Roz Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I was thinking of hiring but then as I will need to use again, perhaps buying something is more sensible. I would like to get something by Thursday / Friday... any of these do the job of fixing plasterboard to battens?

Construction Channel Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Do you already own any cordless tools? If so possibly look if they make one. If not senco are a very good tool, but I agree I personally would want cordless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg in power or weight orrrr whatever we have a Makita but have heard the makita version of this might be a bit unreliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You could use it for a lot more than plasterboard. Eg Cladding. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they jam sometimes but as long as you sort it on the first jam they are fine. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I’d stay away from the senco They where one of the first But haven’t really come on Hilti are light years ahead of the others A corded is about 120 quid and a collated end about 90 2 year no qible guarantee I use them for two years then stick them on eBay for £100 Same with the batterie kits But not worth buying for one job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've got the 18v dewalt one - brilliant. Its resting now before the final bit of boarding. Its not for sale! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was about the three eBay Senco ones in your first post; all three are 110 volt so would need a site transformer (one of those yellow blocks) to work off normal 230V mains.

Triassic Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Me and the labourer have just driven 2500 screws over the last two days. I hammer the screw in about 50mm and he followed on and drove them home. Not sure you need a collated driver for a self Build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I have the Senco one on the old Nicad batteries and it is a great bit of kit. Just make sure you change the drive bit regular and you are ok. @Triassichas a point but I have has mine for a few years and it has paid for itself many times over. Bought mine in the states so it was a lot cheaper as it was nearly two dollars to the pound then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv heard the term "the drivers just for taking them out" But have you really just hammered in 2.5k screws for the last 2 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC45 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I didn't use a collated driver - screws too expensive & my time is 'free'. Buy cheap buy twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
