the other day i caught just a snippet of a show with bob helping to install a composite deck. they were using a tool that appeared to be some sort of extension hooked up to a drill. the tool was used from a standing position rather than on the knees. does anyone know who makes this tool, what it is called, any information would be helpful. thanks, tami

There are a number of collated screw guns with extensions. Some are compelte and some are extensions that work with other screw guns.

Here are a few examples.

I saw one at a recent trade show that caught my eye. It is carried by Grabber Construction Products. The gun was nothing special, however the bit (called SuperDrive) was an odd shape that they CLAIM will not strip out...even if you never lift your finger off the trigger and just keep driving screw after screw. If you do a search for SuperDrive you should be able to find it.
