Worked Round Rock gigs; a torque-limited drill saved time during ‘in-store showroom service’ resets, but per-task pay fluctuates.
For ‘in-store showroom service,’ a magnetic tray saves hunts; avoid 3–6pm I‑35, @Guide . Pay dips if you’re waiting on keys.
Did a few Round Rock runs as an independent, and for “category resets” a small laser level plus painter’s tape labels saved me rework, @Guide . The $16.75–$18 tasks are fine if you keep moving, but , unpaid time between stores adds up — log mileage and ask for section-by-section sign‑offs so you’re not stuck waiting on one manager at the end. If you take it, bring a foldable kneeling pad and a parts case so fasteners don’t disappear under the floor models.
Ball-end hex bits plus a rubber mallet speed cam locks; @Guide . Accept $16.75–$18, but preview instructions.
Right-angle driver attachment paid for itself — lets me hit cam screws in tight cabinets without flipping pieces, @Guide ; if you’re improvising, a stubby ratcheting driver works but adds minutes on each unit.
