I am a weekend remodeler, engineer by day. I got into some drywalling and wanted to do it right. I dont like keeping track of all the different batteries I have floating around, so I want with the corded screwgun. The strip feed is really a godsend, since I usually am doing the tough work by myself. You would be amazed how productive you can get with one hand with this screw gun. Just watch, however:

-The longer screw bit for the autofeed attachment is NOT available at home depot or lowes - you will have to track down a specialty fastener store to buy them. I could not find them anywhere on-line;

-after you chew up the two screw bits that come with the screwgun, consider buying the square-drive screw bit with square-drive screws. You will reduce your damage rate to the screw bits - and they are very effective in giving you the required torque.

the change over between the screwgun with the autofeed and just a plain screw gun takes less than a minute. I am very pleased with this purchase.

DS200-s4 Worked well after glueing in the bit. The provided bit locks into the screw gun with a ball bearing and a grove around the bit. After about three screws being driven the bit would pull loose from the driver. I ended up glueing it in with gorillia glue. Contacted Senco and was provided no help. Senco agreed to send me a new bit, but the bit never came. Called Senco again, they provided no additional help. They basically said that this company probably removed the Senco bit and replaced it with a generic bit. Senco's only advise was to bring it to one of their authorized dealer, which is 25 miles from my home in the city of Philadelphia. Thanks Senco.

I installed 8 sheets of drywall, it worked well and then the tool stopped driving the screws through the wood. I THINK it's the bit, but I can't test that theory because the kit didn't come with an extra bit. If the bit is the problem, how is it possible that I will have to change a bit every 8 sheets of drywall. A 2 pack of bits costs $8. DO THE MATH.

I can tell you with 100% confidence to NOT buy this product, you will waste more money buying bits for this thing. POOR BUY on my part, I am very unhappy.
