What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this drywall screw setter. Most praise its accurate depth control, one-handed operation, and magnetic screw holder for small projects and repairs, calling it a time-saver for DIYers. However, many report significant durability issues, with the tool failing after just a few sheets or 10-20 screws due to broken clutches and cracked housings. Several note the depth control becomes inconsistent over time. Reviewers agree it works well for light, occasional use but isn't suitable for heavy-duty applications. While some experience minor issues like loose bits or alignment problems, most who encounter failures express regret about their purchase.

Not for multiple uses
Would Not RecommendWorked fine out of the package. Until sheet number 6 or 7. I bought two of them. One of the blue plastic outer shells cracked and stopped working.. The second worked until the drywall dust got inside and then all it would do was sink screws into the drywall. Won't be buying these again.

One and Done
Would Not RecommendWell it was a FEW more than one.. It was about 20 screws or so, and then it sticks in the Release/Lock Position until I stop and pull (sometimes with pliers) it back into the "Screw Position", for every screw. Don't waste your money, or call the company first to see if there is a fix. I'm cutting my losses.

A waist of time and money.
Would Not RecommendThis product dosn't deliver enough torque to drive screws flush too the drywall. There are no instructions either with the tool or online on how to adjust the bit. .

Not durable, don't buy!
This tool only lasted 9, 4x8 sheets of drywall before the clutch failed. Not a durable tool. I will not buy again. If I had the package i would have taken it back.

Great tool!
Would RecommendI've only hung eight panels of drywall with this, but it has performed flawlessly putting the heads of the screws exactly the right distance below the surface.

Be careful to lock or unlock dimpler completely

Maybe I got a bad one?
Would Not RecommendSinks screws too deep, breaking the paper about half the time if I rely on the clutch. The older Dimpler I'm using sets the screws flush and never breaks the paper.

Works pretty well
Would RecommendI bought this dimpler after trying the Dewalt (which was junk) and it works so much better. I use my drill/driver on low speed and it sinks the screws consistently. I am bout half way through the job so I'll know soon if it is built to last.
