I need some 2.5" Kreg screws for my bench project. I wanted to see if Lowe's
carried them, so I went to their website.

They have them and on the page for the product I found this:

That's a Ridgid impact driver.

Now I know that Home Depot isn't the only place that sells Ridgid tools, but
I'm pretty sure that 1 - Lowe's doesn't and 2 - when many people think Ridgid,
they think Home Depot.

No Lowes sell Rigid, and Craftsman.


I'm pretty sure Lowes doesn't sell Ridgid tools.

If you might be able to find Ridgid plumbing tools at some Lowes
somewhere, they certainly won't be selling any battery driver type
tools, which is the context of his post.



Not only that, but I don't I'd use an impact driver on pocket screws.

I know that some people do, but I like to be able to reduce the torque on
a regular drill/driver so I don't have to worry about stripping out the
hole.

That one looks like my 18V no-variable-speed, no-variable-torque tool.
Sure wouldn't be my first choice, but then again, I've never driven
2.5" Kreg screws into 1.5" poplar. I'll let you tomorrow after I screw
the seat together. ;-)


Use low torque, or mabye even try a hand driver. Might be real easy to
split the poplar, that is based on driving a pocket screw way to far
and screwing it up.


Do you read posts before you respond?


The evidence is clear that he READS them before responding, but
obviously DOES NOT UNDERSTAND them.
