You have to push hard into the fan and they make there own thread.

You just need to push harder.

 

Get down that gym.

 

Make sure the screwdriver tip doesn't slip (will round out head)

 

yeah then you 'ave to drill the READ THE FAQ out and you dont want that!

 

Mole grip them. I can't see how it could be going so badly.

 

A big chinky screwdriver with the largest head possible will work well. I always used to round out the heads of the screws and used to end up spending ages trying to get them out.

Lay the fan down on the floor and screw directly downwards to make sure that the screws don't go in at an angle

Once you do it a few times it becomes easier.

 

Using a Blue Tank to make holes seems a bit over the top and dangerous.

I would use a screwdriver myself !

Acoustifan silent mounts are sooooo much more trick.

 

Nothing wrong with how it works now, has worked for decades so if it is not broke, why fix it?

 

piledriver

 

You'll need a hardened screwdriver though as cheap screwdrivers will either rip the screw head or the head of the screwdriver itself will buckle. Lay in on the floor, and put some weight on it guiding the screw in. When you come to screw it into your case, the thread will already have been made.

 

invest in some decent screwdrivers and pump up your arms
