Quik Drive Collated Attachment: Toolsday Easy Way to Roof?
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 10. 2018
- Today we are taking a first look at the quik drive collated fastening attachment from Simpson Strong Tie. I picked this up to attach to the Makita XSF05 screwgun that we love for roofing, and am hoping it is the game-changer I expect it to be. Check out the video, then head over to Instagram and follow me at @rrbuildings where I will be using this tool on site to see what I think about it. Hopefully this will make roofing much easier
With all the metal roofing going on so many houses these days, I feel like this is a tool that could truly change how we roof. It could be so much more efficient than the old way of doing things. What are your thoughts? Good idea, or gimmick? Drop a comment below and lets discuss it!

Thank you for the review and checking out the Quick Drive. We're looking forward to seeing it in action on your job site.
Side note: we have a couple questions for you, so please check your Insta DMs when you have a chance.

0:51 lol won't speak to you before you make the review but as soon as you give them free advertisement they suddenly want to speak to you.
Send the man a pallet of collated screws.
Hi @TheDestroyer32 and thank you for writing. Unfortunately, he wasn't on our radar until we saw that we were tagged on Instagram yesterday. We have one of the best customer service records/reputations in the industry, so I've asked how he tried to reach us so I can mend the gap in communication.

Good for you!! I spent 45 years in the painting industry and let me tell you - anything that changes the ergonomics of the job to correct posture will help you enormously in the future. My knees are shot and my back always painful from so many years of straining the body. If you can make your work life easier, then spend whatever it takes. Even if there is no pay off financially to this tool, if it takes the strain off your back then money be damned, it is worth it!
Lorne Steed that is sage advice. Consider it an investment in the future that you will never know you are collecting on. Your ignorance of pain and discomfort when you get older is priceless.
It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s czcams.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
Woah dude! Video quality and filming is on point! Haven't been keeping on the videos lately, but really glad to see your progress! Keep it up Kyle (ang Greg!)
I had similar when I was a site laborer way back for screwing down floors. Definite back saver.
Thank you RRB. Anytime you can save wear and tear on your body is money well spent. People always try to save money but, beat up there body which out cost the money they save. I hope it works good for you.
I am soooo exited for that Sub Compact saw, especially after learning that there will be an AWS version. I would much appriciate a review! :)
I bought one of these when I had to make a stage.
Saved my back quite a bit.
Thanks again for the information 👍
It looks like a great system!
I've got a quick drive, loved it. Had it for almost 11 years now but I use it for deck building sub flooring.
11 years! The Quik Drive team will be thrilled to see this comment. Thank you for your commitment to safe, strong decks and choosing Simpson Strong-Tie.
@@strongtie Ran hundred of boxes of screws through mine and it still works great I'm just real anal about maintenance on all my nail guns and keep things oiled properly the last forever.
Have an older model quickdrive & it works flawlessly, just have to remember to keep the rubber pads clean of grit & metal shavings so you don't scratch the paint.
You can easily use it for walls as well by removing the extension.
Thank you for using the Quick Drive, @McGillicuddy.
Looks sweet hope to hear more about it do you still need to pre-drill your steel? Do the screws always run in straight every time?
That’s a kool tool right there
GREAT VIDEO BRO
I, too, hope it works for you and your team!
Awesome tool. Hope it works great for y’all.
Excellent videos.thx
Does anybody know if the footage of him using it, on the work site, is on CZcams?
Great attachment used one on decking for a dock,nice on the back you’ll like it😎
Happy to hear it worked out for you. Thank you for using Simpson Strong-Tie.
We use Quik Drive for all our decks. Works great. Never let us down.
Thank you!
Getting old! Next tool... walking stick! Check! Only kiddin’ ya! Another cool video. As always a BIG 👍 from me.
Anything that saves the wear and tear on your body over time is worth it. Screws are almost twice the amount, but if it keeps you young I say it's a win win!
As a railroad worker we bend over alot also and we have a hydraulic spike driver that saves alot of back pain, but we still have to set them up by bending over. It will be woth the money!
So would you then use a standard screw gun when you first locate the sheet, than run along with this to secure it down once all sheets in place?
I hope oit works out for you and the crew probably give everyone another 20 years of working with out spinal surgery . Happy Trails
We use are quick drive for laying wood decking boards and it r
Is really a back saver
The timing of your videos is interesting. :P It just so happens that today we're putting steel on a 48x54'. But we do have four guys on the roof, so it's going purdy fast. Curious to see how this system works out!
The BPG300 and the collated screws for metal to wood roofing has been discontinued by Simpson Strong-Tie. Do you have a recommendation for another tool?
concise, no nonsense information delivered with excellent video and editing. Curious about what looks like Bluetooth hearing protection though...
Simon Crawshaw isotunes extra and yes Bluetooth and osha rated
I just bought the Simpson quick drive system and was looking for the tin screws to go with it. Can you tell me what site you order your screws from
Hey Kyle, does the auto push-on of the Makita driver still work with the Simpson Quick Drive system? Or do you need to trigger the driver with each screw?
Good question! Kyle...? Kyle...? I think he responds to questions on videos for about 12 hours as that is when most subscribers will see it. Sadly it seems that after that the videos are just online to rack up views.
On Pure Living for Life they use something similar, it's quick and easy but does have some drawbacks if you want to have a look.
Awesome product.. I think you need a bigger tool belt loop to hold it lol
great video! I did buy this gun for decking also the one for metal roofing! I wonder if you can share model # of the hex screw for this gun? thanks
I like it awesome tool I hope it's what your looking for later my brother :)
How difficult is it to hit the holes you punched in the material?
I dont think they punch roof material because they have staggered screw lines on the roof due to the purlins being staggered as they go along the roof
look cool but can you accurately put it in a pre punched/piloted hole easily? Last thing I want is a wave pattern of fasteners.
Looks like you might miss the whole on the steel and scratch the painted surface. Seems like a useful too only once you get a days use to figure out where to center the end.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏 from Italy
Great vid! How does it with pre punching it?? Can you see your punch and line it up with that attachment?
He doesn't pre punch the roof only marks each side and eyebalz
What camera are you using
Ox In The Shop 80d canon
Dude you do a shit ton of free advertising for these thankless companies. Hope you find someone who can give advise for monetizing some of it. These companies must love you. Your watchers sure do. Thanks.
Light Ning honestly if I didn’t make a living building barns or enjoy sharing what I might know... I’d be all over it
@@RRBuildings Their marketing department should at least send you and your family a Christmas card. 🎄
He's running a great CZcams channel. It's better than channels like Wranglerstar that do fluff pieces for anybody with an open wallet.
I have been using that drill for over a year u can't beat it on metal roofs
I build myself my first shed and I just noticed that both walls (right and left are 1/2 an inch lining to the left, can i fix this? Its almost done, I havent use any nails its all screw and I thing if I detach the front and the back i could push the walls and fix them
The problem is with the roof and all I dont know if it would be safe.... 😞
Kyle, how easy is it to hit your pre-drilled hole? Seems like it may be hard to see.
I do not prepunch the roof

Can you talk about the footwear you prefer or tried over the years. Also great videos.
Take a look at the 'die hard' line from Sears, as an option. An odd recommendation, I know, but worth a look.
Third Party Military boots are by far the most comfortable boot you'll ever wear.
Bellevilles
Danners
Garmonts
I wear Garmont T8s and i dont think ill ever find a boot as good
My belles died in short order. They are too soft and break down too quickly. In this video I noticed that he has boots that look a lot like ones I wear which are USA made by Thoroughgood. I like them because they have a stylish moc toe but are still steel toe and waterproof (mostly).
what gauge metal do you use on roof and walls?
Forest Gray 29
Does milwaukee have this tool?
👍👍👍
Hope you bought two, one for Greg
Thanks for these videos! Informative and entertaining. Where do you get those huge boxes of GRK R5 screws? I'm a finish carpenter that is trying to convert all my fasteners to GRK. It's hard tho because I can only find them in smaller, expensive, quantities around me.
Brennan High are you near a Menards
I bet the building owner will appreciate less dropped screws.
whats a ruuf?
looks good but it might be too big. seems like you'd want something that is more compact to be on the roof and whatnot
def one of my concerns as well
I don’t see how it could be any smaller if you want to stand up
@@loganpatterson4674 if you want to stand up sure. But if you want to use it like a normal screw gun it would be too long
I have never fixed corrugated iron through the low part of the corrugation, I could not make myself put screws somewhere they could possibly be underwater for days. No matter what, the washer or whatever is used to seal the fastener is not up to submersion.
why would they be under water for days??? these are 4/12 pitched roofs
It’s not corrugated metal either. He uses residential rib steel.
RR Buildings Ice dam?
Carknocker001 if it’s an ice dame the screw on the rib would not be safe and neither would the lap joint so maybe it wouldn’t matter
Putting screw in without proper backing is way worse,. The steel can flex and it will leak under heavy snowloads on top of the roof and the epdm seals lasts longer than the steel around it.
Are u a cubs fan
It looks like the head is made (molded) to sit on the center of a rib..?
can be both
You don't fix sheets from rib to battens only few screw to hold sheets together it's not rigid way and sheets will be slightly moving because thermal expansion, wind blow, snow load and screw holes start to form bigger and leaking is inevitable.
Could you get the kids to earn some pocket money and reload the strips? Or can they even be re-used?
ende miller I think so but def not as tight
Looks like a zombie apocalypse weapon
Nothing I hate more than a handful of screw holes
How much do you pay for your grk screws?
they aren't cheap...I don't even check to be honest...as with all my fasteners...its just part of it. I know I should check...but
@@RRBuildings I understand. Thanks for reply!
I just switched to GRK screws thanks to you. They're really as good as you say.
@@halbritt they're so expensive at a big box store tho
Daniel Garbuzov agree... but you get what you pay for.... structural screws make me feel better
now you just need to invent a small machine that reloads the strips at home.
Good one. I have three at my house.....I feed them every day. Lol
Good one! I have three at my house.....I feed them every day. Lol
HA HA Reached out to Simpson multiple times with no Luck, next oh here's a new saw Makita just send me without asking HA HA Anyway I will still give Simpson a big plug even after paying for the product.
Not my intention just thought it was worth noting, as its a cool saw.
Yeah looks like a great saw, I love my Makita 165mm, so light and powerful (corded version though)
Is Greg related to you ?, he looks like a younger quiet version of you :) :) :) lucky to have him he's a hard worker makes you a lot of money I hope you look after him :) :)
All I see is the chainsaw machine gun from gears of war.
cheaper than paying a chiropractor.
I guess I didn't pay close attention
Over 10 screws? Banned in CA 😕
Haha
I did a review of the Quick Drive Pro 300S using it to install cedar decking. I found it was x4 faster than screwing down by hand.
czcams.com/video/ghk7Bg6M8VI/video.html
Hope you get the same increased efficiency that I did. Nice new lighting!
I just looked at Simpson's website and the information for this extension unit leaves much to be desired. They don't list what screwdriver motors are compatible, rpm driven nor is there a way to locate the pre-punched holes if that's the method you go with. The rib attachment feature is what it looks like they want you to do more so than using the flats..
The extension isn't like a siding attachment for a roofing coil nailer, where the foot on the nailer has a locating pin.
After watching Simpson's video, it appears that they need to have someone show them how to adjust their own attachment, as the driven depth dimpled the metal roofing material used.
In your case, if you decide to continue using the BGP300, I'd say keep the belts and reload them yourself on downtime, especially since the fasteners cost twice of loose screws.
Hello, thank you for commenting. Check out this link for a complete list of compatible screwdriver motors. www.strongtie.com/products/fastening-systems/technical-notes/quik-drive-adaptors
I'm checking with our product team regarding the other questions in your note and will get back to you ASAP.
Simpson Strong-Tie thanks for chiming in
Very good mate, but “my opinion” it will be better if you talk less and shows more, I just been passing +10 +10 nearly to the end of your video and hopefully I find you showing “how to” finally somewhere
Nah
I. Am. Number. One.
$20/bag for screws is way over priced bud. You should be getting $10-14 with the volume you do.
probably right....I am much more concerned with just building and do a poor job price checking
I understand bud. I’ve done a few metal roofs and I got them down to 15 a bag when I was getting them with the metal.
Got a friend that is partial owner of a metal shop. The most upcharge is on trims, screws, and closeup foams. You can get them to drop 10-20% on those things most of the time.
