My neighbor gave me this play set for the kid , I had to redo the cross piece for the swings to attach . I think I've been using the ones from Valu ,so probably Stanley or some shit . I read a review that said the Bosch one and the dewalt ones were the ones to get . Still got a camo tarp for the top , a rock wall to climb in and looking for a slide . It's weird the shit you end up working on when you have kids.
The Shop
Phillips, yuck.
Night and day difference when you use the impact vs drill driver.
Pit Row
OK, so I've spent years in the shop making 20 chairs a day, 100 screws per chair. I've done a lot of screwing around. My favorite screw gun is a Milwaukee. They are the fastest, lightest,slimmest, most durable. At least they were. I don't know about now they manufacture from China.
It all depends on what the screw is made out of, stainless, dacrotized, galvanized, length and number size. I find square head to be the best, especially on a stainless steel screw.
As far as the tip of the gun, there is no "greatest tip ever" available on the market. Some of the best things you can do is just modify your own. For most people shorter is better. One trick is to take the shit off the gun that comes with it like the depth stop and toss it, but also pull the factory tip out of it and buy a 1/4 or a hex bolt driver at the hardware store. You can find one that will snap right into your screw gun and it will only stick out the end about a 1/2" You can then insert your tip directly into that. If you were doing a big project, like a whole deck or something like that, magnetic holding is not going to work for long. Don't be afraid to take some duck tape, put it in strips and use it to secure the bit. I have often taken a piece of tape, put on the bit itself and jammed it into the concrete to wedge it in. It works.
@OP Buy a torx bit and 3” screws and you won’t regret it. Using a Phillips bit and drywall screws are fine for small projects, but I wouldn’t use them on anything structural. Get a pail of deck screws in the length you need and get peace of mind knowing they’re meant for the job. Most come with the appropriate bit for it aswell.

Home Depot carries them but I am not sure if they have all the products. We only use the cabinet ones, they work great.
Makita is solid as well.
Get an impact driver, drill motors will wear you and everything out.
For sure torx screws work light years better than Phillips. Phillips is fine for drywall, but trying to do work, they are weak.
