Excellent Tool September 29, 2008

I have had this gun for about 2 weeks. It is very easy to use, feels good in my hand, does an excellent job. The only suggested improvement would be to move the reversing switch to a different location. I keep hitting it with my thumb, reversing direction. Not a showstopper however, just a nusiance for me.
Worth every penny. April 5, 2008

A must for anyone who is serious about "flying rock". After a short learning curve and not hesitating to move fast you can screw off a whole sheet of dry wall in one to two minutes. My only criticism is that it is difficult if not impossible to engage the trigger lock with one hand.

I bought this tool after checking out all the other brands. I really like that it is very light weight and comfortable to hold. This model is not all plastic like some of the other brands.
 Nice Drywall Gun December 10, 2004

Once again, Milwaukee delivers a quality tool. This gun is a vast improvement over their older, less balanced screw guns. It fits the hand well, is not overly heavy, and runs screws into either wood or metal studs without hesitation. The only complaint I have about this one versus the older models is the trigger lock. It's now a recessed button, which is very awkward to operate with one hand. But even the DeWalt's isn't that convenient, so this is my screw gun of choice. Plus, it has a 5 year limited warranty, which none of the competition can touch.
good inexpensive gun August 1, 2004

This is a plain, bare bones screw gun for drywall installation.
It has a soft start feature that helps the motor last longer since some people rather pull the trigger for every screw they shoot.
People who do tons of drywall just lock the trigger and keep driving one screw after the other.
It's designed to shoot screws in all day. Nothing fancy, no clutch, just a depth stop.
I actually use my clutched cordless drill for most drilling and general screwing. I only break this out for drywall. It has the advantage of being lighter weight with pretty decent balance.
If you're going to screw into something that's maybe questionable in strength might benefit from a clutched drill or a clutched screw gun or just going slow with this. These screw guns are really fast and since they're foremost intent is screwing into wood or steel studs having that type of adjustability really isn't required.
This is about the least expensive, no frills way to go for a screwgun and a brand that's been making these for a very long time. It's a good dedicated drywall screw gun.
For decks I might use a clutched gun or just one of the slower rpm screw guns that are geared for more torque to drive longer, fatter screws.
