Default Sheet rock screws: fine vs coarse thread?

"DoN. Nichols" fired this volley in
:

At first glance, they looked like drywall screws,
but examining one showed that instead of having a sharp spiral point,
they had a drill bit point, so they would drill through the metal and
then thread in -- going into pre-drilled and countersunk holes in the
sides of the new top.


Yeah? (Um... they're called "self-drilling sheet metal screws". Any ACE
Hardware store will have them) G
