Was shown how to use it effectively, and improved my efficiency by more than double on the task it's good for
- genewitch 5y agoOut of curiosity, was it a variable speed oscillating tool?
- warrenm 5y agoNo, it was my impact drill I was under the fallacious understanding you only needed an impact drill if you were trying to remove really stuck-on nuts/bolts (like rusted lug nuts) As it turns out ... they're AMAZING for driving deck and roofing screws :)
- genewitch 5y agoOh, cool, 100% agree, too! I switched to using star or square drive screws for putting the 1x4s on porches and stuff, that coupled with even a cheap impact driver means no more snapped screw heads, and i usually don't have to use the countersink bit i have. I wonder if your logic was because of the larger pneumatic "tire gun" style things. Anyhow, sorry for going off topic!

No apologies needed :) And yes - the only impact drills I'd ever seen were pneumatic, so I made the (wrong, but (hopefully) understandable) jump that the battery-operated one was for the same type of work :)
