Now all my projects will be slightly more bling

    I find that the heads of the new “blingy” screws shear off easily. As in, the head fully comes off leaving the shaft behind.

      This person uses an impact driver for every screw.

        Alternative, they are not properly using the torque selector!

        Yeah, my dad is too impatient to use proper settings or tools. Plus, I think he just likes the loud sound of the impact driver. But yeah, he usually either drives the screws in too far, strips them, or shears them. I try to be involved any time he is doing a project and “accidentally” bring him the “wrong tool” from what he asked for, hoping he will just use the objectively correct tool I brought instead of what he wanted. He usually does.

          Needs some Deckmate screws.

          1. Thick
          2. Torx so really hard to strip
          3. powder coated and guaranteed for life (whatever that means).
          4. self drilling too so no predrills most of the time.
