Default Screwing Down Backerboad for Tile... (Rant)

So is it me, or is there a trick to putting down the backer board for tile?

Those 'self counter-sinking' screws are worthless as far as trying to self
counter-sinking. To get them flush we ended up predrilling holes for the
Screw shaft and a bigger counter -sink hole for the screw head.

Is that how its done? Without pre-drilling we could not get the Screws to
Counter-sink.

I've tried with both regular cement board and hardybacker board.

Thanks,
Scott


Drill choice?
