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?



Hi,

I think your drill is not strong enough? It is one shot deal without

pause once you start. I used quite an amount of PT planks for our front

and rear deck at our cabin. . Make sure battery is fully charged. Zap,

zap... screw goes down so effortlessly. When wood is very dry it needs

more torque for sure. Make sure Robertson or Phillips bit is fresh one.

Can you tell me how one can tell if a cordless drill is not strong enough, other than a weak battery? BTW, this one takes the 18v lithium battery
