How does Harbor Freight tools rate compared to Home depot tools ?
I am currently looking for a coordless drill driver capable of driving a
3"
screw into a 2" x 4" stud.
Any recomendations appreciated.



Don't even think about trying to drive long screws with a cordless
drill. You need an impact driver. I'm on my third year with a Makita
and typically drive up to 4" construction screws. Hardly anyone uses
Philips screws anymore. Robertson square drive are OK, but for day in
day out drive 'em flush and fast, absolutely nothing beats Torx or
'star' drive. Buy a few and try them out (Menards features them) and
you'll never go back. Any Li-ion type from 12 to 18 volts should work
for you in a DIY setting.

Say what? Get one of the sleeve extensions, a good bit, and put your
shoulder into it.

*That's the difference with an impact driver Steve. You don't have to "Put
your shoulder into it". The driver does all of the work and is much lighter
than an 18 volt drill. I was using my drill for screwing until one of my
customers let me use his impact driver. I went out and bought my own the
following week and have no regrets.
