Will this go through hard wood? null

Hello there! Thank you for your inquiry. The WORX WX240L 4V compact screwdriver is not designed to drive screws directly into hardwood because its maximum torque output is 44 in‑lbs, which WORX specifies as sufficient for light fastening tasks such as assembling furniture or handling common screwdriving jobs—not penetrating dense materials like hardwood. Driving screws into hardwood requires significantly higher torque due to the density of the wood fibers, and woodworking guidance confirms that torque needs vary widely by wood species, screw size, and grain structure, with no universal torque value because hardwood resistance is so variable. Hardwoods also require pre‑drilling, as they demand much higher torque than softwoods and can easily resist or stall low‑power tools. While the WX240L can drive screws into pre‑drilled holes in hardwood, it does not have the power to drive screws directly into hardwood without preparation. Thank you for choosing WORX!
