This drill will pay for itself in a very short time, especially considering the savings in drywall.-Damon Medic This driver will sink screws to the perfect depth every time. 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.
Installed Drywall for almost 20 years, this is the best gun PERIOD for wood frame construction.
as in the past, very pleased with Makita product. tool is very powerful, not for the first time user.
I used some 3" for something and it kept ripping the heads off if I went full throttle with it. Yes, if you use standard #2 tips made for a regular screw gun, it will eat them alive. It will tear the heads off screws like they're plastic if longer than 1 5/8ths. Workaround: Get a holster. I never thought I'd say this, but maybe it has TOO MUCH power for the task.
Your style of work will not mesh well, the gun is too powerful. If you frequently kill tips when you work, dont get this gun. As for the tips getting chewed up. Bottom line, I like it. They should be metal, plain and simple. You can get a 25 pack of dewalts for 8 bucks. Plastic belt clips are a ridiculous idea. Personally I use the regular ones, and they last me on 1 5/8ths coarse threads.
Nahhhhhhhhhhh. You would need the hardened ones like the Dewalt DW2402. If tips usually last you pretty long, this is the gun for you. As for the clip, yeah, it stinks. Save the plastic for the B&D tools.
The tool is very durable and it works circles around any battery powered tool. The nose-cap is designed to pop-off for removing screws. I've found this to be very helpful in the unusual case that I have to un-do something. This tool is a real powerhouse screwgun. Also, it's lighter than most screwguns so you can handle it all day without problem. However, when driving #10-3's into framing lumber or when drivine 1-1/4" 'rock screws, this tool is perfectly happy. I've only been through aboout 15 pounds of screws so far. The speed takes a little technique to handle, but when it comes, you realize just how much more effecient you become when building.
