Quik Drive^®

Quik Drive is the fastest, most reliable and ergonomic way to install high volumes of screws. It's that simple.

Information for Quik Drive® owners

Quik Drive adapters make it easy and can in a matter of seconds convert the majority of all screwdrivers to our automatic screw system Quik Drive.

1. Remove the nose cone from the screwdriver according to the manufacturer's instructions (most can be pulled straight off)
2. Remove the bit holder
3. Attach the Quik Drive adapter that fits your screwdriver
4. Insert the mandrel into the screwdriver or extension.
5. Attach the attachment to the mandrel until it is locked by the locking arm
Insert the screw band with the screw tip forward until it clicks into place: Now your Quik Drive screw system is ready for use!

Sympton	Solution
Screws won't drive. They spin for a second, then lay over on their side.	Make sure the screw gun is not set to reverse. Make sure the screws are being driven straight.
Screws won't drive completely. They go down about halfway, then the bit spins out.	Check that you are using the correct bit for the type of screws you are using or if the bit is worn. Replace in either case. Keep constant pressure on when driving the screws.
Screws won't drive completely. They are almost completely driven but won't countersink fully.	Check the depth adjustment on the attachment and reset if necessary. You may have missed the substrate. For example in a flooring installation you may have missed the joist. Check that all cir-clips and rings have been removed from the front of the driver before the adapter is fitted.
Screws don't advance properly causing the the tool to jam.	Use only Simpson Strong-Tie® Quik Drive® screws. Make sure the screw strip is inserted correctly - pointed end first. Lift the tool completely off the work surface after driving each screw. Don't drag the screw strips on the work surface as you move. Be sure that the feed pawl assembly is intact and the feed lever engaged.

Error	Probable Cause	Possible Solutions
Split at point (web)	Excessive force (feed) applied while drilling	Reduce application force
Outer corners worn or melted	Drill RPM (cutting speed) too high	Use slower motor or partial trigger pull
Cutting edges chipping or breaking	Excessive force (feed) applied while drilling	Reduce application force
Point melted or diameter significantly reduced	Work material too hard Insufficient chip clearance Excessive force (feed) applied while drilling	Confirm work material specs Choose screw with longer pilot section Reduce application force
Screw spins without drilling a hole	Drill motor set on reverse Work material too hard Drill point blunted by handling	Check motor direction Confirm work material specs Inspect unused drill points for possible damage (from handling)
