- FIG 17 shown therein is a sectional side view of the s ⁇ iall preset depth spacer and finger guard for screws 40 in use when installing a ceiling.
- Installing sheetrock 18 ⁇ ⁇ a ceiling can be awkward because the installer is often ⁇ a ladder and has to position the sheetr ⁇ ck and hold it in place while driving the screws 32.
- a plurality of screws 32 is typically started into the sheetrock 18 and driven home once the sheetrock is in place. This relieves the installer of the cumbersome task of handling the screw 32 while holding the sheetrock 18.
- the present invention 40 may be employed with the started screws 32 when installing a ceiling. The screw 32 is driven into the sheetrock 18 until the preset spacer 40 contacts the surface of the sheetrock 18.
- the increased area and flared plug configuration Of the present invention 40 provide improved grabbing ability as opposed to a screw head. Furthermore, the preset spacer 40 assures that the screw 32 isn't overdriven as often happens when using just a screw which results in an inadequate amount of sheetrock 18 bearing the weight Of the board. Also shown are facing paper 24, backing paper 52, ceiling joist 56 and gap 58 between the sheetrock and joist.
- Screw 32 installation in the prior aft often entails holding the screw until it starts to pull.
- the rotation of the screw head can damage the user's fingers 60, especially when they have been driving screws Over an extended period Of time. Lacerations 62 occur to the front of the thumb and index finger while holding the threaded part of the screw.
- FIG 19 shown therein is a side view of the present invention lO in use as a finger guard.
- the present invention 10 may also be used as a finger 60 guard wherein th ⁇ user holds the preset screw device as the screw 32 rotates freely therein.
- Figure 20 shown therein is an illustrative side view of the prior ait and the present invention 10 in use with screws 32 that have fnissed the stud.
- the present invention 10 saves installers time when they rhiss the stud 16 because they don't have to try to back up the screw 32 or pull it out with their fingernails because the screw in the sheetrock 18 does not have enough drawing power to pull the preset depth spacer into the sheetr ⁇ ck s6 the user just grasps the present invention and pulls out the screw.
- FIG 21 shown therein is a perspective view of the large preset depth spacer for stick nails 64.
- the present invention 64 fnay also be designed tangentially flat 66 On one side of the head 46 to provide dense spacing when used with stick nail for use in a gun.
