Skip the self-tapping screws on metal studs

Bought a box of Grabber self-tappers last month for a commercial job. Third screw snapped and the tip flew into my arm. Stick with quality zip screws like the Jet Blacks. Anyone else have a brand they trust for steel framing?

Still picking metal splinters out of that arm?

Three months ago I would have said it's just part of the job, @hernandez.ben. Then a piece of stainless steel wire went through my safety glasses and hit my eyelid. Now I wear a full face shield every time I'm anywhere near a grinder or wire brush. That little trip to urgent care changed my whole outlook on ppe.
