Theres got to be a better way right? Someone should figure this out...

What happens here

The video begins with the presenter attempting to secure a metal structural connector, likely a hurricane clip or joist hanger, to a wooden rafter and ledger board. He uses a hammer to manually drive screws into the connector. He demonstrates that this method is extremely slow and labor-intensive, stating it would 'take all day' to complete the task using screws and a hammer, thereby highlighting its inefficiency for framing applications.

Goal: Demonstrate the inefficiency of manual screw fastening for structural connectors.
