I will check it out mate. I run all colours of tools as other brands make certain things better than others. All my lighting is Milwaukee. My radio is Makita as they are the best radios. I will check that out mate 👍😄
I can’t see an impact driver being the problem of rounding screws. It’s the bit that’s the problem. I used a cheap PZ1 bit the other day to drill in a 30mm screw. The bit was nakered after 3 screws. The little heads on screws with PZ1 or PH1 usually churn up but it ended up that the screws were harder then the bit. I’d put it down to the bits you are using rather then the impact driver. Try a different brand of impact bits. As soon as I notice the bit is slipping or churning up screws wile using an impact driver the bit is in the bin.
Hi Jason,thanks. The bits I was using were wera diamond impact bits. I’ve used them for years in all my other impact drivers with no problems. I’m going to try other bits in there as I like the impact driver,just need to see what works best with it 👍
Are you sure you had the right sized torx head for those screws. I’m surprised none of the impacts drove into ash. Maybe pre drill 🤷♂️ But honestly buy a box of your normal sized woodscrews in torx and use the cheap free bit that comes with them - I’d be surprised if you ever have a cam out with them at all. They’re also reusable. I never throw away screws when I remove them as they can be used multiple times. Pozis tend to be single use then the head is useless.
Hi Simon 100% the right size torx bit. It shocked me to be honest that all 3 couldn’t drive more than 25mm deep. You’re not the only one to say to swap my screws to Torx. I know Screwfix sell turbo gold 2 which are Torx so I’m going to change to them. Maybe im being old school no going with the times not swapping to Torx. 👍😄
Great video Mark bought the Tid myself but haven’t used it much, got it as I have the festool batteries 👍💯
Thank you Michael 👍😄much better doing it like that if you already have the batteries in the first place 👍👍👍😄
You should get a makita t173d with the ring light, mate. All my stuff is festool apart from a few things, that being one of them & absolutely love it.

@markthomas5139 drill, 2 batteries and charger are cheaper than the tid18 by itself
@ thanks,I do own 18v Makita impact driver 6 year old. When it dies I will check out your recommendation 👍😄
Thank you 👍👍

@ I’d say try and mix it up with bits and screws. Sometimes the quality of the screws for no reason as well. 👍🏻
@ yes I will certainly be trying different variations of both 👍😄

So, nothing proved either way really 🤨🤣
Nope every screw gun exactly the same. None of them couldn’t drive the trick through ash lol 😂 👍
