4.0 out of 5 stars Love it so far, January 26, 2003

By	Greg Ebel (Lincoln NE, USA) - See all my reviews

I have recently purchased this Dewalt Cordless Screw Gun. I run a drywall company and my tools get used and I mean really used. I have had this Cordless Screw Gun for a month and a half now and I really love it. It has elliminated a cord clutting up the job site and rotating the batteries I can use it continuously throughout the day. It took a while to get used to the slower RPM's compared to the corded screw gun that I am used to. The only reason that I would not give this tool five stars is because I do not know about its durability. Hopefully it will stand up to repeated use. I will update my review in six months. But as of right now I would say that this tool is well worth your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it so far, January 26, 2003

By	Greg Ebel (Lincoln NE, USA) - See all my reviews

I have reasantly bought this screw gun. It took a little while to adjust to the slower RPM's compared to my corded screw gun but now that I am used to it I love it. The only reason I would not give it five stars is because I do not know about its durability. It has done away with the need for one cord and that is a big plus as anyone in the construction business knows.

5.0 out of 5 stars irreplaceble tool, September 3, 2004

By	J. P. Bontrager (Ft. Wayne, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this gun has been a constant part of my tool inventory for over 8 years now. the dewalt dw979-k is a hard tool to beat in the metal stud framer's/drywaller's world. the combination of the speed, weight and versatility of this screwgun is unrivaled on any commercial jobsite in my opinion. i demand more than i should from this gun, but it has never let me down. dropped from the top of a 22' parapit wall, my dw979-k is still running strong. i am on the third set of batteries for my dw979-k and the trigger is finally developing a short in it, this thing just wont die. a very durable, reliable companion, i just wont do without one.
