Theres got to be an easier way!

[PJ Tiling]

Maybe this should be in tiling tools???.....

Had one of those day's today, spent the day on my hands and knees screwing down 26m2 of 20mm ply. Literally took me all day, my Makita had smoke coming off it by the end by the end of it. Got me thinking theres got to be an easier way of....um....screwing!

What do you guy's use?

 

[DHTiling]

You could use a screw gun..

 

[Dan]

The drill-driver is the easy way, a screw driver is the hard way, imagine doing it with your hands!

Elbow grease! Where do you get/need 20mm plywood.

I have one of these:

Quik Drive® Auto-Feed Screw Driving Systems

It is truly amazing, screws are expensive but the time saving is unreal. There is a clip on there racing a guy with a DeWalt impact driver, its no contest.

Compressor and a staple gun, its what the amtico/karndean boys use, and fortunately one of my mates does amtico! Plug it in, load the gun and fire away!

Dave - Ooooh new tools that looks like a beast!

Chris- lol

TJ - that was a typo, I was talking to the wife whilst typing. It was 18mm ply for a floating kitchen floor

 

[PJ Tiling]

Scottley - who supplies those? Did you get yours from the states or a UK supplier?

Apprentice........ And if he's been annoying me, I make him do a few with a screwdriver.
