How to install a metal roof screw

This video quickly shows the proper method of installing a metal roof screw and what will happen if you over tighten it.

Did my roof with the torque set on my drill. You still have to be attentive because the density of the wood changes and screws can be left proud or washers mashed down.

I see these have a grove on the tip of the screw, are they also self tapping screws? (FIY, It would have been a nice touch to have shown that they also self drill through metal, if they do that, that is)

Do you also have to cover/fill the screw hole with anything? Or is the screw alone enough?

[waiwaieh]

Say that I over screwed it. Can I really go back, replace the screw with another one, and screw in the same hole with the new screw?

How long you think that rubber grommet will last?

If you don't mind the extra hassle, is there any reason not to put a dab of silicone or some other caulk on each screw before you install it? It seems like this could greatly extend the life of the screws.

if you can see the rubber after its screwed down it will deteriorate, use a screw that completely covers the screw, thry cost more but last forever not a couple years, your type screw could be used on siding but not roof

Dont bother, buy a standing seam metal roof that will never have leaks in the screw holes

[cederbergfitness]

its a mandatory feature nothing to do with the actual screw, anyone using this tool and that screw would know that
