Makita Cordless Screwgun
Hey. Anyone have any experience with this gun? Looks big and bulky but i held it in the store today and it feels pretty good in your hand. I had a cordless Dewalt that was ok but not great. Any opinion?

Re: Makita Cordless Screwgun
Thats the only cordless screw gun I would ever buy!
I had the priviledge of trying one of those and they blew my mind. A friend lent me his set and thats all we used all day. We did 3000squ/ft of board on one battery each. (me and my partner) And the lithium ion batteries only take like 30mins to charge. Hand down the best cordless drywall gun in my opinion! oh! And the reversible belt clip is awesome too! Cuz im left handed.

Years (I 'm talk'n yeeaarrs) ago the DeWalt rep told me they stopped making their cordless screw gun cause it sucked sooo bad they could not justify it being in their line up.

Re: Makita Cordless ScrewgunQuote:
I had a 12volt Cordless Dewalt and it just sucked...so bad.. It was sooo slow!.....so slow! And the weight was off, like the gun had no balance what so ever! It could not sit comfortably on your tool belt in any way! It was just way too awkward! The makita is extremely well weighed in the sense that your motor is at the front and your battery pack at the back. So it counter balances itself. I actually forgot how nice these were to use... I think im gonna go buy the combo pack tomorrow.

Re: Makita Cordless Screwgun
This is good to know. I just bought a 7 piece makita 18v combo kit and wanted to add a drywall gun to my collection. Thanks for the input.

Re: Makita Cordless Screwgun
Now I just looked at the price and do have to say I feel it would not be worth $380. I Googled it and found it cheaper but nothing under $320. Still not worth the price to me.
WOW

Re: Makita Cordless ScrewgunQuote:
Because they are expensive. But unfortunately thats the difference between a crap cordless and a good one. Cordless Hilti's are very good as well but they're like $600! Screw that noise.

Re: Makita Cordless ScrewgunQuote:
As promised! I went and did the same thing! So here's what the combo comes with.   I know the price tag says $425 on the box but that's not what I paid. My supplier gave me a little bit of a better deal and I got it for $365. I will upload a full video review of this product with pros and cons when I get home from work Monday night. You guys will be able to see it in action.

My local building store loves me. lol. They want to give their potential clients ideas for stucco? I film them youtube videos. haha. We work together. Then the client buys the product from them and they suggest they hire my company to do the work.

Sorry man, it was supposed to upload last night but when I woke up this morning I guess my internet must have cut out and cancelled the upload. Upload's currently at 33%! Just so you can see im not lying!
