About this deal

Completing the drywall combo is the powerful DeWalt drywall screw gun that took our runner-up spot, plus two batteries, a charger, and a useful canvas carryall. Cordless drywall screw guns are described as either 18 or 20 volt (V), but there is no actual difference. All cordless tools have a small surge at start-up, so they initially produce 20V. They then settle to 18V for normal operation. The only difference is that some manufacturers choose to use the higher figure. Speed and Torque

Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the chargerWeight will make a considerable difference to those who are hanging drywall all day, especially if installing ceilings. A comfortable grip and an easy-to-reach trigger will also reduce fatigue and help prevent hand cramps. The tool weighs just 2.9 pounds and has good ergonomics that help counter the inconvenience of having a cord. The 8-foot cord is longer than some, but an extension cable will usually still be needed.

We thoroughly researched the latest products from the leading manufacturers of drywall screw guns in addition to some lesser-known brands and combined that research with ample firsthand experience with remodeling homes and hanging sheets of drywall.It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately)

The Makita 199146-8 Collated Autofeed Screwdriver Magazine Attachment delivers easy and reliable autofeed capability. The compact, ergonomic autofeed design offers less weight and efficient power. Its ideal for production board attachment to metal or wood. Collated screw length capacity ranges from 25mm to 55mm for increased versatility. For use with specific Makita corded and cordless screwdrivers. Autofeed Screwdriver Magazine features a collated screw length capacity range from 1" to 2-3/16" for increased versatility A removable nose cone provides the usual three-step depth adjustment. Surprisingly, for a drywall screw gun at this price, the Ryobi also has an auto mode (called QuietDrive). As is common, a belt clip and LED work light are included. Makita’s cordless drywall screwdriver is another high-quality tool aimed at professional users, but with a price that will appeal to keen DIYers. The long-life brushless motor runs at 4,000 rpm. At 3 pounds, plus a 1.4-pound battery, the tool is a little heavier than some, but it is still easy to manage.

Support

The brushless motor runs at 4,000 rpm and can drive collated screws (drywall and standard wood screws) from 1 inch to 2.125 inch long. Instead of the usual three-step depth setting, there is a variable dial. This gives the Makita auto-feed screwdriver great versatility and allows the user to compensate for the hardness of the material and set the depth precisely. Efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge With a weight of 3.7 pounds plus a battery of 1.4 pounds, it is somewhat heavier than its rivals, but it is designed for two-handed operation. There have been a few issues with jamming, particularly with the use of cheap collated screws. We would recommend Makita’s own screws for consistent performance. Drywall Screwdriver with BL™ Motor delivers 0-4,000 RPM to handle a variety of drywall and framing applications

Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating Ahead, we explain the key features of these tools and look at some real-world examples to help you find the best drywall screw gun for your needs. Tool users who unplug the cord with Makita 18V LXT® experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Makita created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world’s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. Makita’s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards – and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT® technology, Makita 18V LXT® tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries. [Learn More] The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life An important feature of most drywall screw guns is the nose cone, which surrounds the gun’s screwdriver bit. As the screw is driven into the drywall sheet, the nose cone provides a depth stop, so the screw head is sunk just below the surface (to be hidden by filler), but not driven too deep.The main thing that restricts working speed when hanging drywall, even with auto mode, is the need to load each drywall screw individually. The fix for this is either a collated screw attachment or an auto-feed gun. The first is a device that is attached to the front of the drywall screw gun, allowing it to feed collated screws (screws held together in a magazine with a plastic or paper strip). With no need to fit screws manually, screws can be driven much faster, but the attachment can be removed if not needed. An auto-feed gun has a full-time magazine feed and can be more compact and lighter than a combined gun and attachment. However, they are more expensive. A clutch often works in conjunction with the nose cone, disengaging the drive when the screw reaches the desired depth. Weight and Ergonomics
