Darn cordless screwdrivers!

[MauiSteve]

Finally got my Hawaii plates today. Went to install and the dealer that installed the original stuff put the self tapping screws in with a cordless screwdriver into the plastic bumper cover, pretty much stripped them out. I'm not concerned with the front since my LOD stubby is on the way. On the back bumper I went and bought some well nuts (1/4-20) to install the plate. Worked great.
To mechanics: Check the clutch on your cordless, it's there for a reason.

Mechanics probably don't put on the license plate covers or plastic dealer plates, some $10/hour lot jockey did. Lucky they even know which way to turn the screws probably...
