Default Drywall screwdrivers

I have been looking at screwdrivers, and some are called "drywall
screwdrivers". What does "drywall" mean?


Dry wall is the process of fixing plasterboard to internal stud walls &
ceilings. No 'wet' plaster is used, hence 'dry wall' - allthough it is
often skimmed.

A drywall screwdriver is specifically designed for fixing the plasterboard,
it has a depth stop & a clutch which countersinks the screws to a constant &
predetermined depth.

Specialists tool.
