Default Toenailing thru pressure wood

Anthony wrote:
I'm trying to toenail a couple of galvanized 2 screws. I am familiar with
the process of sliding soap on the threads to make it easier to screw
them in. I get thru with the points showing through but having resistance
when penetrating the side pressure wood that I want to connect them to.
The cordless drill just can't take it. I went as far as making a mark
where it would enter if there were no resistance, with a drill bit. That
didn't work... cause now, the top part of the screw met resistance. Is
there a way that I could get this done without any snags?


Ok, just off the top of my head...get a better cordless drill.

I'm have troubling picturing any problem with what you are trying to do
(since you didn't post a picture) but I can't think of a reason why you
would be having trouble, other than a drill with not enough power.

(Just yesterday I watched a guy struggling to enlarge a 3/8" hole in a 3/8€
steel plate with a HF cordless drill. He needed a half inch hole. Must have
taken him 15 minutes and half a can of PB Blaster. Wrong tool and wrong
lubricant. What can I say...)
