I bought a chinning bar that attaches to a door frame, obviously i need to screw in the 'objects' that hold the bar, but do not know which tool would be best for it ??
-- putting holes/screws into a metal door frame , best tool ?? --

A metal door frame? Then you will need a drill and some self tapping screws. If it is 4 screws on each side, maybe some size 8 or 10 screws and a smaller pilot drill, perhaps a size 8. The length of the screws will depend on the thickness of the fixings plus some to go through the frame but not too long or they will hit the wall or whatever is behind it. Might be a good idea to take the thing to the diy shop and check if those screws will go through it's holes ok. Whatecer thickness screws will have to go through that, but the holes in the frame to fix into must be a bit smaller for the self tappers to grip into. HTH LOL
