My screwdriver is very inconsistent. It drives a a few strips of screws, then won't screw all the way in and is very slow. Any ideas?

The only time I've experienced this is when the toggle switch used to select forward or revers is kind of stuck between forward and reverse. Happens once and a while especially screwing into ceiling when my had accidentally rests on the toggle switch.

mine seems ok. Sometimes you have to get a good strait angle on it and as with any phillips head screws you need to get a good body angle on it so you can put some weight into it. It's true with any screw gun if you are reaching up or over where you can't get any weight on it , it will have trouble. I also have a regular drill driver (Bosh or Dewalt 18 volt) I use for those screws where I can't get a good angle. Ron

I had the same problem. What I found was it has to be perfectly straight in line and go slow. If I went to fast I had to use another drill to drive the screws all the way in. Also the drill bit does not always stay locked into place on mine.

Never used it to drive screws. We use an 1/4" inpact driver for phillips head screws. Most likely the force would be too much for the screws and would snap them off as well as needing an adaptor to get to a 1/4 inch drive.

I would contact manufacturer and explain problem. I have done this several times over the years with different itemsand often times a replacement is sent. Hope it works this time for you as this is a very handy tool!!!

A small phillips head screwdriver. If that doesnt work you may have a stripped screw.

T6. I got a precision T6 screwdriver from menards. This is important: They use LOC-TITE on the screws at the factory. The strong kind. Use heat to weaken the bond before trying to remove the screws or you'll just strip the screws and damage the T6 screwdriver. Trust me. Use a hair dryer or a lighter or a soldering iron. Good Luck-Dave

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off. My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

I just read John's answer. He explained it better than I can. It's my go-to around the house screwdriver, I keep in the the "junk drawer."

Hi Justin, I have one of these gadgets but once I installed it and used it, it worked fine and I have not had any issues with the driver, I wish I could be of more help, good luck

I did respond but had a small error in my response. It uses a larger screwdriver if available. Most people have a #2 but a #3 is the size of the screw heads, however a #2 should do the job but may slip out occasionally. There are 5 screws. Put the center one in first loosely. Then install the remaining four loosely. tighten the center one then the four others alternately until you have them snugged down. Tighten the center firmly then the other 4 firmly going back around to insure that they are all tight. Upright it and use it and i expect you will like it like i like mine. Jimmy

Hmmm. I have had to use a screw driver as well, but with success. So, my only advice is to try again with the screw driver because the lid is very tight. Good luck.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

not sure which problems you're referring to, but I've had a few. one of the more irritating was they sent the wrong replacement even when I had provided the correct part number. the 1st correct replacement they sent was defective. But I love the drill/driver....

I've had a similar problem. However, I realized that i wasn't pushing the screwdrivers down far enough into the handles after use. That's the only time that I experienced an issue with the pliers getting caught or stuck on the screw drivers.

If you haven't stripped them all try threading them completely then removing and putting on table. They aren't drilled well. If it's stripped completely maybe try a larger screw?
