Situation: using a screw gun to drive in the self-driving screws (the star shaped ones) horizontally, and sometimes at a difficult angle above my head. Hard to get good leverage like that. The driver starts spinning the screw but it doesn’t catch right away and then the screw jumps out and falls on the ground.
Has this happened to you? Is there a trick for that?
Get yourself a bit holder with a guide sleeve (https://www.dewalt.com/product/dwairdg/ir-drive-guide-w-2-impact-ready-bits). Works for any type of screw since you load it with whatever bit type you need for your screw (in your case, torx). If you’ve never seen one, you’ll love how easy it makes driving screws when they wanna fall off the bit/work.
Only real drawback is you don’t have precise control of the angle the screw starts at but it’s close enough for most work.
