Only time I've seen a problem with it is when guys use their zillion-volt MegaTorque cordless drill to tighten the screws. I'll keep using my 10-in-1.

Question: Who is Richard Zulch? Waht is Zulch Labrotories, Inc.? My search turned up nada.

What's his angle?

As Long as there are suitable plastic connectors, I won't worry. And if I had to use the other....workmanship man, common sesne man.

Power tools have their place.
I don't see any need to use the drill for that.
I'll stick with the 10-in-1 also

When you guys get old and busted up like me, the drill can make you feel a lot younger. I just can't hold out like I used to. It is all in the skill of the drill.

I actually ran into this on a large resi I did several years ago.Had two shorts as a result of the NM connector & 12/3. Don't recall the brand but it had a little round dimple instead of the usual flat bar on the strap.I also did not use my Binford 88Volt Lithium/Plutonium cordless either!
PS that would be the chrome plated one :grin:

What about the Binford Ultra Mega Extreme Monster Excessive 999oz Hammer that pinches the wire under the staple?

Some people never learn what all those numbers mean on a cordless drill-AKA-CLUTCH

Some people never realize what the long skinny thing in their pouch is for... (Get you minds out of the gutter... A screw driver!!!!) Easy to use and the batteries never die... (Well almost never...)


Anyway.....
I wonder what kind of informal testing has been done to find out how long it takes to cut a cable in half with a set screw connector and an impact driver?????

I'm not as durable as I used to be. A long day of steadily turning a screwdriver and I am in some serious pain and cramps (Midol doesn't help:grin: ). The screwgun allows me to hold out longer. As with all things, you just have to be careful. I can damage wire with a screwdriver too if I'm not careful (well, maybe in the morning when my Wheaties are at full strength).
