#8 x 2-1/4" Self-Drilling Cement Board Screw - Dagger-Guard Coating, Pkg 3000
Specifications
Engineered for both seasoned professionals and capable DIYers, the Daggerz Self‑Drilling Cement Board Screw with Dagger‑Guard coating offers fast install, strong hold and superior corrosion protection. Secure cement board to metal framing with confidence.
Key Features
- Self‑drilling tip: The #2 drill point removes the need for pre‑drilling into metal framing.
- Wafer head with nibs: Countersinks cleanly into cement board for a flush finish.
- Dagger‑Guard coating: Proven to pass 1,000 hour salt‑spray testing for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Versatile metal framing support: Suitable for metal substrate thicknesses approx. 0.033″ to 0.112″.
- Bulk ready packaging: Large‑quantity packs make this ideal for job sites or high‑volume installs.
Applications
- Securing cement board to light‑gauge metal framing in tile, veneer or stucco wall systems.
- Exterior installations such as rainscreens or stucco over metal lath - where corrosion resistance and fast install are critical.
- Interior wet‑area walls using metal framing and cement board backing (e.g., showers, locker rooms).
- Both commercial and residential construction contexts where ease‑of‑install and durability go hand in hand.
Installation
- Choose the correct length and diameter option to match your cement board thickness and metal framing gauge.
- Use a #2 Phillips driver bit in your drill‑driver or screw gun.
- Align the screw perpendicular through the cement board into the metal substrate, then drive until the wafer head is flush.
- Maintain firm pressure and steady speed so the self‑drilling point penetrates the metal substrate cleanly - avoid over‑torquing.
- Reference cement board manufacturer’s guidelines for screw pattern and spacing; ensure your metal framing is within the supported thickness range (0.033″–0.112″).
- For exterior or high‑moisture installations, confirm full system compatibility; the Dagger‑Guard finish improves corrosion resistance, but the system should still be properly designed for durability.

The Right Point for Every Project
Different point types pierce various materials. Standard points handle light- to medium-gauge metal, long points tackle thicker steel, self-piercing points work well in wood or thin metal and winged points clear softer layers before drilling harder substrates, ensuring faster, cleaner and secure installations.
