Your Drywall Screwgun Of Choice?

neptune

My vote definitely goes to the Hilti cordless SF4000, I'll probably never use another gun as long as im in this trade.

I would have to agree with you there. Had mine about a year and wouldn't swap it for anything. Except maybe Kylie Minogue.

I liked the old black and deckers but the newer dewalts are close to the same. My old black and decker had the perfect clutch wich i havent been able to find on any other guns . hows the clutch on that hilti cordless?? i hate the guns you have to jab to get them to work such as milwaukees, grabbers and a few others ive tried .

Good question, I'd like to know the best cordless self feeding guns out there.

I preferred Hilti in the early 90's but they redesigned thier guns into something better used as a deepwater sinker so I switched to DeWalt. I'm speaking of corded guns,haven't used cordless much so far.

the deWalts are great, definitely hard to beat the price

a short while back i remember seeing corded dewalt router/screwgun combo's for $120...

paid almost 4 times that for my hilti/batteries and charger

I guess I'm just stuck in the past,I prefer the dewalt also..

i don't do drywall all day long, but after using my Senco collated gun, I hate to do anything without it. Makes hanging 8 footers on the ceiling by myself pretty easy!!

oh yeah, i picked it up at flea market for $40 with a half bucket of screws!! i've put more than 20 buckets of screws through it since!!! one of my rare bargains!

my vote is to the Makita BFR550

Bought one of those. Kept jamming and sending screws off in all directions. Exchanged it for another which lasted 2 hrs before it screwed itself to the wall. Chucked it about 20 feet and got my money back. Pile of crap! Only my experience though. Generally Makita stuff is good.

Yes they sometimes screw a screw into one of the jaws but not often. i like its consistent screw placing. i usually set it a few notches shorter than it says you should. have had trouble with the guide jaw springs.

I like the dewalt 4000 rpm with the tug to remove nose. That thing is great for the money. I had the 2500 rpm decking/drywall gun and I couldn't throw that thing far enough! What a piece of crap!

corded screw gun!!

I bought a senco it was so cheap i couldn't resist it's real good for screwing down floors and drywall until the tip pops out or you need to reverse it or you get dust in the mechanism and it sticks. The bit release button is located in a bad spot on top so i taped mine up, you will need a cordless near bye for some corners and and any misses. I sometimes leave my screws a little loose around the ceiling boxes until i rotozip and then i tighten them, (not good for the senco).I like my dewalt corded screwgun best. The ryobi cordless router does a nice job on drywall and is super fast for cutting recessed lights on acoustical tiles with the circle cutter.

hilti sd 4500 corded screw gun

I'm not a drywall guy, but I've hung my share of it, I have the old Black & Decker (the Sears Craftsman Professional was the same), corded and that thing is excellent, doesn't break the paper, lots of power and recesses the screws nicely. Not for drywall, but I also like the old Black & Decker Pro 90 angle drill, one of my favorites, can't find a new one like it, ended up going with the Makita 90 angle, B&D used to make some nice power tools.

CRAPOLA. Plastic "Drive Head" that, once knocked around even just a wee bit, becomes semi-stripped and then tends to frequently become loose.

I have several Makita "Quick Drive" colated screw guns that were designed sub flooring & 5/4 decking, but they work just as well & just as fast on sheet rock. The 3 foot extension makes quick/ easy work of over head installation.
