Default I Have An Excuse! Which Cordless Hammerdrill / Drill / Driver?

Subject: I Have An Excuse! Which Cordless Hammerdrill / Drill / Driver?
From: Mark Jerde
Newsgroups: rec.woodworking

In 6 weeks to 2 months I'm going to help my brother put up drywall in the
house he's building. My HF and 13.2 v "FireStorm" cordless drill/drivers
aren't up to the task of putting drywall screws into 2x4's so (Yipee!!) I'm
looking for something I can use for (hopefully) many years.


Hard to credit that the 13.2 Firestorm is too gutless to put in drywall screws.
We used my 9.6V and my 12V Panasonic concurrently and they both did the job
without complaints. Well, maybe that explains the huge difference in price
grin.

Anyway, like most of the others I can also recommend the corded drywall drivers
that take the belts of screws. The one we borrowed was a bit shagged so we had
to use the cordless drills in the difficult corners, but for working overhead
and quickly driving lots of screws those corded machines are great (we used a
Hitachi, b.t.w.) for ease of use as well as speed.
