  To reduce the chance of overdriving or stripping screws, try the Dimpler screw depth driver. The fitting offers an automatic clutch design and precise countersink depth for consistent, uniform results. When the screw reaches the pre-set depth, the clutch releases to eliminate over-driving. This preserves the face of the screwed materials, minimizes pop-ups, and protectes against drill motor burn-out. The Dimpler uses standard No. 2 driving bits that can be easily replaced. A simple reversible option allows for quick removal of screws. 800.742.3869. www.vermontamerican.com.
