Pro tip: Skip the self-tapping screws on metal studs

Switched to a collated screw gun with standard bugle heads and my speed doubled in one week. The self-tappers kept snapping on 20-gauge studs. Anyone else ditch those things yet?

Buddy of mine had three snap on him in one morning, threw the box across the garage.

My buddy Mike had three of those self-tappers snap in a row on a fire-rated stud. He just stood there staring at the ceiling for a solid minute.
