I see lots of ads on TV for cordless drills. In almost every case, they
are
chucked up to a simple #2 Phillips bit. Why is that? Don't they know
about
all the quick change extensions? I have used just a bit in a pinch, but
many times, the chuck runs into the wood or something else. Plus there is
no slider to hold the screws until they get started. Do you use an
extension or not? I almost always do.

On those few times where I use a Phillips and am not installing drywall, I
use a 6" shaft. For Drywall I use a 2" dimpler bit.

99% of the screws, toggles or tapcons that I install are 1/4 hex head and I
use a 6" shaft for those also to protect the brackets.

Currently I just chuck them in the chuck. Next drill, if there is one will
have a dedicated quick change for 1/4 hex shaft.

Why do the watches for sale in magazines always read 10 minutes past
ten?

Because that gives the hands a pleasing symmetrical look, as does 20
minutes after eight.
