If yer talkin' battery powered, get an impact driver/drill.

I made the mistake of buying an 18V DeWalt battery drill thinking it
would be enough. Turns out I hadda pre-drill screw holes if I used
this drill to drive screws like 3-1/2" deck screws. I later learned
an impact drill/driver would drive a deck screw w/o pre-drilling. I
now have an old used 12V Hitachi impact/driver drill that does what my
DeWalt could never do ....plus!, it will also drill!

I've got some old cow teat syringes (plastic, about 5CC)
which I load with vaseline or marine grease. Squirt a bit
into the pilot hole, and that makes life a lot smoother.

I'd be concerned about needing to remove the screws later,
and them being in too tightly.
