Construction Tip - Bit for Driving Long Dry-wall-type Screws

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

If you are like me, when you use the long dry-wall-type screws you either come up short and route out the phillips slots or countersink the head into soft wood beyond sight. Out of curiousity I used a bit which is designed for dry wall. It has a phillips head recessed within a cone. Purpose is for the dry wall screws heads to depress the paper, but not tear it. Works well on longer screws also in that the screw head stops at the wood surface.
