Makita XSF03Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Drywall Screwdriver (Bare Tool Only)

Product Information

Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately) 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. LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator Autofeed Screwdriver Magazine features a collated screw length capacity range from 1" to 2-3/16" for increased versatility

A faster, more accurate solution is DeWalt’s 20V Cut-Out Tool, which is specifically intended as both a drywall drill and cutter. The brushless motor runs at 26,000 rpm, and the ergonomic design makes for easy control. There is a built-in depth gauge, tool-free bit changing, and an LED work light. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating Efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge Variable speed control switch provides easier operation for fine adjustment of screw depth without locator Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately)The BL™ Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL™ Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life DeWalt is another brand renowned for well-made, professional-standard power tools. Its 20V drywall screw gun has a brushless motor with a speed of 4,400 rpm. At 2.7 pounds, it is a fraction heavier than the Milwaukee, though the batteries are lighter, so the all up weight difference is negligible. The tool has a soft-grip handle and good ergonomics. Drywall Screwdriver with BL™ Motor delivers 0-4,000 RPM to handle a variety of drywall and framing applications 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.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. Push Drive™ Technology delivers increased efficiency, longer run time and lower noise for drywall fastening . With Push Drive™ the motor starts only when the fastener is engaged with the work piece, so battery power is used more efficiently for significantly longer run time. Contractors benefit from less downtime charging batteries, and from a quieter work environment since the motor runs only during fastening. 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. Weight 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.
