An apparatus for performing a hole in wood or the like, holding a screw prior to screwing the same into a substrate and screwing the screw into the substrate comprising:

• a tool having a handle, an elongated shank extending from the handle, and a screw-engaging tip at the terminal end of said shank, said tip having oppositely disposed generally flat sides and a pair of oppositely disposed downwardly extending tapered cutting surfaces terminating in an elongated point;
• and,
• a screw having a threaded shank and a tapered head, said head having a driver receiving slot therein, said slot having a first and a second portion, said slot's first portion being a downwardly extending elongated slot, and the second portion commencing at a point inwardly spaced from each end of said first portion and being a downwardly tapered slot conforming to the taper of the head, and communicating with said first portion,
• said first portion having a pair of spaced opposed generally flat sidewalls forming said slot, the distance between said sidewalls being generally the same as the width of said flat sides so that said tip is insertable into said screw receiving slot in a manner providing a friction fit therebetween,
• said screw shank having a generally centerally located downwardly extending bore communicating with said slot's second portion for receiving said point therein.
