Going to be drywalling a few rooms in my basement. I don't want to spend
the money on a drywall Gun. Is there an attachment that you can put on a
regular drill that achieves the same thing?

Thanks,

Or the one with the built in clutch release?

Spend the money on the drywall gun.

I picked up a Dewalt from HD for around $60. The drywall bit for a
normal drill was almost half that, looked like it might last one job if
I was lucky, and lacked the depth adjustment.

And don't run a drywall screw through your finger. It hurts.

Second this suggestion. It's like $5 for a bag of four I think and they
work very well in an ordinary cordless drill / driver after a minute of
practice. I sheetrocked my 20'x32' shop with them with no issues.

If your paying $30 per drywall bit then I have some swamp land, perfect to
build on, available for sale!

Third that suggestion for occasional projects of reasonable size.

Going to be drywalling a few rooms in my basement.

Not sure what a few rooms is. A basement I had once had one room...but it
was 1300 sf.

No, but you really don't need it. Get a drywall bit to help.

Whaaaaa???? They cost about $2. I wouldn't buy a gun for one job, that's
weird.

Yes, there is. I have seen two models, a fancy magnetic attachment that
seems a little prone to breaking down - runs for about $25CDN or an
inexpensive plain drywall bit for about $3CDN. I believe they are both
available at Home Depot, so there is a good chance they are available
pretty much everywhere.
