Thanks Jeff. Yeah your right this DeWalt collated feels really good. And possibly smoother than the others. I will see when I put them against each other. Just need a new tip for the Makita to make it fair
Another Great review video, Thank you! Some of your previous videos helped convince me to step up to a collated screw gun system for drywall installations (even though it's only about 10-15% of my typical workflow) but the speed & convenience gains are very significant; especially on large projects & where one-handed operation is necessary. Every time I use it, I'm glad I made the investment, plus there always seems to be at least one person on the job site who's never seen a collated system in action & is amazed by the fastening speed, which I'll admit is a nice bonus. That said, I've got the dewalt kit & had the same issue with screw misalignment on my first few jobs, but found a pretty simple solution. Aside from the depth adjustments, The key to eliminating this issue is to avoid using the collated attachment in tight corners or anywhere that you can't smoothly press & drive the screw straight into a stud in one fluid motion, as well as, ensuring you're screw strips always have adequate slack between the bottom guide and the tip. If you do have amisfire just manually reallign the next screw on the strip with the tip & you're good. Aside from that, this gun rocks! It's Super-Fast, smooth, lightweight, comfortable & seems to run forever on a single 2Ah battery!! Be advised, with the collated attachment, ONLY Dewalt's Proprietary (extra skinny) P2 style bits are compatible. Therefore, users are pretty much limited to drywall use only, as Dewalt doesn't sell any Torx or Robertson tipped bits which are commonly used for most high volume wood applications like flooring etc. Thanks again!
Hey thanks very much Brian. Yeah the battery lasts ages even the small one. Glad you running collated. So much better when your struggling with a sheet over your head. Thanks again man. Please subscribe and keep in touch. Max
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Oscar Jamal thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I like that it doesnt come with a battery and charger because if you already own dewalt platform your not forced to buy extra stuff you already own. But the bulky head would make it very difficult not to leave clickers in the corners. Other than that, great tool. Thanks for the review
Thanks Rob your right mate. I was on the platform years ago then I gave mine away to an apprentice. Then I got that paint sprayer. They have a 18v heat gun as well that just got released here. You seen it?
@@Maxkil ive seen the graco sprayer that runs off dewalt but not the heat gun. The sprayer is cool i just think its a little overpriced. Its like $700 here and for that price you can just buy an airless sprayer
@@Maxkil i almost forgot to ask. I see the battery gracco spray is siphon fed, when you used it did you try to spay upside down? Just wondering if it will suck up air and spit paint?
First of all guys I like the video but to be honest you're holding the gun wrong if you look at the gun it has two grooves at the very top of the handle those grooves are meant for your index finger and your thumb what that does is it creates a straight shaft through your wrist it allows you to drive the screws nice and straight with one hand much more productive and faster I hope to see that attachment come to the United States I've been waiting for it for a long time love the video keep up the good reviews just remember slide your hand further up on that handle of the gun put your index finger and your thumb at the very top while holding the handle you will be a lot faster
Looks like you must keep the tool 90 degrees going in because if its not, the angle could drive it into the guard on the end. The directions most likely will mention it.
Id like to know what 1 1/4 collated screw cost down there, but in canada they're quite expensive..... oh and the grabber superdive n7, is a lot lighter, not as bulky, and tip is finer to get into tight spots.....and fits dewalt.
How can you use it if the screw doesn't quite go in as far as you need it to on just the occasional one screw per 30. Can you drive it any further or is it prohibited by the next screw being fed up? Can you quickly remove the attachment to use it like a normal gun for corners and weird places like that?
I can see using the coilated just to get sheets hung on ceilings etc. Then the second guy uses a traditional gun and loose screws to drive in the rest perhaps. But the speed at which he puts them with the attachment is unmatched by any hand driver I have seen.
I Think the dewalt and the makita wil be a close call. But the dewalt wil win for shure. The dewalt tape measure would be nice to add to my collection. Because we can’t buy this tape measure in the Netherlands.
Maxkil same here I live in USA but I was wondering if you got them online for cheaper. They’re a little pricey over here. I was just asking to see if you knew where they sell them for cheap. (Over here $18 for 1000 collated screws) I get boxes of screws from the company I work for (8000 screws a box) 18 x 8= $144. Typically a box of screws (8,000) runs me 50-60$.
I own all 3 guns. DeWalt is nice and ergonomical BUT its useless in internals. The tip of the head is too wide. They need to narrow it a bit. Makita is better on timber frames and when gunning battens to the trusses. In all other aplications the Hilti wins. Heavy gauge steel and screwing denser sheets like villaboard, firecheck and soundcheck the Hilti is best.
It's absolute best is tak-ing on ceiling board, around windows, doors, walls, and I'm not talking about inside the board;just to keep it in place and move on . Drywall, and 5/8s. All that other stuff CRP said is is obviously not related to drywall.
Its what I use on a daily basis. They all have there pros and cons.
They are all great products.

@Oscar Jamal It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
Makita. Hasn't let me down in 10 years
who gives a shit? it doesn't matter what brand it's the craftsmen. these idiots all think it's a race. what are we all complete slaves

DEWALT...CANADA....GO.GO.GO!

I will try that next time. Makes sense! Thanks for watching. Surprised they don't have the attachment yet there
I have a dewalt and a few problems and makita last been good to used but havnt used as much as dewalt, so my vote will go to Dewalt.
Looks like you must keep the tool 90 degrees going in because if its not, the angle could drive it into the guard on the end. The directions most likely will mention it.
Hey Thomas I think your absolutely correct. Got to be square on when going in and I was a little to relaxed in doing so
Dewalt for sure .
Id like to know what 1 1/4 collated screw cost down there, but in canada they're quite expensive..... oh and the grabber superdive n7, is a lot lighter, not as bulky, and tip is finer to get into tight spots.....and fits dewalt.
I'm a DIYer and have the dewalt and it's never let me down! For the challenge I reckon the hilti will take the choccies
Awesome review mate!

which is better first or second gen? Im about to buy one and have been told to get the 1st gen 201. So im trying to get some opinions.
I'm going with the wall, since that's the line of tools I use
DEWALT GANG!!!!
does this thing screw deck screws
COLLATED SCREWS ARE 3X THE COST OF LOOSE, 140USD VS 45USD FOR 8,OOO CT
We reload the plastic strips.
I can see using the coilated just to get sheets hung on ceilings etc. Then the second guy uses a traditional gun and loose screws to drive in the rest perhaps. But the speed at which he puts them with the attachment is unmatched by any hand driver I have seen.
Near 80 bucks at my supplier.

Hilti all day me thinks
Why are you here ?
Saludos desde Perú..... Acá no venden esa herramienta....
Where do you buy the screws ???
They sell them in nearly any store here

Definitely hilti regardless
DeWALT win
Bosses don't buy the stripscrews for individual workers who have the attachment here
Dewalt
110v Makita 6000 rpm
Hilti will win
Makita 💪
Do the screws work with metal studs or just lumber?
These ones just timber but can get the metal ones.
you holding it wrong use your ringfinger and pinky for the trigger
You guys hiring?
What can you bring to the party?
Makita. Dewalt looked good, though.
I own all 3 guns.
DeWalt is nice and ergonomical BUT its useless in internals. The tip of the head is too wide. They need to narrow it a bit.
Makita is better on timber frames and when gunning battens to the trusses. In all other aplications the Hilti wins.
Heavy gauge steel and screwing denser sheets like villaboard, firecheck and soundcheck the Hilti is best.
Yeah I thought so. Seemed a little fat. Haven't tried an internal with it yet
Yeah I think you summed it up pretty well. Thanks for your info
It's absolute best is tak-ing on ceiling board, around windows, doors, walls, and I'm not talking about inside the board;just to keep it in place and move on . Drywall, and 5/8s. All that other stuff CRP said is is obviously not related to drywall.
DEWALT
Makita definitely wins in corners because of the attachment design. But I think Hilti wins on flat surface.
You hold the gun way to far down
LMAO 20 comments left by complete drywall NERDS HAHAHAHAH
makita
I know guys that still swear on nails!
Well the earth is flat as well
Just saying
And all the time is spend fixing the tool...
Too much talking nonsense, like the sound of his own voice. Demo could have been done and dusted in 5 mins
My bad bro
Let's get to hanging so sheetrock show what you are working with
