Obvious winner. At what point does it even matter? 🤔 #framing #carpentry #testing

What happens here

The video begins by demonstrating the installation of two common fasteners into a single wooden board. First, a screw is quickly and efficiently driven into the wood using a Makita impact driver. Immediately following, a nail is hammered into the same board, placed beside the screw, using a red Craftsman claw hammer. These two fasteners are prepared side-by-side to allow for a direct comparison of their removal difficulty.

Goal: Prepare the screw and nail for the removal test.
