Using Impact Drivers with Self Drilling Screws • Impact drivers are not designed for self drilling screws, particularly into steel • Tips of self drilling screws are damaged resulting in burn-out or will not drill properly • Can damage or break threads into steel purlins, resulting in severely reduced holding power • Magnetic sockets will damage and remove paint from the head of the screw
Impact Drivers cont; • Impact Drivers can crack or split the protective galvanised coating, resulting in premature corrosion of the screw. • Can overdrive fasteners particularly on pan fixed products, creating dishing around the fastener. • Do not have a clutch or depth locator to reduce overdriving problems. • Can break the heads on pan fixed screws. • Extremely noisy when used particularly on steel. • Require Hearing Protection when used.
Impact Drivers cont; • Hylton Parker Fasteners will NOT warranty any Roofing & Cladding fasteners installed with Impact Drivers. • All implied warranties or guarantees on H.P.F. fasteners are null and void if Impact Drivers are used for any installation.
