Hitachi Drywall Gun


I have been using a Dewalt 255, but the 6.0 Hitachi gun has caught my eye. I'm thinking about getting one at Lowes and trying it out. Does anyone have experience with them?

My company used only Dewalt screw guns until we bought a Truck load of screws from Hilti and with it came a few free screw guns. The hilti screw gun is by far the best i have used.... I highly recomend it
