If you make a living as a professional drywall installer, getting your hands on a high-quality drywall screwgun, such as the DeWalt 20V Max Drywall Screwgun, is a great idea. It’s on sale for $132 at the moment — down from its regular retail price of $179 — and it can help you drive drywall screws accurately every time. However, if you’re a DIYer hanging drywall in your home, you should know that you don’t necessarily need to splurge on a brand-new power tool to get the job done.
Instead, why not go with the DeWalt Drywall Screw Setter Bit Tip, which normally costs $6 but is on sale for only $3 at Amazon right now? It’s designed to turn any cordless drill or impact driver into a drywall screwgun, so you don’t have to buy one separately. And when you view the deal through this lens, you won’t just be saving $3 on a bit tip; you’ll potentially be saving yourself anywhere from $129 to $176 on a DeWalt drywall screwgun.
Selling FastAt first glance, DeWalt’s innovative bit tip might not look like much, but it can help you polish off DIY drywall installation projects significantly quicker than you could otherwise. It’s a 1-inch bit tip made from shock-resistant steel that attaches to most drills and impact drivers, transforming them into screwguns in an instant.
The bit tip has a collar that can help you drive screws into drywall at the precise depth, so you don’t leave them poking out or drive them too deep and tear the drywall’s paper. It’s also heat-treated to prevent breakage, and while there is a bit of a learning curve, most reviewers agree it’s incredibly easy to use once you get the hang of it.
“It’s perfect for hanging drywall,” one reviewer wrote. “It assures that you’ll never drive screws in too deep, ripping up the paper. It screws them in just a bit below the surface.”
“It works like a charm,” another reviewer remarked. “I used it for hanging drywall in my basement, and it made spackling later so much easier. I would definitely recommend it to DIYers.”
