We just had a metal shelter built for the Kubota and stuff. The frame is 12 guage galvanized steel. The erectors, Carolina Carports (great folks and products), used self drilling screws to assemble the frame, roof etc. They left several dozen for me, and I used several to install some shelf brackets. No problem, I used the Bosch PS40 impact driver and a Ridgid cordless driver and with minimal pressure the screws went in easily.
Yesterday I started to install 1/4" pegboard on 2 interior metal studs. It took much pressure to get the screws to drill, I mean a lot. After the screws bottomed out, the holes are bigger than the screws, the darn screws can be pulled out by hand. Same thing with the impact driver or drill. I did several, making sure I held the driver/drill steady and straight.
Any ideas? This has me puzzled. :dontknow::help:
Thanks, please tell me where I am causing this.
