I'm working on screwing down my subfloors using a Ridgid 5x brushless impact driver, but I'm having trouble getting the floor screws all the way into the joist. Is there a specific technique or something I might be doing wrong?

First off, double-check that your impact driver is set to the highest torque setting—it makes a huge difference! It's easily overlooked. Also, make sure your battery is fully charged when you're doing this; a weak battery can really affect performance. Sometimes the screws can get stuck if they’re not the right type for your flooring or joists. Let me know if the screws are turning at all or just getting stuck!
