What is Quik Drive®?
Quik Drive® is a line of auto-feed screw driving systems designed to make fastening faster, smarter, and more efficient. Developed by Simpson Strong-Tie, these systems are engineered to save time and increase productivity in repetitive fastening applications.
At its core, Quik Drive® is a system that consists of a collated screw strip, a driver bit, and a power tool. The collated screw strip is a magazine of screws that are held together by a plastic or paper strip, allowing for easy and convenient loading into the Quik Drive system. The driver bit is designed to work in conjunction with the power tool to drive the screws quickly and accurately. When the trigger is pulled, the Quik Drive® system automatically feeds the next screw into place, eliminating the need for manual screw loading and reducing the risk of dropped or lost screws. This streamlined process enables users to focus on the task at hand, increasing efficiency and reducing fatigue.
