<div>Yes, definitely take off the guides. Forgot to mention that this time, although it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

<div>This one has removable battery, so I can leave one in the charger at home & keep one in the screwdriver. It also has an auto locking collet so I can use it manually to loosen the screw prior to backing it out or tighten it after running it in. <br>
