Affixing a Mezuzah with an Electric Screwdriver
Question
Is it permissible to affix a mezuzah with an electric screwdriver? After all, it is the power of electricity that affixes it, not me.
Answer
Hello,
You are using the rotational force of the screwdriver to attach.
Just as you use the adhesive power of glue and the force of a hammer.
