Re: Best Fastener?

We use all Marker screws. Though I'm not much on pricing of metal stud screws (self tappers) but $100 a box sounds spendy. Especially when we pay $30 a box for 6 x 1 1/4 for residential screws

Re: Best Fastener?

Those self-drillers for heavy ga. steel will run over a C-note easy.
