        Can this gun be used to correctly install screws into corrugated roofing metal?

        Answer This Question

        This gun is meant for driving screws through drywall, pine studs, and very thin metal studs, setting screws at a specific depth. It’s not designed for driving through heavy sheet metal.

        By|Mar 23, 2021

        No because this tool is designed to set the screw just below the surface also it will not work wi th hex head type fasteners.

        By|Mar 23, 2021

        Yes , you will have to set the depth gauge to not sink screw through the roof metal

          can it install deck boards
          ByOct 15, 2018

          Answer This Question

          No , it's not designed for that type of work.

          By|Apr 9, 2020

            This is a good versatile screw gun. Intended for screwing drywall to wood or metal studs, but can handle screwing many substrates. Be sure you are using the correct screw tip to match the screw you are using - #2, #3, etc.

            By|Oct 16, 2018

              This screw gun is designed to rapidly set s drywall screw that encounters little resistance. You would need a screw gun for decking operating at much lower rpm and quite a bit higher torque. Using a drywall gun for decking will result in torqued-off screw heads or cammed out screws and broken Phillips bits.

              Yes, powerful enough to sink the screw in.

              By|Mar 18, 2021

                No, you have to install the deck boards yourself. However, this will do a fantastic job of putting in the screws to hold the boards down.

                  No! 120 volt only.

                  By|May 5, 2023

                    No

                    By|May 5, 2023

                    No, 120v only.

                    By|May 5, 2023

                    All DeWalt corded drywall screw guns are designed for 110 to 120 volt standard house power only.

                    By|May 5, 2023

                    No, this unit only works with 120VAC.

                    By|May 5, 2023


                      Can you use the star or square tipped bits that come with boxes of screws or does the bit need a special shank to be held in the scrugun.

                      Yes, they all work.

                      (1)

                      Provided the bits are 1 inch long and the standard 1/4 inch drive, they will work.

                      (2)

                      Yes you can. But remember this tool is designed for the installation of DRYWALL nothing else.

                        yes, use the tips made for the screw you are using.

                            Can this gun be used for installing half inch backer boards such as hardie board or durock?

                            I believe this gun will work on cement backer board but you’ll want to carefully adjust the screw depth so as not to damage the cement core.

                            Yes, I have installed cement board, drywall and deck boards with this gun. It has an adjustable clutch just for that

                            (3)

                            I would think so

                              (1)

                              Yes, just set the depth gauge so it does not screw all the way through.

                                The drywall screwgun is very durable. I buy these for our drywall hangers and rarely do they break down.
