Oh no! what have I done? Although Pocster will be proud of me

[Thorfun]

I needed a new collated drywall screwdriver and the black and gold version was discounted. I've started down the dark side! it's all @pocster's fault.

I'm just finishing my lunch then I'll be putting it to use!

It’s ace ! If you get too trigger happy you can jam a screw in there ( get the depth gauge at the head end right ) . Now you need to buy all the other black n gold dream machines !

It will be diamanté phone covers, go faster stripes and they/them pronouns next

it is indeed a good machine. I'm sure the Makita one would've done the job just as well but it wasn't discounted. 😉

Where did you find it discounted? I need one in a month or so.

but I got mine from Toolstation for a little bit more as it's local and can return easier if it ever develops a fault.

it is a lovely machine! 

 

 

I think I'm a convert @pocster

 

also had fun with the drywall screwdriver today

 

 

@MikeSharp01 and @crispy_wafer it certainly makes it a lot easier. I've had a few issues with screws not going in straight and even going enough sideways to screw into the guide at the nose of the screwdriver! I'm not sure if it's me and my technique or the machine. I'll persevere with it and see what happens. can always take it back to Toolstation for a replacement if it keeps happening. but I do honestly think it was beginners mishap.

Makita one jams way too many times. The guys working for me all have the DeWalt as you do. Good choice.

But ! You are now a Dewalt man ! . So you must honour the sanctum of the black n gold . There are multiple tasks you must perform before you are encapsulated in the clan

@MikeSharp01 and @crispy_wafer during my web surfing I came across this amazing deal

 

https://www.toolstop.co.uk/dewalt-dcf620p2k-collated-drywall-screwdriver-18v-cordless-brushless-2-x-5-0ah-batteries-p73474/

 

wish I'd found it sooner.

Not a bad deal, I'm trying not to spend money though  other than materials at the moment 🤣, but there are a few tools I need for simple one off jobs.  Yesterday I had to rip down some 4*2 taking a 45 degree cut so I could create a wedge to go in between 2 studs like video below, needed a table saw really, managed it with a jig and a skillsaw and plenty of work with the planer.  Otherwise I'm not sure ive got a need for a tablesaw.
