Installing self-drilling screws with cordless tools

Problem: Installing self-drilling screws with cordless tools has been problematic, because the cordless drill-drivers on the market do not have sufficient speed or torque for the screw to drill its own hole in metal and seat properly.

Solution: Many Tanner customers use Makita® cordless impact drivers, which are specifically designed to install self-drilling and other types of self-tapping screws in one fast, easy, operation. Makita® distributes their cordless impact drivers in the new 18V Lithium Ion cordless tool line as well as standard 12V and 14V products.
