The problem is when the tool is telling you the screw is tight enough but it's only halfway in. Or hasn't come out yet. That's where the stripping happens.
- scrumper 9y agoThere's a whole set of skills needed. If it's only half way in when it cams out, then you need a bigger pilot hole. If you're screwing into wood, another useful tip is to dip the screws in vaseline (petroleum jelly) first. If you're getting stuck removing the screw, wait 6 months for the humidity profile to change and the wood to open up. I'm being slightly factious and I share your pain. The vaseline tip is real though.
