The right tool. The right bit. The right result.
Are your screws stripping? Are your bits breaking? If your bits and fasteners are falling apart—it’s likely your set up. The second step to mastering your fasteners is sharpening your approach to the tools that drive them.
In episode four of the Screw 101 series, Brent Hodgkins helps explain the different bit sizes from T-10 to T-40. Most importantly, he’ll show you how to use a drill, versus an impact driver, and the best ways to adjust your torque setting to avoid project failure.
Different materials require specific drilling speeds and torque. Ensuring accuracy and avoiding damage involves understanding the products you’re using and setting up those materials correctly. Remember, the set up of an application is just as important as the parts of a screw!
