I was wondering if anyone on the forum uses one of the automated drivers and if they use them that much or is it just another gimmick
Hilti I use mine all the time.I was wondering if anyone on the forum uses one of the automated drivers and if they use them that much or is it just another gimmick
Are the makita ones any good? I’ve been looking at getting the dewalt lately because I’ve got s**t loads of tacking to do soon and some people seem to rate them better?Makita brilliant bit of kit,use it for price work not on day rate for builders,
They are ok tend to jam a bit mate has a dewalt one brushless one and its quite a nice bit of kit,i would change but all my kit is Makita.Are the makita ones any good?

Nice one Cheers mate!They are ok tend to jam a bit mate has a dewalt one brushless one and its quite a nice bit of kit,i would change but all my kit is Makita.
Do you have to use the dewalt screws or can you use any brand without them jamming mate?Got a dewalt one it’s ok for small jobs but am gonna upgrade all drills to hilti at year end , does give me neck ache tbh too
Use any mate it has jammed a few times lately but a quick blow down the front end clears the dust then game on again, it is a good collated tbf goes into mf fine tooDo you have to use the dewalt screws or can you use any brand without them jamming mate?
I’ve got the festool one, money well spent. Had sencos and makita before this, they made me give up using them till I saw the fes in action. Them cheap Chinese screws are and headache though always get senco or dewalt screws.a Senco 14v is the favourite we have an 18v one to heavy.
we have been looking at the new Festool driver, the motor only starts when the gun is pressed against the board this gives the battery a long working time.
I prefer senco over makita. Seem to be better balanced in your hand so hit target better. Makitas seem to jam alot as well . Though mine got robbed out van so need a new onea Senco 14v is the favourite we have an 18v one to heavy.

I'm makita too mate great at times but there is a recurring theme on the thread here....it does jam with regularity
100% worth it get the Dewalt Collated, its the best for price and workability, tacked out tons of houses with my one still going never jams, get the smaller batteries for standard size screws and the bigger ones too switch if your using larger screws as they will lose battery life much quicker plus they have more guts.I was wondering if anyone on the forum uses one of the automated drivers and if they use them that much or is it just another gimmick

I had a go with the Festool but preferred my Hilti.a Senco 14v is the favourite we have an 18v one to heavy.
