Arnold9801 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'm thinking of getting one of these as I have a lot of plasterboarding to do on our new build. Can anyone advise me on how they find them and if they're worth it? Thanks Arnold9801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 years ago bought a senco collated gun, great! still got it but i don't know how good the batteries are now, haven't started plasterboarding yet. bought a second hand makita from someone i know just in case. definately worth it.

Russell griffiths Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Depends what other tools you have, stick with the same battery configuration as the rest, I have the dewalt one and just put about 10,000 screws through it without any problem.

Hi Russ I take your point which is my intention anyway. Is there flexibility in terms of which collated screws you can use in your tool? Like I said I'm going to stick with Makita due to me having four makita batteries anyway. Now I'm looking at buying screws for these a d see them at various prices. I've got about 100x sheets to screw what with walls and ceilings, so is there any flexibility or do you have to buy Makita ones as any other just won't be compatible?

Arnold9801 Most screws work, but avoid very cheap ones, normally £20 a box roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
