Common mistakes when using self drilling screws (European Handypeople)

This video is a tutorial about self-drilling screws, a great invention because they allow us to work on metals without making previous holes. Furthermore, they offer us greater precision and speed.

However, when they are not used properly, the effect can be the opposite of what we are looking for: breakage or defective anchors. That's why our goal is to help you identify the mistakes that are most often made when using self-drilling screws or drill bits.

Thank you! I was simply using the wrong screws for my application. At first, I thought I bought bad screws because they dulled out so fast, now I realize the mistake was my own.
