Dewalt collated screw gun

[Rst1983]

Hi,anyone used the newish Dewalt 18v collated screw gun?i don't do a great deal of boarding but have a job coming up n it looks like good value at 300 and reviews looked good

Just get one then, 300 knickers not the end of the world if it's crap but if it works you can save yourself a lot of fuffing about in the future.

Is it the one with a drywall driver and a separate collated magazine like the hilti?bosch also have one similar.

 

[Marshy]

Will stick to my hilti

Yes that's the 1 it looks similar but it's a lot cheaper.used Hilti n most dry liners use them coz they r the best but can't justify that much money for the odd job

I got one last year £270 it's bang on... And it's a dewalt one

 

[Marshy]

I didnt know dewalt did one??

 

[CTPlastering]

Ive never seen a dewalt one either before , i dont think dewalt are as good as back in the day .......

 

[Marshy]

I also have a milwaukee gun (corded tho) fires up to 75mm screws and its about 4ft long great for vaulted cielings etc

Any good sites for drywall guns? im looking for one

 

[Marshy]

Some reckon those festool are good? Im lucky i got a hilti but my old makita was great. The new ones are shite (makita) but so are senco in my opinion best bet is to go to a decent tool merchants or a tool open day and test a few? Hitachi do one too?? Minefield for power tools these days

https://www.hilti.ie/screw-fastening/drywall-screwdrivers/r5241 what about this hilti? it will be used for attic conversions not for MF ceilings, for now.

I have the sd 5000 with collated attachment fires in up to 55mm screws great drill batteries seem to last forever too

A lot of old school boarders still use the single shot guns and bloody quick at it 2.hilti is top drawer!!

 

[gavindublin]

i dont like the balance with the battery in the cordless, extra weight too, unless the new ones are top notch?.

 

[gavindublin]

i used to collated guns about 13 years ago, they were brutal then.

Excellent bit of kit but f**k dragging a cable around. Get the cordless Hilti, you won't be sorry although your bank balance might be.
£564 inc vat for the gun, collated end, batteries & charger.

Check this bad boy out !!

Just over 1m long 800mm to the drill. Its corded but dont care its great for vaulted ceilings. Get the lads to hold the board up while you walk round firing screws in
