I have a Craftsman Pro 12V and it wouldn't drive the 1-1/4" screws flush
into the Hardibacker board I was using to set my bathroom tile onto. I
borrowed a friend's DeWalt and had no problems. And yes, I was using the
Lo Speed (Hi Torque) speed setting.
I generally like the Craftsman driver fine and this is the first time I've
had a problem with it. The batteries seem to die a bit faster now (1.5
years old) but that's to be expected. I just sprung $10 for a Harbor
Freight 12V (and doubled the price by getting a keyless chuck as well :-)
but don't expect it to be more than a sit on the workbench and get abused tool.
