comp56 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 for me higher RPM in fact they used to make a 5300 RPM model by Dewalt DW255 sole purpose is sheet rock metal/wood studs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 For drywall you really want to have higher rpm. I kinda bought the wrong model from Protool because I only looked at the 18v model (thinking 10.8v wasn't sufficient enough), but that has lower rpm and higher torque so you can use it for certain wood/wood applications as well.the 10.8v model had higher rpm and is solely for drywall. in a perfect world a drywall gun has both speed/torque settings, but I don't think any gun has that?!

BK13 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Left turn here, but how is a drywall screw gun different than a regular drill? RPM? Torque? Can you use a regular drill if you aren't doing much drywall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 sure you can use a dimpler and attach it to your drill, but they wear out.so you might end up buying 5 or 10 dimpler for about $5-10 eachalso a drywall gun lays better in your hand, for example for overhead work.I actually never used one before, but mine will arrive today.bought the SG450 from HomeDepot.com and now amazon has the special sale, $25 off $100 purchase selected tools.lucky that the screw gun counts towards it. I will return that gun at my local HD and buy it from amazon.comI save about $36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK13 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yep, after seeing what it did to a buddy, I don't ever want to do enough drywall to justify that piece of equipment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 If u need it, the manufactures are aware. And they will feel free to empty your wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
