Talk about a top shelf informational video. Kudos to this dude.

[@minimalistvagabonds1597]

Agreed. Thank you for the clear information!

Cool. A great description of the right screw for the job. I wouldn't have thought about just using a sharp screw for lighter gauge steel. A great guide for the many choices in screws.

Useful, thanks. I'm researching a new house build using metal studs.

[@happyjourneygateway]

do you guys not have those plywood to metal stud screws at 5:48 anymore? I couldn't find them on your web site

Is 20 gauge metal (studs) considered light or heavy gauge in this relation?
Do I need sharp point or self drilling screws for 20 gauge metal studs?

Self drillers.
