Customer Reviews for Milwaukee Collated Screw Gun Attachment

Hi, I just bought this attachment but they dd not have the proper screw strips. They didn't even know much about the screw strips and insisted I take Sampson screws so I did because it said on the Milwaukee box that it was compatible with all major brands. I got home 2 hrs away and there is no way the Sampson screws work. I thought how nice it would have been if Milwaukee had included a screw strip sample which would have shown the correct strips. Home Depot people don't seem to have the knowledge so now I'm sitting here wondering where the heck am I supposed to get the correct strips, ???

The difference between using the screw gun without this collated attachment is incredible. “Warp speed, Mr Scott!”, would be an understatement. And the mentality of SCREW-SCREW-SCREW versus fumble-fumble-drop-screw-fumble-screw is amazing also. I can be aggressive with my drywall hanging. I have had it my hands for about 3 hours and have run almost as much today as I did in about 8 hours last week. This is a Monday when writing

So first off the product works great, bought one to try in production facility, little confusing at first trying to figure out how to attach the 5.75" bit so it wasn't to long but, fortunately tech support was able to let me know the magnetic bit holder also comes out and did require some vise grips and a good yank to get out, due to the product being new.

This is hands down the best tool I’ve add to my Milwaukee set. Works great one screw after another flawless every time, and it gets used every week on the job. Not sure about any bad reviews I read but Iv had no issues so far

I love my Milwaukee cordless drywall screw gun. The only thing I didn't love was manually feeding screws into it. This little guy is the perfect pairing to an almost perfect tool! This gives me the ability to feed collated screws through my drywall screw gun to be much quicker and way more efficient. Installing this was a little tricky though. Not enough to dock it any points, but I will tell you - the process is not in the manual. I mean, there is a process in the manual, but it is missing a huge point. And I usually don't even read manuals, but I checked when I couldn't get the longer screw bit to be flush to the nose of the attachment. I tried several things, and assumed that Milwaukee gave me the wrong bit. The instruction booklet doesn't say that you have to take out the bit receiver as well. Well, you do. And let me tell you, whoever put that thing in there sure made it a snug fit. You really have to grab it with pliers and work it out. Once it is out, the extended bit will fit in - You have to really seat that one in there too - and it will work fine. The screws fed fine once I got everything worked out. The whole assembly feels comfortable and evenly weighted in my hand. I fed a few hundred screws without any problems. The attachment is made out of a high quality plastic, which is lightweight and sturdy. Besides the instructions missing a step, I love this tool and am excited to have it to make my screw gun much better.

Easy to assemble easy to use very handy

I like the concept and the ability to have the tool cordless. Unfortunately, the product doesn't work properly. I run a few screws through the collated strip and the bit pulls out. The bit gets stuck in the plastic and pulls out. Not sure how the bit gets that far in after adjusting the depth.The depth should not allow the bit to go in the plastic but yet it goes in and pulls the bit out.

Just DIY person. Got the attachment and tried to see and follow instructions. Not quite to the point. It's not very clear. Research to see what others experienced and there it was in YouTube. Don't forget to take out the extention or you will scratch your head like I did. However, turn of event after everything was installed properly it was smooth. Specially when switch to "Auto." You just enjoy the easy job of the installation of drywall screws. Work just right.

Sent me the wrong product not even close to what I ordered. Not the first time this has happened with several other bad home Depot online order experiences. I returned the wrong item for my money back and went and bought the same product at a better price from a local store.

I have shot about a 1000 screws with mine. It definitely speeds up the process from flipping screws. I will be adding a 2nd Milwaukee screw gun and attachment before long.

I can’t get it to work after 2 hours, I got 2 but returning one of them the other one I am taking to a Milwaukee repair and maybe he can tell me what I am doing wrong. I bought these to do a certain job, but had to use the old fashion way, cost me a lot of time.

Poor design - the bit is not held strongly enough in the screwgun (even after the "click") for square screws. Bit gets pulled out every other screw if the bit is even lightly jammed in the screw. Completely useless. Also instructions are not clear took a while to figure out that the screw gun had a bit holder that needs to be removed to fit the long bit provided.

It's a nice attachment but I wish milwaukee sold a T25 5.8" bit instead of the PH2 bit for the attachment.

You’re better off using a screwdriver. There is nothing that ensures the screws going straight. The very bulky shoulder collar hits corner studs. Really this tool is just junk that is best served as a bench top paperweight.

It works great! There are some flaws but not deal breakers. Only thing I’m having trouble with is finding the correct bits for replacement ,

No square drive bit available! Head is too big can’t eye up screw center when trying to aim for a predrilled hole!

This is a great tool overall. But I looked at the instructions and gave up trying to follow it. After 5 minutes of working out the setup myself it was running. The manual only skims over the steps. Setup was easy... Remove the the existing cone, Pull out the standard bit and magnetic holder,(You will need plyers for this) Insert the 5.75" (148mm) driver bit it will seat into the 1st seat but you have to push the bit (With some force) into the 2nd seat. Attach the collated magazine to the drill. Load a strip of screws into the feeder. Push down as if you were driving a screw to advance the screws (DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE BATTERY ATTACHED TO THE DRILL!). Line the screw up with the screw length adjuster. Slide the orange button over and slide the adjuster forward or backwards to the length of the screw leaving 1/8" (3-4mm) space (The screw should slide through with out making contact with any part of the gun. (this will allow easy removal of the strip of screws and will prevent jam ups with a misfire) And you are ready to hang drywall. I am using the cheap 1"1/4 Makita strip screws. As far as spare PH2 bits go 48-30-1000 you can get them from Milwaukee parts or you can use Milwaukee 4932459393 148mm (5.75") bits (Sold in a 3 pack) at some hardware stores or online.

Nice piece of equipment

This is a great addition to the drywall gun. It has taken some getting use to using it but it works great when I keep it square to the drywall.

The drill doesn’t line up with the screws and keeps coming out the side. Poor poor tool

Great tool, worked as described, made drywall a little easier, installing ceiling is a breeze

I’m a remodeling contractor and I’ve had a few different collated screw guns in the past. This one worked better than all the others. Easy to set up n use. My first job was 20 sheets and no issues.

Easy install but the drywall gun doesn’t rotate fast enough to install the screw when applying pressure.

Takes my Drywall game to the next level as far as speed/time. Really great tool as always from Milwaukee

It kept jamming while doing ceiling
