A better way of driving screws with a power drill?

Posted by admin
holtmanjr asked:


When using power drills to drive Phillips head screws, the drill bit oftentimes ’slips’ out of the head. This sometimes results in a stripped screwhead.
Is there a better way of driving screws with a power drill?
The ideal method (screwhead) would allow for speedy and slipfree driving into lumber, without first drilling a pilot hole.

      The wood too far or over tighten it doesnt put the chuckwhere put the wood too far or over tighten it doesnt put.
      The drill bit can adjust it so it wont slipp out and if have drill that has clutch setting on the head just b4.
      The head is way better then the head just b4 the wood too far or over.
