If you don't drill a pilot hole through the first piece of wood, the

Whack em in with enough force and the thread strips on the first bit
and the second bit pulls in quite nicely. Sounds like you are being
too gentle!



My poor old 9.6V battery drill obviously isn't up to the job ;-(

Try it with a decent 18V impact driver or combi/drill driver and it just
keeps turning until something gives... usually the wood!
