Pilot holes are also a good thing to use. Pilot holes and soap (I use
dishsoap) together work wonders.

lubrication......drag them over a bar of soap good before you drive
them. You might also try square drive...they offer a little better
grip.

Last week I tried to drive some four inch deck screws into studs to hold
some 2.5" furring strips. even with pilot holes, I kept getting near the
end when the bit would slip out of the philips slot and drill it out.
How do you drive those suckers successfully? The bits were new
Milwaukees. The drill was an old variable speed Craftsman with no brake.
