JL:

I'm missing something on the "pre-cutting" of the screw head. Your
enlightenment
would be appreciated. Everything else concurs with my findings.
Thanks.

Odd question the way its phrased. Screws have different type of heads.
Each takes a different fitting for a power driven tool. Is the fitting the
tool?

Was bending, sometimes breaking, stainless steel deck screws with torx head.
Found some stainless steel screws with a hex head, same results.
Found some screws (unknown material, dull brass color) with a square head
fitting, came with bit. Didn't bend or break. Screwed in great.
