One of the best things to turn in tapcons is a brace with appropriate

That's particulatry important with a threshold because if you torque too
much you are going to deform the (probably) hollow threshold (unless
it has
a support under it).


I'm old enough to know what is a "bit brace". Don't
have one, and not one with phillips tip. The drill
driver on slow, bees wax, and new tip will maybe do.




It does not actually have to be bees wax...and old candle or a bar of
soap will do just fine.
