Yes, my dad taught me that one for driving screws by hand. I didn't
think of using it for a power driver.
It seems to me (scratching his head) that contractors, who use a lot of
screws, wouldn't have time for soaping the screws. Perhaps they don't
try to drive 4" screws either! I'll bet the square drive screws,
mentioned by a few, are the sort of contractor secret I'm looking for.

Old trick taught to me by my mother of all people....
soap up the screw. She used to drive it into a bar of dial, but later in
life has taken to dipping it in liquid detergent. Take care to keep the
head dry though.
