Screwdrivers are tools used for driving screws into walls or ceilings during construction, particularly when attaching boards like gypsum boards.
They ensure secure attachment of the target object by properly tightening screws, making them essential for construction tasks where surface integrity is crucial.
Screwdrivers operate by rotating only when the bit is pressed against a surface. Rotation ceases once the rubber cap at the tip contacts the board, setting the screw at the optimal depth.
Prior to use, screws are loaded into the screwdriver. When the switch is on, pressing the tip against a board activates the screwdriver to drive the screw. The rotation stops when the rubber cap touches the board. Adjust the screw length and depth of insertion based on the board's thickness before beginning work.
Consider the power source and features of a screwdriver based on the intended environment and application. Screwdrivers are available with air or electric power sources.
Pneumatic screwdrivers require an air compressor for operation. They are smaller and less tiring for extended use than electric types, as they don’t have a motor.
Electric screwdrivers come in corded and cordless varieties. Corded models have a limited range but are lighter and smaller, while cordless models offer more freedom of movement but are heavier and less ideal for prolonged use due to the battery.
Auto-feed screwdrivers, which load connected screws, are suitable for tasks that require driving many screws continuously.
The most common screw sizes for use with screwdrivers are M5 and M6. Select a screwdriver based on the screw size you intend to use.
