🔧
prob_01
Screw doesn't start drilling or slips on the surface.
Common root cause: Surface too hard, worn drill bit tip, or incorrect tool.
Step-by-step solution: Check if the surface is compatible (thin metal sheet, wood, drywall). Use a drill with good RPM and the correct bit. If the screw tip is damaged, use another.
💡
Pro tip: For harder surfaces, drill a smaller pilot hole with a standard drill bit before using the self-drilling screw.

Evidence to provide support: Clear photo of the screw tip and the surface where you tried to drill.
