Metal framing is interesting, with a lot of different tools, and screws.  Metal can be different gauges/thickness.  Mechanical contractors, electrical, plumbing, etc. use a stud punch, which speeds additional holes.  There are also, an assortment of plastic bushing, for the holes, to eliminate the effects, of sharp metal edges, on non-metallic sheath wire, or Pecks Plumbing.

Vise-grip, C-clamps are used to position metal boxes, to metal studs, before screws are applied.   You can do metal studs with a drill/driver.   A good driver, and the right screws, work best.

Have fun, IMO, Mike CT.  Decent pair of gloves, and a box of band-aids, need to be added to your tool box.   Cutting metal studs is another discussion.
