4.0 out of 5 stars Screwing drywall, Made Easy, July 8, 2000

This review is from: DEWALT DW979K 12 Volt Cordless Pistol Grip Drywall/Deck Screwdriver Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this tool over a year ago. I work for a residetial remodeling company. We don't hang drywall on a daily basis. But we do it on most of the jobs we have. I have a corded screw gun, but most of the time it gets in the way. So I tried to find a cordless screw gun locally but I was unable to do so. I found Tool Crib while earching the web. I called them up and got the drill. I was pleasently surprised at how well the tool worked. I used it on a few jobs at work and was very pleased. I would recomed this tool to any one who does drywall, or any job that requires a corded driver drill.

I am a full time drywall installer and have owned one of these screw guns for about 4 years. I use it in place of a corded gun so it gets used almost constantly. I have had it repaired several times (trigger&transmission) but it was relatively inexpensive when the amount of use I have gotten out of it is figured in. The only complaints I have is the slower speed and the need for a more adequate cooling system, otherwise I love this thing.
