I just chucked the screw in the cordless drill and tighten it up. The treads don't get mangled up in the short time that they are being compressed by the chuck. Once you get that palm on chuck/fingers holding screw/trigger/reverse button coordination down. Worked perfectly. i worked on a job that required installing a couple hundred hanger screws into a plywood backed wall. I just chucked the screw in the cordless drill and tighten it up.

There are drivers for these too: http://www.mcfeelys.com/hanger-bolts We do lots of stair building - so dowel screws come into play. Since a lot of our work is with L J Smith stair parts - we often use their LJ-3033 dowel screw drivers. Frank

I thought about using a vice-grip but didn't want to damage the threads, I ended up putting two bots on each screw next to each other and tightening and then using an adjustable wrench on one to drive the entire screw in.
