If you want two bits to really "pull in" then either drill a clearance
hole on the top one, or just self countersink *deep* into the top with
plenty of brute force and ignorance.

I've found that if the pieces don't pull together, backing out the
Turbogold
& screwing it in again works a treat.

Don't try that with stainless....... they break!

Something very funny going on. At least two of you have said something
about stainless (at least Turbo Ultra) breaking/failing.

I don't think a single one I have used has been a problem - except a
couple of graunched heads which were probably entirely my fault. (I had
more problem with slotted s/s screws I bought which had lousily formed
slots and a few did break.) Maybe it is certain sizes? Or luck of the
draw? I have used both mini Mak impact driver and main drill to screw
them, and have certainly done them up very tightly. (Goodbye head as it
disappears... :-) )

I have snapped the head off some 6 x 100 in the past.

They also bend.
