Below is a transcript of the video. Some of my comments are in the parenthesis. Conclusion to follow 1. Hold upright and depress the bitload button 2. Drop the bit into the feed housing 3. While still holding the bit load button depress the nose piece with the palm of your opposite hand to center the bit. (By the way the actor never uses his palm at all in the demo) 4. Cycle the nose piece up and down while gently shaking the tool until the bit drops into place. (What does this really mean?) 5. Later it says feed screw strip into guide. (The first thing that happened when I did this is that the strip went right into the spring and got stuck there!) It took me one stab of the but into the palm of my hand to see why the actore in this video did not put his palm over the center of the bit. He probably got stuck too. Then it says cycle the nose piece. What does that mean, - Keep doing it till it falls into place. I tried this and it took over 50 attempts for the bit to "fall into place." Why should we have to shake the tool until the bit falls into place in the first place. Who designed this tool, Donald Duck? The idea is to make the procedure fast and easy. SO now everytime I inset a bit and also everytime I finish a strip I have to go through this same trial and error procedures? No way. Design it better and I will think about using this piece of equipment.
I haven’t had any problem loading the bits. You have to guide the strip into the nose piece. To load the strip I cradle the gun in my left arm like a baby, then I can use both hands to guide the screw strip into the guide at the handle And nose piece.
I bought this gun to screw down a sub floor. Performance hasn’t been great. Many screws do not drive flush. Many are missed completely. I’m trying to decide if it’s, me, the gun or the screws. Screws are 1 3/4 square drive, Grip Rite brand. Anybody else have similar issues or comments.
even when I am putting all of my body weight on it, the nose piece doesn't always depress enough to engage the screw with the bit. yes I set the depth for the screw size appropriately
Neither of the clowns below could report back and tell us if Rigid helped them, complaining is easy, how about sharing your experiences after you got support?
I get mine from Home Depot. Caution! There are two types of screws, fine thread for metal studs and coarse thread for wood studs. You have to look closely one the bucket they come in, poorly marked!
It's not supposed to start spinning until you press it against the surface of what you're screwing into. That's part of what makes these tools easier than using a regular drill.
Make sure the drill is running in the forward direction. I'm left handed and the reersing switch often shifts to reverse. A give away to this is the wood burns and the screw is coated with burnt wood resin.
would of been nice to actually the finished driven screw. The ones shown @ 2:36 dont look flush which concerns me. Do I then have to go back and screw them down ? Then if so, this tool is useless.

And nose piece.
Mine hasn’t worked properly from the day I bought it. I tried every possible solution. It is a known lemon. Big mistake buying this.

Clearly there’s and issue or jam. I find steady pressure alforfón smooth operation.

Keeps jamming on me. How to unload, so I can try a new strip?
Excellent machine The screws are loaded on the plastic that holds them or a strip of pure lace is already coming. Thank you.
That is, the screws must be loaded manually on the plastic that holds them?
In short, the plastic that holds the screws is discarded?
My bit doesn't go all the way down for some reason
Where do I get the screw strip?
I get mine from Home Depot. Caution! There are two types of screws, fine thread for metal studs and coarse thread for wood studs. You have to look closely one the bucket they come in, poorly marked!
I have non problem, the screwdriver tool work perfect for.
How do you clear a jam
Cordless option available?
Yes there is.
mine jams a lot, or spits the screws out
Mine as well. Going to call customer service to see if they can figure it out. The screw goes sideways and jambs on the head.
Mine does too. So frustrating. Bought this to make my project faster, but so far it is costing me a lot of time with the constant jamming.
My bit doesn't spin. What could me the issue?
It's not supposed to start spinning until you press it against the surface of what you're screwing into. That's part of what makes these tools easier than using a regular drill.
I have this same screwgun and it doesn't sink in the screw
The coluhlated?
Hahahaha
are the long bits expensive to replace? and do they wear out as fast as a standard bit?
Luke Morter bits about $5, wear out often, garbage tool, I'm returning mine
I just shot 3,000 screws mine did ok
I did all this video said to do and the screw gun won't sink screws I adjusted the depth meter an't it's still a quarter inch out.
Make sure the drill is running in the forward direction. I'm left handed and the reersing switch often shifts to reverse. A give away to this is the wood burns and the screw is coated with burnt wood resin.
If you watch the video demonstration the screws didn’t drive in flush then either, lol.
Not worth the money. Won’t drive screws all the way down. Leaves them an eight above work surface
You can see at 2:33 that the screws are not driven flush (and that sux).
would of been nice to actually the finished driven screw. The ones shown @ 2:36 dont look flush which concerns me. Do I then have to go back and screw them down ? Then if so, this tool is useless.
They aren't supposed to be flush, drywall screws should be sunken slightly below the surface. Not too far or you'll bury the screw and tear the paper.
The?
