Hi all
I am fitting out my extension we built last summer I need to put in
about 7000 screws ranging from drywall to 4 inch.
Is the Dewalt 18 volt drill/driver up to the job- I see one on Ebay.My
present B&D 18volt is on its last legs after a summer of heavy use.

Forget Dewalt if you want something with endurance they aint that good,
they just look pretty. Have a look at the Metabo BSZ 18 Cordless
Drill/Driver it will out last most others and has electronic torque
control, which increases the power at low speeds. Ideal for longer
screws such as 4".

I would forget that and get an Impact Driver. The right tool for the right
job.


Impact drivers are more suited to using sockets for loosening or tightening
nuts and bolts and hex headed coach screws, not for slotted or cross head
wood screws and dry wall screws.

If you really want to recommend something useful you could of suggested a
dedicated dry wall screwdriver.
