I notice the gold-thumb-screw end has a hexagon-socket. (1) Can I use this tool to drive 'round-head' screws in hard-to reach places?

It is a quick release end that fits various bits for different types of screws/bolts. You need the correct bit for the screws you want to drive in/out.

The gold end accepts any screw bit you need, but you have to have a set of the bits to go with this. Straight, Phillips, Allen SAE and metric. This is an amazing tool that will help you very much. It has a sleeve on it that you can use to help guide it.

The socket is magnetized, so if you have the correct bit that fits the screw head, it should do the job.

Your question indicates total ignorance as to what this tool is. Therefore, DO NOT USE IT !!!

Must use the 1/4 inch hex head. I bought a set of hex drill bits and they work great. Took a little bit of getting used to as the driver does not bite down like a regular chuck would. But with the quick release right in front of your index finger the hex option is REALLY sweet!

No, I am not aware of being able to use these with round bits...only the lock-in hex style bits.

Don't know.This impact tool is very strong to much for use in small screw or bolt.

Most screwdrivers that accept hex bits will be able to use this. Some will be more successful than others. Usually the deeper socketed ones will provide a better grip and fit

Have you tried metric hex keys? Many of these tools have metric sized set screws.

you can use regular screws with the kreg jig, but the kreg screws have a sharpened point that facilitates burrowing into the second piece of wood to be joined (as the drilled hole does not extend into the second piece of wood). If you do use your own wood screws, I strongly suggest that you use square drive (as oppose to either phillips or slotted) screws, which provides for a much better interface between the screw head and the driver bit. Also, the R3 kit includes a long square drive bit.

No, definitely not. This tool is designed to drive wood screws and other small fasteners. It also works very well with 1/4" to 3/8" bolts.

They will work... they are not sized as a wrench or nut driver... they are round but are aggressively made with sharp points to grab even if the hole is completely rounded. The problem here is these are QUITE SMALL and are made for removing very small screws. You can see by the image that they resemble "jewelers" screwdrivers 2-56, maybe up to 4-40, 6-32 is too large. Anything larger than 4-40 is probably not going to work. These work best on screws that are rounded off because someone was using a metric in lieu of a standard and vice-versa and the screw is not really imbedded with rust or threadlock for 30 years etc. Just want to emphasize, they are for tiny screws.

The drive shaft of this drill is hex based only. If u have a hex attachment for a socket set you could probably use the drill for low torque type work, but otherwise this drill is primarily a power screwdriver.

While you can use it to drive screws it was not made for that purpose. This is an extremely powerful drill and even with a careful touch on the trigger you can easily spin the bit out of the screwhead. Phillips or Robertson (square) screw heads are easier to drive than a slot head which is nearly impossible. The reason seems to be the lack of any sort of rpm limiter on the trigger. With this drill rpm is solely determined by finger pressure on the trigger. (Many cordless drills have an rpm limiter in the form of a dial wheel that lets you set an rpm limit so that no matter how hard you pull the trigger the drill goes no faster than the limit you set). The lack of any sort of rpm limiter makes it difficult to drive screws consistently with this drill. Get an electric screwdriver with a clutch if you really want to drive screws consistently and well.

There is no bit driver on the tool. Unles you want to usr the plyers as a driver but it wont be very effective.

Not sure what it is you have. I have a 1/4" hex on my cordless driver. If your cordless screw driver does not have a chuck and it is 1/4", thes bits will work. You can go to Home Depot, Lowes or even Wal Mart and look at their 1/4" hex bits and see if you think they will fit in your screw driver then take it from there.

I personally would not use this driver for precision work. It works well driving screws in metal and wood, but it does not have the trigger control for prevision assembly. J.D.

This is not a powerhouse for driving screws. It works well with predrilled holes and screws less than an inch long. It takes a while to get used to the ergonomics. Its more of a "gadget" than a tool that can replace a standard cordless drill.

Standard 1/4 inch hex shank bit sets are all compatible. They are available from many manufacturers. You dont say if for drilling or driving screws, but this tool is best for driving screws requiring low torque, such as wallplate cover screws and such. Not for drilling.
