"Self drilling" is the term, and if they aren't Chinese junk they are
usually good for 16 guage steel - perhaps 14. Useless foir anything
heavier. Chiners junk is good for about 18 guage aluminum on a good

Actually there are at least four types of screw that cut their own
thread.
You have the self drilling that is a sheet metal screw with a drill
bit tip on the end that actually drills the pilot hole (Commonly
called Tek screws)
Then there is the self tapping sheet metal screw that just has a point
on the end and gnaws it's way in
The third is a "swage form" machine screw that goes into a pilot hole
and the tip is threaded all the way to the end with a slight taper and
a triangular shape until it gets to the body of the thread. It
actually swages threads
The 4th is a self tapping machine screw that has a tapered thread and
slits cut in it to take away the waste material just like a tap.
I have some of each type if anyone wants pictures.

Those are my least favorite. Unlike a tap where you sometimes turn it
backwards to break the chip or even remove it entirely to clean the
grooves most of those are rammed in with little thought to removing them.

I always use PZ2 screws with a PZ2 bit on an cordless drill. Not only is a power drill easier and faster than a manual screwdriver, but you can concentrate on holding it straight and providing enough force to keep the bit in the screw head, while the motor does the rotation. I'm talking about these sort of woodscrews (note this SORT, not these particular ones, this was the first link I found): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322667640506

From the complaint I had pretty much ruled out the common sheet
metal screw with the sharp split tip and the swage form - basically
narrowing it down to the "tek" - but then he complained about it only
working if the "wood" was soft - - - -

I really think he needs to limit himself to socket head (allen) or
hex head screws - and eventhen he needs to use the correct size
driver.

Is that something you do on "la plage"? I did once interrupt a man and his wife (or bit on the side) while I was returning from a long walk along the Grand Canyon du Verdon. It had just got dark and they thought they had privacy. I came round the corner and saw her giving him a blowjob. She went bright red and he tried to cover his erection. I said "Oooh la la!" and walked past, then all three of us burst out laughing.

Actually there are at least four types of screw that cut their own
thread.
You have the self drilling that is a sheet metal screw with a drill
bit tip on the end that actually drills the pilot hole (Commonly
called Tek screws)
Then there is the self tapping sheet metal screw that just has a point
on the end and gnaws it's way in
The third is a "swage form" machine screw that goes into a pilot hole
and the tip is threaded all the way to the end with a slight taper and
a triangular shape until it gets to the body of the thread. It
actually swages threads
The 4th is a self tapping machine screw that has a tapered thread and
slits cut in it to take away the waste material just like a tap.
I have some of each type if anyone wants pictures.
From the complaint I had pretty much ruled out the common sheet
metal screw with the sharp split tip and the swage form - basically
narrowing it down to the "tek" - but then he complained about it only
working if the "wood" was soft - - - -

"Self drilling" is the term, and if they aren't Chinese junk they are

I really think he needs to limit himself to socket head (allen) or

In the 21st century, has someone not invented a screw thread which always aligns perfectly? Even a simple bottle top never goes on straight, you have to turn the bloody thing backwards to make it jump into place.
