The official policy says that they do not. I was told this by a manager after she approved the PM. HD just matched, not 10% less, but who cares at this price.

Definitely YMMV.

Cordless defeats the purpose of this tool. If you’re hanging a few sheets get a driver and bit. That way you have a multi purpose tool for later. If you’re hanging a lot of sheets, get a cordless drywall gun. There’s no reason to buy this.

I’d rather have corded so that I don’t have the weight of the battery. It gets tiring. Same reason to not use the drywall bit in a regular 18V drill. One of those mini 12V drills may work, although I haven’t tried it myself.

Used this to hang drywall for my entire house during my reno. Sure the wire is a bit cumbersome but it wouldn't be enough to put me off from buying this. It's a great tool and does what it's supposed to do at a very fair price.

Do you work in the industry or were you reading online reviews? For professional drywallers I would guess that many would consider this slightly underpowered. For those users, speed is vital and when you are drilling 1000's of these nails a day, these small differences in performance matter.

For DIYers, this tool is a no brainer, especially at this price. If you want to attach drywall properly, a drywall screw is the best way to go. Using a drill/impact drill with a bit is not recommended as it's much harder to control depth which is critical when handing drywall and the reason the pros use drywall guns.

For myself, I needed one for my garage, my basement (when I get around to that job!) and general drywall repairs. I would have paid the full price of this tool to make sure the nails were set correctly so getting it at this price is fantastic.

How do these guns control the depth? I assume going into wood studs in a non issue, do these also work on metal studs?

That's how I see it, if I were professional drywaller I would be getting the best tool possible, doesn't matter if it costs 10 or 20 times more, one job would cover it and then some. For DIY this should do, and at this price it's a no brainer.

There is a depth gauge setting at the front of the gun that allows you to control how deep the nail is driven into the drywall. The following review shows you how the depth is changed...



I believe these drywall guns are ok for metal studs as long as you have the right fastener.

Using same model for my basement reno, one time setting it up testing on a scrap drywall, and until now "25 drywalls later" it never gave me a single issue.
Stay strong, situation always looks harder and that it will never end when you are in the middle of it, but remember past experiences, everything has an ending.

Used this on the basement ceiling fastening drywall to resilient channel and it worked flawlessly.

Do you happen to be doing clips and channel for sound proofing? If so, what screws did you use for the channel?

For soundproofing i installed rockwool safe and sound in between joists them screwed the resilient channel to the joists using coarse thread drywall screws, then used 1 1/4" fine thread drywall screws to fix the drywall to the channel. Just be sure not to hit the joists when screwing in the drywall. Note that i used 5/8" drywall. For 1/2" drywall use 1" screws.
