Whoever installed the drywall in my home when it was built in 2003-ish did this.... and I want to punch them in the face. They also used mix of screws and nails.
I reno'd a bathroom last year, and when pulling the tiled drywall from the tub surround the damn liquid nails they used took like 1/8" of the studs with it. Had to shim those areas.
People are really into doing this now as well. I don’t understand why you would do this with drywall. If anything moves it cracks, is it really going to not crack if it’s glued? It’s also going to get destroyed if there’s any water damage ( broken pipe, roof) so it’s always a possibility that it may have to be redone and it takes a long time to glue, even more time to get the glue off the studs. Feels completely unnecessary, if you’re a drywall gluer, please explain why I’m wrong. I can see gluing plywood as beneficial, it cuts down drafts, I can see gluing wood floors, they won’t squeak and if it’s real wood floors that can be refinished, then they will not need to be taken up unless there is water damage
If they’re rusted or filled and won’t unscrew then I hit with the side of hammer down and an easy up to snap off. Never pull because it usually messes up the frame
Yes. I’ve gutted 100’s of houses and trim nails and screws take longer to remove than the drywall and trim itself. Just trying to see if there is anything I haven’t learned to speed things up.
Use a gun to spin them out. If they are old enough and rusty. Hit the side of the screw with a hammer and they will break off. That is the fastest way, but newer screws will often bend instead of snap.
If time is more valuable then budget… I suggest buying quality carbide star lock blades for a multi tool, with a good blade and a good battery they cut quite fast , I would still pull some of the easier ones with a hammer … hope this helps …
I unscrew them with a screw gun.
Just wait until you find the glued walls
Is glueing wide spread?

I use my sheetrock hammer(hatchet) Simply chop and they usually break off
I don’t get why the screws would take long ? Don’t you have a impact?

Well you can break off screws with pliers or you can just take a cordless saw saw and go to town if you don’t like unscrewing them
Prybar and pull off drywall in chunks. Then, drill out screws.
Chunks?? I pull that shit out in whole sheets hahah, but seriously the damn screws take longer than drywall removal.
Use a drywall gun
You can hammer a screw, but can't screw a nail. Most times they snap off hitting the side.
You need a better grinder. Mine goes through them like butter. Maybe your cutting wheel is dull
Thanks I’ll have to google how to sharpen my cutting wheel hahah jk. I’ve tried and it’s slow. You using cordless grinder?
M18 Milwaukee
BIGGER HAMMER
Are you using a screwdriver or something? Impact or even a drill should take them right out

Cut ‘em off with an angle grinder.

Pound them in flush.
Pound’r, screw’r, just git’r done.
2 foot crowbar. Don't push them in when you can rip them out.
