Don't treat viewers like idiots. That's not just a countersunk pilot hole, that screw has been in that same hole before. It's clearly requiring no effort whatsoever, and the bloody hole even LOOKS different to the one below it. PB make great tools, no question, but if you treat people like idiots, idiots are all you'll be left with.
I see your point, but I doubt anyone is being intentionally treated as an idiot. He just didn't specifically add the word tapped to countersunk pilot hole. A few seconds later he demonstrates a high torque application by continuing to drive the screw after it was flush, implying that what happened previously was not high torque which would mean the threads in the hole were already present. And a dead discussion has been resurrected!
@@goodygiggles5410 Why would anyone routinely drive wood screws into a pre-tapped hole? Sure, it happens, but it's not what people regularly do. My complaint is that the video tries to sell the product by saying "LOOK AT THAT SPEED!!!" while driving a screw into a hole that it has already been in. Why would anyone care about THE AMAZING SPEED of driving a screw with almost no torque requirement? - Also why would anyone defend that 7 years later? :) - The point is, it's hardly a product demonstration worthy of some kind of proclamation as to its speed. It's a screwdriver of basically regular shape. They've been the same for a thousand years, and the speed hasn't changed. When you make the choice to defend something like that, you're really setting yourself up. It's not defensible. You may have an impulse toward being forgiving and understanding, but you can't defend against something correct, by arguing that being correct doesn't matter. If you fake the conditions of a product demonstration, you're treating your viewers like fools.
I want 1.. How to order same as shown?
That's a cool screwdriver 👍
