Troubleshooting
Screw head stripping during installation.
Reduce the drill speed and apply steady pressure. Use the correct size and type of screwdriver bit. Consider pre-drilling a pilot hole if working with hard materials.
Screw not going in straight.
Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface. Use a screw starter to guide the screw, or start the screw by hand before using the drill.
Screw not holding the plasterboard securely.
Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the plasterboard and the depth of the studs or frame. Make sure the screw is driven into the stud or frame and not just the plasterboard.
