Just finished a commercial job where we install 30x50 heavy duty reinforced 1/2-in backer board that supports cabinets up to 300 plus pounds when fully loaded. I normally use hex head self-tapping bolts with the Milwaukee 18-volt driver similar to your setup in the video on setting torque setting #1, but still intermittently stripping. I'm having to take the extra time and trouble to then go with 1/2 inch hole to install toggler bolts which is a real pain and slow. Looking to find self-tapping screws that bite and can support the weight without easily stripping on #1 setting.
How do you prevent over driving them with an impact driver? I have been drilling a pilot hole because I couldn’t get them started otherwise and then even driving them in with a screw driver by hand it feels like I can barely tighten it up without over driving. I hate metal studs
What tool do you use to secure the metal rail to concrete floor that isn't to expensive and to get the job done? Its for add a extra room to the house i did but a regular hand gun but not sure if its going to work? ( amazon light duty fastening tool thats what its called) im here in Pensacola Florida
How to fix the metal channel into concrete wall or floor, is it possible to screw directly without having to predrill and having to need a rawl plug? I want to drill / fix into the concrete with ‘one pass’ if possible

I need to drill steel pegboards into a metal muscle rack. Would you recommend the first screw for this?
Perfect exactly what I need to do

How do you control depth of drive of screw through sheetrock when using the impact driver? Thanks.
Go bucs!!
