I do it the same way as kill it n grill it, but am also a big fan of using a cordless drill. A belt holster for the drill helps tremendously.

Ameristep sells a steel tool for installing/removing steps. I'd never even attempt screwing in steps without it. With this baby, you can absolutely bury them in there. If you use screw-in steps - you need this thing.

Google: Ameristep Installer

I love that thing when using screw ins. I went ahead and sprung for 2 sets of the strap steps and they work really well, I can be set up almost as fast as my climber.

I HATE those things. I use strap on ladder sticks. Much easier, faster and safer in myopinion.

I simply cannot believe this thread has been up this long and no one has given you the right answer yet!!

It's pretty simple: if you're having a hard time screwing in steps... Or you've got a step that needs an "installer" sold along with it, or if you need a drill to drill out a pilot hole... YOU'RE USING THE WRONG SCREW-IN STEPS!!! Seriously. Spend an extra buck or two to buy Cranfords. They're usually only found at your more knowledgeable pro shops, but they're easy as pie to screw in. I won't use anything else. They're UNBELIEVABLY so much better than anything else on the market.

I have no sponsorship ties to Cranford at all (I tried; talked to the owner, but no dice... they just don't have the budget for it). I'll still push them this strongly, as the second-place step is so far behind them I have no idea who it is.

I think Bass Pro and Cabela's sells them, too... though I haven't looked in a while. After I bought a few hundred of them, I haven't looked at the step section in quite a while. Just make sure it says Cranford or you've got some way to ascertain it's a Cranford; they're SO good that others have tried to ride their backs with the "easy" name ...

I have never had a problem. I just screw one it, step up, and repeat. I use the cheapest ones I can find too

About the worst that has happened is I am drenched in sweat because it gets so damn humid around here.
