I just finished redoing my porch and go through a five pack of Dewalt double ended number two bits using a Craftsman profesional cordless drill,Now i drove about 200 three inch screw with no pilot holes.I guess my question is are here any superior bits for this kind of thing because once a bit spins contained by a screw its pretty much done with.

Thanks.

the pro's use square drive screws and bits, they don't ride up contained by the slot as easy as the phillips bits do. you only want to be slightly off center as you drive the screw to be making less than full contact to start stripping the screw. also, it could be that you used a dual drive screw, call something like; a robinson, or robertson drive. they can be driven with any a phillips, or square drive, but do neither, well. that's my guess as to why you had a firm time and went thru all your bits. right luck, hope this helped.

Square drive. I don't use Phillips anymore for just that principle. Did you know? Phillips screws/drivers were INTENTIONALLY designed to slip out?

Anyhoo, try these. Specifically, if you're using dimensional lumber, try their "Promax". They have vast threads for softwoods, a self-drilling tip, and the overall length and length of the threaded portion are specifically designed for common lumber. I love them.

Anyway, unless you are exactly crinkly up with screw, a 3 inch screw will cause so much resistance that you will credible have the screw bit skip., and yes it usually ruins the screw.

The only piece you can do is drill pilot holes to decrease the resistance.

Answers:    Dewalt is pretty good talent, there's no way you should have worn out five bits doing what you did. You be probably not pushing hard enough on the drill so the bit spun within the screw heads which can thrash a bit pretty fast, not to mention the screw head. But don't blame yourself; pushing hard on a Phillips is difficult. They are better suited to electronics or drywall where you don't necessitate to push. Next time, use a square bit which is what a Robertson is called in the US. There be patent difficulties since the Robertson was invented within Canada. You should be able to find square head screw these days since Americans are starting to catch on that they're better. They work far better than Phillips when you stipulation to apply a little force to get the screw in, and the bit will hold a screw in it while you achieve what you're screwing into ready near your other hand. If your drill has a torque adjustment, use it, it can prevent overdriving and stripping.
