Milwaukee2866-20 M18 FUEL Drywall Screw Gun (Bare Tool Only)

Great product

I recommend this screw gun. It makes putting up drywall easier and faster. The screw is in and reset perfectly before you know it. The gun works better for straight drives. If you have to put in the screw on an angle, like on an edge, then it doesn't work so well and sometime I had to finish it with a regular gun. The bit only works when pressure is put on it in either auto or manual screwing. The auto is really helpful when reaching to drive a screw and not having to pull the trigger. The pressure on the bit turns on the drill and drives it fast. I was really happy I bought it even though it was just for one job drywalling my garage.

Makes one handed sheet rock hanging easier.

It works pretty well. You just have to pull the trigger BEFORE engaging the drywall fastener like most every drywall gun. It does grind and make bad noises when screws go in at an angle and leaves the screw above the paper surface but it doesn't happen very often. Maybe 1 or 2 times out of 100. Overall I think its another decent Milwaukee tool. As far as where to get consumable parts for it like the phillips head driver bits??? Who knows. That's the only thing I don't like about this tool. Because when the one it comes with wears out the tool is useless unless you can get another bit. So consider that before you buy. But it did allow me to throw up sheetrock for a new bedroom in record time and every screw was at a perfect depth. I've been a carpenter for 22 years so your experience may be different. I wouldn't recommend this for someone that is a novice or that struggles with tools as they wont know how to use it and will be one of the people complaining it doesn't work or wont know how to set the depth.

I've been a contractor for the last 35 years. I've used more drywall guns than I can count. When I saw that Milwaukee had come out with a cordless drywall gun, I had to give it a shot. Let me say something to anyone who may be skeptical... This is the best gun I have ever used. No joke! I am simply amazed at how well this thing works & how little effort it takes to use it. My favorite feature is the fact that, just like most drywall guns, you can lock the switch on, BUT, this gun works differently. When you lock this baby on, the motor doesn't run until it feels pressure at the tip. At first I figure this was a bad idea thinking the gun would need to get up to speed before sinking a screw but not the case at all. Lock it on, throw a screw on it, & just touch the drywall.... ZIP... in & done! I really couldn't be happier with this thing. You can literally hold it by the battery above your head & sink a perfect screw every time! Outstanding item! Way to go Milwaukee!!!!!!!

Bought this to speed up my sheetrock install. I've had this over two years and still works as good as the day I got it. It has two differentsettings. Definitely recommend

I’ve used corded versions of this before and always resorted back to my impact driver. I have a lot of Milwaukee tools and wanted to give this a try since I already had the battery to see if it would help speed up my project. It’s very light weight and well balanced. I’m still trying to get the hang of it with installing 5/8 Sheetrock on a ceiling but I really like this tool. It is faster than using my impact but not by much. I still really like this tool since it does stop you from over sinking the screw. Best advice I can give you is to only press the trigger when you have the drill tip depressed onto the screw. This unit is not very forgiving if you are not perfectly straight when sinking a screw. When you hear a grinding noise when you are sinking a screw, it’s best to stop and start over…or you are going to burn through replacement drill tips. The drill bit that came with the tools is very durable and will last you a while but order some replacements anyway.

Great, easy to use, go buy one. You will not regret it.
