Troubleshooting
Screw is difficult to drive in.
Ensure you are using the correct TORX or Hexagonal bit. Apply steady pressure while driving the screw. If the timber is particularly hard, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole.
Screw head is stripping.
Reduce the driving speed or torque of your drill. Ensure the driver bit is fully engaged with the screw head. If the screw is damaged, replace it.
