Makita 6825 6.5 Amp Drywall Screw Driver is a must-have if you do a lot of drywall hanging. There is nothing more frustrating than having your drywall screws sinking too far into the drywall. This driver will sink screws to the perfect depth every time. This drill will pay for itself in a very short time, especially considering the savings in drywall.-Damon Medic
Installed Drywall for almost 20 years, this is the best gun PERIOD for wood frame construction.
tool is very powerful, not for the first time user. as in the past, very pleased with Makita product.
Nahhhhhhhhhhh. As for the tips getting chewed up. Plastic belt clips are a ridiculous idea. Personally I use the regular ones, and they last me on 1 5/8ths coarse threads. I used some 3" for something and it kept ripping the heads off if I went full throttle with it. As for the clip, yeah, it stinks. I never thought I'd say this, but maybe it has TOO MUCH power for the task. You would need the hardened ones like the Dewalt DW2402.
If you frequently kill tips when you work, dont get this gun. Yes, if you use standard #2 tips made for a regular screw gun, it will eat them alive. Your style of work will not mesh well, the gun is too powerful. Save the plastic for the B&D tools. It will tear the heads off screws like they're plastic if longer than 1 5/8ths. You can get a 25 pack of dewalts for 8 bucks.
They should be metal, plain and simple. Workaround: Get a holster. Bottom line, I like it. If tips usually last you pretty long, this is the gun for you.
The nose-cap is designed to pop-off for removing screws. I've only been through aboout 15 pounds of screws so far. This tool is a real powerhouse screwgun. I've found this to be very helpful in the unusual case that I have to un-do something. However, when driving #10-3's into framing lumber or when drivine 1-1/4" 'rock screws, this tool is perfectly happy. The speed takes a little technique to handle, but when it comes, you realize just how much more effecient you become when building. The tool is very durable and it works circles around any battery powered tool. Also, it's lighter than most screwguns so you can handle it all day without problem.
