Significance

• Drywall hangers need to install screws so that they slightly dimple the surface of the drywall, but not so deep that the screw heads break the paper surface of the drywall.
  
  

Function

• Automatic screw guns have adjustable brackets on their noses that allow workers to rapidly install screws to the perfect depth in the drywall, every time.
  
  

Features

• Screws for automatic drywall screw guns come set in long strips, like bullets in a bandoleer. This allows workers to install dozens of screws before stopping to reload.
  
  

Expert Insight

• For one-time projects, automatic drywall screw guns are probably overkill. But for professional drywallers, they can drastically increase productivity.
  
  

Considerations

• Corded automatic screw guns are less expensive than battery-operated screw guns, but having to drag around an extension cord decreases mobility and range of movement.
