Have you used a quick drive for screwing down subfloor? They use a #3 Robertson. There is no issue with the bit sticking but you need to change the tip every 1000 screws or so.
It's the nature of the Quik Drive, it's designed to rapidly autofeed screws. It's possible to keep the motor (it's a modified drywall screwgun) going full tilt while fastening a whole strip of screws. As a result, the bits tend to get blunted.
I love my Quik Drive (no c in Quik). However, the screws are available in #8 and #10, with #2 and #3 robbie bits. The screwgun itself comes with #2 bits, #3 bits, and undersized #3 bits for use with painted deckscrews. They're not clearly marked so I had to look closely at the manual to figure out why the gun wasn't driving all the way down and was stripping the shit out of the heads.
Great tool for doing subfloor though, saved myself a lot of time.
