2.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works, December 10, 2003

This review is from: Quik Drive QD2000SDS 1-1/2" - 3" Self Feed Screwgun (Misc.)

Bought this screw gun to screw down subflooring on a house addition. Thought it would make a multiple day job on my knees , a one day job standing up. When it worked, the screw gun was great. Drove most screws flush. But it would soon start to strip screws and not drive them all the way in. I figured out that the bits were getting worn fast. As soon at the bit became worn, it wouldn't drive the screws all the way. Each box of screws comes with 2 bits, but that's not enough to even drive half a box - and the bits are small (special) not the standard 1/4 inch hex bits and hard to change out. I would recommend buying a couple of packs of bits for each box of screws you buy. I've got a drywall job coming up and I'll give it another chance, but right now I really wish I hadn't purchased this tool.

Bad Points:
-----------

- My 1st QuikDrive unit did not work out-of-the-box, had multiple problems with the driving unit including screw strips that jammed, and a depth adjustment that would not rotate properly

- Driving Unit on the QD 2000 is a cheaper form of the one available on their pro unit

- Screw Strips come in lengths of only 30, requiring frequent changes [you'll need several just to get through a single sheet of plywood]

- It is difficult to find local retailers that carry the screw strips. Home Depot, [most] Lowe's, and Sears do not carry them

- DeWalt drill that comes with the kit is known to have a weak clutch that wears out sooner than their Pro models which use a Makita drill

- Instructions are too brief, do not provide a parts list or inventory, and include assembly instructions but not actually *operating* instructions

- Bits not always easy to remove, and are non-standard (you can't use the regular bits that are available for drills, you must use a QuikDrive bit)


Good Points:
------------

- When it works it saves you a ton of time and energy, and is consistent with the depth it drives screws

- QuikDrive customer service is excellent

- Comes with two nozzles so that you can drive screws up to 3" in length

5.0 out of 5 stars Paid for itself on first job!, March 8, 2004

This is a great labor saving tool that I have used extensively. The Quik Drive works great if you just play by the same rules you would use with any screw gun. DON'T LET THE BIT GRIND! Quik Drive includes 2 free bits in every box of screws and this is more than enough if you don't let the bit spin and round off in the screw head. I can typically get through several boxes of screws on one bit. Stay on it and follow through, remember this is a screw gun and not a nail gun. If you start having trouble, check the bit and replace it if it is rounded. Do this and with a little practice, you can save 50-80% of your labor. This is one of the best tools I have ever used!
