... No la.. I am not a scout, just remembered what I learned in history text book, many-many years ago.

That just demonstrate that misuse of power tools can be very dangerous and hazardous. I hope I can show something new next week. No promises... Stay tuned.

Thanks for the suggestion. That is 'self tapping screw', which creates screw thread when we driving it into a pre-drilled hole. THe drilled hole should be a bit smaller than the screw size. Normally a thread maker tool needed to make the thread, but this self tapping screw can be used without using that thool.

I hope I can find few of it in hardware shop. I don't have steel bars, but, I think it can use is to attach something to somthing in future.


Thank you.

okie not sure what the proper name was...

is there self tapping screw for concrete ? lol , lazy wan drill hole put in the wood/plastic then attach the screw

Yes, it is... commercial name is TAPCON .. I already asked this type of screw at local hardware shop... but, they also seem 'blur' about it.

Impact Driver actually can help you to screw in a screw faster especially in hard wood and steel.

The impact drive act like a hammer hammering the screwdriver to turn the screw in. During screwing screw in hard wood, we normally face the the philips screw head worn and we need to use plier to take it out. Sometime , harder wood will make the screw head break in to two parts. If you use impact driver then really seldom have this kind of problem anymore.


Bosch GDR10.8V really best " screwdriver " I had. I bought it since last year July and it was my daily tools. This model is Generation Two already and this tools made in Malaysia and we should support Malaysia Product . Haha

It really small in size, light in weight and but once it do it job , it work like charm.

But cons of this tools is it only comes with one battery.


Generation One :
Generation Two :


I have a lot of self tapping screw and it most common used in steel. Last time , we need to use drill bit to drill a hole and then just screw it .

Any one want me to show how it work ? I also have other tools to show, anyone want to see ?

just post.. it la sure got ppl will appreciate it one

if can also try the tapcon screws.. no need use the plastic/wood thinggy already

Yalah. You're not the only one getting confused.
So similar subject.

yeah mine is gdr10.8 mk2 and its made in malaysia. only come with one batt tho but i think is sufficient for diy users. now i am looking for their driver heads. anyone try kennedy brand before here???

Can we use an impact driver for drilling?
I think I saw a special drill kit for use on an impact driver.
Anyone try it?

is there any chuck to convert impact driver to drill? chuck to hold the bits. i think having separate drill is better to prolong the life of equipment
