What happens here

Using an impact driver equipped with a specialized driver bit that features a depth-setting collar, drive the composite deck screw into the decking material. The collar on the bit ensures the screw is driven to the exact depth, creating a perfectly countersunk hole ready for the matching plug. This securely fastens the decking board while preparing the surface for concealment.

Goal: Create a pilot hole and anchor the decking board
