Some say the camming out was not intentional. I think it was. Ford wanted workers to use power tools, and overtorquing could ruin a hole in sheet metal or wood. I'm not sure if the standard drywall screw is Phillips. If it is, maybe it's because camming out can prevent damage.

Camming out with Philips when installing is one thing, but having it happen when trying to remove the fastener can leave you, pardon the expression, "screwed"

I've had great luck with this Milwaukee impact driver. It's never failed to remove any type fastener with a stripped head.

Remember these? They didn't always work for me. I bought an electric impact driver as an easy way to remove a blade under a mower up on ramps. I don't use it.

My usual go-tos are a Craftsman #2 Phillips with an 8" shaft and an unlabeled Klein with a 7" shaft. I like to put a palm on the end of a screwdriver handle to maintain pressure and keep the shaft straight as I turn with the other hand, and it works better with a longer shaft. All Klein crosshead screwdrivers seem to be advertised as Phillips, but this one clearly isn't, and it works better with most screws. If I really need a good fit, I have more than one cheap bit set from Taiwan labeled either PH or PZ. Those are the two DIN/ISO starndards

Very spiffy. And I love that you can store the bits in the handle.

this guy is even better. but I was afraid it would nto fit where I needed it to without always having to reach for an extension. Plus I dont use sockets that much.

I have both of those impact wrenches, but I don't need them at the shop.
