Palm Size Drywall Screwgun

One of the most common do-it-yourself projects is hanging drywall. This is a project many homeowners take on themselves, especially if they have construction experience. One tool that should be in your toolbox for this purpose is a palm size drywall screwgun. Drywall takes a lot of screws. For example, a large construction crew can use thousands of screws. Imagine putting them in one by one and you will see the necessity of a screwgun. There are all kinds of different designs on the market, many of them palm sized which fit are made to fit perfectly in your hand.


When using one of these tools it helps to know a little more about how they work and the right way to use them. A drywall screwgun situates the bugle heads of the screws right below the surface of the drywall paper. When pressure to the bit is applied, the clutches engage. When pressure is released, the clutches release. It is important to adjust the bit depth to ensure it sets the screws exactly where they are supposed to be. The right way to use a screwgun is to clutch it firmly as you insert your screws. When pulling the trigger on the tool push it forward to engage the clutch, and make sure to keep the pressure on so the screw will set correctly.

There are all kinds of screwguns on the market today. They range from budget priced to expensive. Most any hardware or home improvement store will carry a range of tools such as this one from a variety of different manufacturers. For example, some top manufacturers of screwguns and other tools include Bosch, DeWalt and Milwaukee to name just a few. If you don't already have a brand in mind a little comparison shopping is in order.

Before heading to the store to purchase a palm size drywall screwgun, get online and look for objective user reviews. On sites like Amazon and Epinions you can find out what real consumers thought about the product. This can help you make the right choice for your needs. Make a list of the products that interest you the most and take it shopping with you. Of course you can always shop online, which is a convenient way to buy your tools. Either way, you'll find a screwgun to be a must when installing drywall.
