I use the right size driver bit, I try pushing as hard as humanly possible into the screw head, I drill a pilot hole first, I try doing it in short bursts..

and yet somehow I have 5 fucking driver bits in the last month - all stripped to shit from slipping over the screw head. Am I retarded?

It doesn't help that they're all made of cheap Chinese shit metal. Maybe I need some higher carbon bits.

Thanks, this is good advice - I'll try it.

If you don’t have an impact driver wait until Father’s Day, they’ll go on sale. Can usually pick up a drill driver kit fairly cheap.
