Works well, fairly light weight. Depth adjustment takes a little practice but once sets works well.

Worked great! I used it to drill in plywood sheathing and it was even able to countersink the plywood! Only wish a collated attachment was available.

It’s a drywall screwgun so it does exactly what you would expect it to. Assembled in the US so that’s good. The reason for my 3 stars is the cord length is only about 8′. Doesn’t sound like a big deal until you’re on a latter and the cord connection to the extension cord snags on something. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for tool manufacturers to figure out to put a 12 or 15′ cord on tools that need to move around.

Very simple to use. Adjustment is easy. Very comfortable grip and balance. For the price, really impressed with it.

Wouldn’t bother with this tool. I got it on sale and it’s still not a good deal. I have a Makita compact driver with a $20 dimpler attachment and it works much better. Granted it costs a lot more but it can also do more than just hang drywall. In a world of good long-lasting cordless tools the corded option is annoying. The tool becomes unplugged at the worst possible times, so much so that I have now zip-tied it to an extension cord. The screwdriver itself is poorly balanced. I’m stronger than average, but I find my wrists and hands get fatigued very quickly holding this tool after just a few sheets of drywall. And like too many tools these days, the switch is far too easy to engage and I often find I’ve accidentally turned it off or switched it into reverse. Plus it’s long, bulky design means it’s less than ideal for getting into tight spots. For the price it gets the job done, and it beats my old drills, but compared to other alternatives it’s just not worth it.

, easy to handle, well balanced, not to heavy at a good price. I would buy it again.

If you have never used a drywall gun before, this review is for you. I had previously used a cordless drill for drywall, but decided to move up to a drywall gun when finishing my basement. When I first tried it I was close to throwing it out. I could not get a screw in without slipping and stripping out the screw head. As it turned out, I had no idea how to use this simple tool.My biggest mistake was to use it just like a regular drill. Although the gun has variable rpm, it really has to be brought up to full speed and drive the screw in quickly. You also need to place a hand on the upper part of the drill and put some pressure on it and push the screw in. Unlike a regular drill, the clutch will prevent the gun from engaging until you put pressure on it. Once you get the hang of two handed operation, you can lock the trigger which means the motor will spin continuously and engage the drill when you put pressure on it. This way you can operate it with only one hand on the upper part of the drill. When using the gun, make sure the drywall is held tight up against the framing member and that the screw is going in straight. It will also take a few tries to get the dept setting just right.I like that it has a cord as you don’t have to worry about running out of batteries, it also makes it lighter which is great when working on ceilings. A regular drill is heavy and slow and my arm would really feel it after just a few overhead sheets. With its light weight and quick operation I felt no fatigue after hanging my whole ceiling.If you are hanging more than just a few sheets, this really is a worthwhile investment.

This is an exceptional tool. I have put up alot of drywall with this screwgun. Never had a problem with it. Have changed the bit once. Highly recommended.

I’ve always liked Dewalt screw guns they hold up to the work that I have to dish out

I found this drill in a basement covered in water and dirt it looked like a total loss. With some good cleaning it works like a charm . My only problem I can’t get the bit out just yet . I was told that the drill was in mud and water for 3 years maybe more and yet it fired up the first time I plugged in so I’m pretty impressed.

It’s a good quality built screw gun and it was made the USA and offered at a reasonable price. Works like it supposed and seems very durable so it should last for many years. I found the stock bit to be junk but that is easily resolved.

This product was everything that I hoped it to be. It takes a minute to understand the power but it does exactly want is promised.

The first one however only worked for a few days? It didn’t work when the driver was toward the ceiling. So i returned it an the other one seems to be working fine so far.

My wife loved this screw gun. Was easy to set the screw depth on a cut out piece of sheet rock, a couple twists and it was ready to go. Made it easy to attach to the wall without the worry that she might sink the screws in to deep.

This is the second screw gun I’ve purchased like this model. The first one broke too soon driving some bigger screws into wood. Stick to screws under 1-5/8” in length and you should be golden. I was really happy with the gun and you can get replacement parts. I will fix my other gun.

Once you learned the product, great tool….Easy, fast.

A friend is helping us put up sheetrock and his drill quit. I purchased this one to replace his old faithful friend. He really likes it. He especially enjoys the constant on feature which allows him to set the screw and push it in without having to hold the trigger.
