<p>I use a 12 volt impact driver for pine and, like others have said, I watch the turning speed and listen for the ratchet sound before I ease off on the trigger. The 12V driver is tiny and very light and it is one of my most treasured tools.</p>

<p>A comment about the use of glue. Sure its a great indicator of the closing of the joint. However, it's main use is for additional strength particularly where the product is subject to creep - such as chairs, beds and items taking a daily battering. Why? Because the screw is nothing more than a circular wedge and frequent movement will work it loose. Glue stops that. I think Kreg should consider emphasising this point.</p> Just go slow on trigger until…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2012-02-01:2900167:Comment:4007572012-02-01T16:57:26.556ZJens Jensenhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/JensJensen

<p>I use De Walt impact and the trick I learned is listen to the ratcheting it just has a different sound when driving and reaching the point of setting screw,It is hard to explain but if you get used to it it is very easy tool to use</p>

<p>Definitely you can strip out a pocket screw with an impact driver. You can even bust screws if they don't strip first. A better tool for driving pocket screws is a DRILL - DRIVER with an adjustable torque setting, but without one of them, your way of watching glue squeeze out is a good one!</p>
