While kneepads are a common solution to protecting the joints while working on flooring and deck installations, the Quik Drive System is even less harsh on the knees. This system allows users to drive floor-level screws while standing. Created by Sympson Strong-Tie, the tool is meant to be used with the brand's collated fasteners.
The Quik Drive System is comprised of three parts. A DeWalt cordless driver ensures that users will not trip over excess wires. An extension barrel is used to extend according to the user's height and the flooring depth. Finally, the third part is the subfloor attachment for added security. This component keeps the tool in place while it is in use.
