Hi guys.

Have just bought a makita screwgun and want to buy a bulk-load of collated screws in. Do i have to buy the expensive makita ones, or can i buy the cheap ones off t'ebay?
e.g-

Have heard some screw manufacturers don't work well with the makita screwgun...?

Any advice welcome. Thanks again!
 
i know but we had a few boxes of each on a job a while back and i prefered the finer threads on timber. dont know why. never used it on metal studs.
 
I only use senco duraspin screws. Makita collated screw guns are rubbish. The rubber stopper on the nose falls off, eventually gets lost and 4 holes that hold it in place are left open so screws get stuck in the holes. Just my opinion.....
 
i got hilti screwgun and just use cheap screws of rip bay.
No problems with them.Your just paying for a brand with makitta screws think i paid about £60 for 10,000 50 mm coarse threads screws
 
I got a makita LXT screwgun which I like. I have 3000 collated screws(makita) in the garage that are a load of shite. I use Timco or Spax with no problems. hope that helps ;)
 
always find that the makita ones always end up getting stuck in the end of the gun ,usually buy them from d.i.p.t ,just had a look at those and ended up buying 10000 brilliant price
