Two words. Impact Driver. They are the best screwdriver ever invented. I have the 18v Dewalt version and it's rumored to be able to drive a 6" lag bolt into wood without a pilot hole. I've not tried it myself, but maybe I will later today.
When driving screws into hard wood, you must drill pilot holes or you will split the wood.
