screws a day
Read it in a trade magazine article about material waste. Honestly, I counted mine on a big residential job in Phoenix last week and I was over 1,500. Ngl, that number feels about right but it still blew my mind. How many do you guys usually burn through on a standard install?

Counted my own work on a commercial job last month and it was way under that. We're doing metal stud and drywall, and a good day is maybe 800 screws if we're flying. A lot of guys overdrive and waste screws fixing their own mistakes. Good layout and planning cuts that number down big time.

Exactly, a sharp pencil saves a ton of screws.
