sheet metal screws

Pierce their own holes

Sheet metal screws are fasteners with sharp threads designed to cut into thin metal, plastic, or other materials without requiring a pre-threaded hole.

The threads run the full length of the shank, and the pointed tip allows the screw to pierce and grip sheet material directly: Use sheet metal screws to attach the ductwork.
