Buy it. Not FastenMaster

It's worth it. Work great in every way. Revelation after decades of screwing. Most importantly, you're not just buying construction screws like these, you're buying those very screws. Okay change the length as needed. But don't buy the ones from Lowe and elsewhere. I especially hate FastenMaster as they use a dumber driver. T40 is a great propulsion method, works great. I've never had a slip etc. I drill a gap hole in the front plate of two to secure it to ensure the screw pulls it together and then there is friction at the plate joint without counting on the screw force for all sizes leaving. But it's as advertised, even in crazy things like leafy trees you can go straight without a pilot.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Big and bulky
