I can't recall recommending an impact driver for such a task. I've used
one to get rusted in screws out of oak.

You're only trying to hold plywood to a metal frame WTF do you need an
impact driver for?

Are you sure you guys are talking about the same tool?

Yes i meant about using an impact screwdiver,
like the blue battery one in the picture,
it drives screws into oak.

But would it be suitable for driving self tapping screws into metal
framework?
Or is there a reason to use a electric drill on low torque setting?
