High Speed Screw Gun
Milwaukee Tools
The M18 FUEL Drywall Screw Gun is capable of driving screws faster and providing three times longer run-time than other models. With Auto Start engaged and the trigger locked on, the motor only starts when the screw contacts the drywall. This results in no unnecessary motor noise between screws and up to three times longer run-time. Ultimately, this gives the user the ability to use the tool the same way users use their corded guns, but with the portability benefits of cordless. By combining the brushless motor, battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence, the tool drives screws faster than corded at 4,500 RPMs. When equipped with an M18 XC5.0 Battery Pack, the gun can consistently fasten up to (64) 4x8 and 5/8-inch sheets of work on a full charge.

Collated Screw System
Metabo HPT
The W6V4SD2 SuperDrive Collated Screw System delivers the combination of speed and power to tackle any drywall to wood or drywall to metal installations. It produces a maximum speed of 4,500 RPM and a torque rating of 81.5 in-pounds, making drywall installs much faster, easier and efficient. The gear case and inner cover are constructed out of aluminum to add durability and increase tool life. A plastic cover keeps the gear case from being scratched or damaged during extreme use. The 24.6 foot power cord is unusually long to allow movement without the hassle of relocating to different power outlets. This tool is compatible with the LOX Bit System which provides 8 points of contact between the bit and the screw. The system requires less downward force from the user to maintain torque and contact, minimizing fatigue and reducing bit slippage. For more information, visit metabo-hpt.com.
