Drywall Screw
What is the best way to put a nail or screw on drywall?
If a nail or screw has to be put on drywall to hang paintings etc what is the best way to put it on drywall? Do I drill a hole and then put a screw or do I just screw with a screw driver.
Is there a special kind of screw or nail for drywall that I need to consider or is any nail/screw good?
First, use a stud finder to see if there is a stud behind the spot where you want to hang your painting, etc.
If not, use a threaded drywall anchor, which looks like this:

Put the tip where you want to hang, and use a hammer to hammer it in until it is at the spot where it starts spiraling, and use a screwdriver to get it the rest of the way in
They come in a box of several along with the actual screws that go in them, so you can just use one of those.
Good Luck!
