I was cool hand Luke by the time I was done installing only 2 sheets of Hardie Board with an impact gun ..."don't make drive another screw boss" I begged myself. I"ve got about another 18 sheets to go and I'm going to buy one of those screw guns right now. Each 3'x5' sheet requires about 58 screws, and it is a timed event because of the thin-set mortar under each sheet. The volume level was loud as hell also, and each screw wanted to go in at a slight angle making getting the heads the right depth impossible. I hope my 4 ah batteries are going to be strong enough, I've made so many trips to HD I'm thinking about moving closer.
I have been installing drywall/sheetrock for 20 years. I agree that a proper drywall screwgun is important. I have tried various brands of drywall screwguns, including the Ryobi. I absolutely would not recommend the current version of their tool. Personally, I prefer the Dewalt. I currently have Dewalt, Hilti and Ridgid screwguns for my boarding crew.
@@manuelgomez2715 Ryobi is the cheaper version of ridgid. The two brands are linked somehow. Depth set nose cone on the ryobi is weak, lacking power, uncomfortable in the hand, when I was using the ryobi gun the battery options were very limited. I've 'gone through' other ryobi power tools as well, circular saw, oscillating tool, palm sander, etc. and they all disappointed me, most by complete failure. I'm a Dewalt man, I believe many of the other top brands also make solid tools...just not Ryobi, and that's why their line is cheaper, because it's 'cheaper '. Just my thoughts, but what do I know, I'm just a dumb@ss with a power tool! "Arr! Arr! More power!!" -Tim the tool man. 😆 Greetings from Canada's border city!🇨🇦
you didnt talk about the most important spec of the whole tool. the weight. dont care how consistant it is. if its heavy im not holding it above my head all day screwing off lids.
Since the motor already stops quite fast, then what's the point of the clutch? It's so you can keep the motor spinning all the time while speed-driving a series of screws, right? But then if that kind of motor is set up to stop on a dime anyway, what's the supposed advantage of keeping it spinning while doing a string of screws when you might go just as fast through them without keeping it spinning?
Thanks for a great video, is the drill bit magnetic to hold the screws in place and if it is, is it strong enough to hold the screw while side ways or up side down? Thanks again
Save your money!!! I have a lot of Ryobi battery tools, but I would NOT spend money on this gun!!! For professional use, buy Milwaukee or Makita. If you're a DYI guy or just doing a small project, DeWalt would be okay. But DeWalt breaks too easy for professional use where their drywall gun is concerned!
Hey! brother if you have time you could try that drywall screw gun on a half inch fiber cement board (Ficem board) on a 0.50mm metal stud. I am very grateful if you consider. Thanks in advance. God bless. "ryobifreak"
I am heavily invested in Ryobi tools, but I do not have the drywall gun. I need to research it a bit further. Thanks for the video.
This was like a Ryobi HP tool before Ryobi HP tools
I was gonna say, it's got a home in the cart, I sure hope it's a good tool
I'm a DIY'er, but this tool's worth it. It pays for itself with just 1 job.
You're a "DIY'er," eh? Why not just a DIYer?

Good luck!
Great video. I’ve been curious about this tool.
I might just give the drywall gun a go. Great video

Why not the RYOBI?

Hilti is the best drywall gun
awesome review!!!! thank you!!! well done!!!!

"...So you can just hold it."
Oh? Then what's gripping it by the "pistol" handle, also without squeezing the trigger, supposed to be called?

The magnet 🧲 in the bit holder don't work in the Ryobi drywall screwgun.
Could it be replace?
great video. Just got one and couldn't get the depth set.
the bit is not magnetic? I see you holding it every time
Does it have a reverse
It does have reverse and I was hoping to find out how to use the damn thing because it doesn't seem to work at all. No videos seem to cover it though.

yeah... I've seen the Dewalt in action and liked it a lot more than the Ryobi. Not impressed
Good for a back up .. Not as good as a hilti
Needs a magnetic tip
You're not even holding it right at all it's designed that way for a reason
