These Phillips screwdrivers SUCK!

[Bill Douglas]

I wish I could be Robertson/square head drywall screws.

As far as Philips number 2 power bits go, I always buy Irwin. they seem to fit better and don't round off.

I think you would pull the sucker all the way to the stud.

So, to save the rest of us from having to watch him drive a zillion screws, which bit won?

Probably Milwaukee Shock Wave or Wiha. But he doesn't directly answer the question...

He's a bit over the top, but he usually does very well thought out and detailed tests.

Drywall guns are made so the bit slips out when the screw hits the right depth. Robertson/square head would not slip out.

You can fix a SAAB with just a set of Torx drivers.

Good stuff

My drywall gun has a torque adjustment so it wouldn't go too deep anyway. Plus I watch how deep it's going in. Why I'd like large head, robertson fitting drywall screws, is because I'm often holding the sheet of drywall up with one hand and balancing the screw on the end of the bit with the other hand. Squarehead/Robertson don't fall off like that and even stay on horizontally.

You can also achieve the same thing (holding a screw) with a magnetic bit. Ain't got one? Get a magnet and magnetize the one you got....

Won't work! In the Southern Hemisphere magnets repel metal screws.

suffering for decades, rather than succumb to a lowly Canadian invention - the Robertson screw.
