What happens here
Once frame segments are assembled and aligned, permanently secure them using self-tapping metal screws. Use a cordless drill/driver equipped with an appropriate screwdriver bit (typically a Phillips or square drive). Drive screws through overlapping metal sections at connection points, ensuring a tight and secure fit. The video clearly shows a DeWalt cordless drill/driver being used to fasten screws into a metal stud corner joint.
Goal: Securely join all metal stud connections
