You know Ken. I could use my Porter Cable cordless drill/driver. It has adjustable torque settings. Thanks for your suggestions!

<p>Without an adjustable torque setting, stripping or over-driving will occur.</p>
<p></p>
<p>i'd suggest installing and seating the screws by hand, using a hand controlled driver, small ratcheting tool, or the like. The opposite end of the square-tipped tool will fit into a 1/4'' hex driver.</p>

I drill the holes with a Dewalt corded drill. I set the screws with a cordless porter cable driver. I thought if I went to a pneumatic driver I could get better control and not overdrive as much. The kreg driver had a video that indicated it would stop after depth reached.

<p>David,</p>
<p>Without any adjustment feature, you'll have problems.</p>
<p>Some of those drywall drivers output is like 120 in lbs torque.</p>
<p>Are you using it to drive 5'' lag screws into landscape timbers?</p>
<p></p>
<p>For driving screws, the least expensive and reliable cordless driver is the Ryobi 18V model.</p>
<p>Does a great job for the money.</p>
<p>I've used 3 separate ones for quite awhile, and never experienced any issues.</p>
<p>This tool is also suitable for drilling, but…</p>

Thanks Ken. I have a Porter Cable driver that works well. It just doesn't have any adjustment capabilities; just have to rely on feel. I've run several screws through the wood. Looking for better control.

<p>Also, that screw gun can be used for drilling the pocket holes.</p>
<p>The gun features a quick-change bit---</p>
<p>change from drill to drive in a couple seconds.</p>
<p>Also it has an integral reversing feature.</p>

<p>the Keg screw gun needs 16cfm @ 90psi.</p>
<p>It's like a typical drywall air-driven screw gun.</p>

<p><span>David, </span></p>
<p><span>I've used pneumatic screw guns, in the past, for many fastening tasks.</span></p>
<p><span>They worked very well and were the tool of choice for driving threaded fasteners.</span></p>
<p><span>The pressure had to be monitored and constantly adjusted, so as to obtain the desired torque.</span></p>
<p><span>When the pressure dropped, the fastener wasn't properly seated.</span></p>
<p><span>You have to wait for the pressure to build up again, then proceed.…</span></p>

<p><span>When the pressure dropped, the fastener wasn't properly seated.</span></p>
<p><span>You have to wait for the pressure to build up again, then proceed. </span></p>
<p><span>Very large air pressure storage containers were needed---</span></p>
<p><span>not suitable for mobility. A 20gal capacity tank is needed for continuous duty. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>We had and also used corded drivers; however they needed to be kept locked-up---</span></p>
<p><span>dam thieves would walk off with them.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Pneumatic screw guns are being replaced by the more favored cordless drivers.</p>
<p><span>These drivers feature a torque adjustment and provide more consistent torque, at a specific setting.</span></p>
<p><span>Most are heavier than a 2.5lb drywall screw driver.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>The Milw M12 driver is very light weight. I've used </span>them nearly all day long, and my arms don't get tired. </p>
<p>TIP: use a holster or rig up a sling, akin to a sling on an AR15, or the like.</p>
<p>You don't have to worry about dropping it---</p>
<p>it's always in an at-the-ready location.</p>
