Great video.
I just spent 5 mins watching videos which didn't tell me the why and what of pilot screws.
You guts were clear and to the point while giving me the info.
Thanks!

OMG thank you for posting this! I'm trying to do handy type things around my house and it's so hard to find simple tutorials for some stuff. I pulled out the case with drill bits in it to make my pilot hole just now and felt so overwhelmed and worried that I didn't know how to anchor the drill bit from the way I was guessing. I hope you have tonnes more videos and I can watch them all and feel less dumb.

It's also really difficult to drive a screw into hardwood when the drill is in reverse...

Are pilot holes in stairways necessary for speaker wire hiding or can one just hide them under the carpet?

I’m creating a rectangle shape in semi thick mdf and was told to do a pilot hole in every corner of the rectangle shape. I’m unsure how to do this without splitting the particle board? Can you recommend the best way?

What is the shank of the screw? Had to go to new browser window to look that up...

I skipped to 1:50 and you didn't mention what diameter bit to use.

Looks like that drill battery needs a recharge
