![]() My conclusion is that If I had to have furnished my 3 domiciles with furniture that I made – I’d have been sitting on crates for a long time. At best, I can complete only a few pieces per year – but don’t work at it every day – and obviously not at all during periods of travel. For me, finishing was (and still is) the most time-consuming part of the process. What I made in the 1970’s was pretty simple and crude (bookcases, tables and cabinets) but I like to think that I’ve gotten better. Mostly I copy others designs- not having the talent to design from scratch. While I wasn’t expecting Sam Maloof quality from a production house like Drexel – I did expect better.įor many years now I have built furniture as a hobby. Some years later an edge of the top chipped exposing the underlying particle board. The gate-leg drop-leaf coffee table was advertised as solid wood construction. Quite a few years ago we bought a pretty pricey living room suite at a Drexel Heritage store. Check the size markings or look for the specific tip profile.īut if you ask me, get the Wera and stick it in your IKEA furniture assembly tool kit. Maybe you already have a Pozidriv #2 screwdriver bit somewhere. If you can find some, it’s a valid option.īut it’s a lot harder to misplace a standalone screwdriver than a 1/4″ insert bit that requires the use of a 1/4″ hex bit screwdriver handle. Pozidriv screwdriver bits are far less expensive than the Wera screwdriver. There were just one or two times when a Pozidriv #1 screwdriver fit better, and if I recall correctly, the screws were smaller than usual. To be clear, I used – or attempted to use – a Phillips #2 screwdriver for a while before switching to the proper Pozidriv screwdriver. What size do you need? Maybe 99.9% of all of the IKEA furniture I have ever assembled seemed to work really well with a Pozidriv #2 screwdriver or bit. It has small barbs jutting out from between the main cross components. This snugs it just fine without over torque and saves your hand from tightening 30+ screws with a standard screwdriver.And this is what a Pozidriv screwdriver bit tip looks like. It's very easy with a cordless to over torque a screw and crack that brittle plastic. Really helpful for old automotive trim that has been sunbaked. This just rides comfortably in a cargo pocket or carpenters pocket and is better for tight/cramped areas instead of a drill banging around. ![]() You set it down, forget you did that, go to reach for it and have to stop everything to go pick it up. Especially if working in tight spaces where it gets caught on stuff. Inevitably with a cordless you will get tired of it hanging off your belt or pants. I can just slip it into a pants pocket and drive a quick screw one handed to hold something in place. I prefer it vs a cordless drill in those instances. Perfect for snugging up screws on automotive trim or dash panels, wall outlets, handles, hinges.
