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.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This particular item i think it's for the DIY person. I purchased one of these a few months ago when i installed 90 sheets of drywall and it came apart. The only plus side it's easy to use and light duty.

Works Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dimpler drywall driver works fantastic. I was able to just attach it right into the end of my screw drill. It makes the job of putting the screws in the drywall so much easier because you don't have to worry about the screws going intoo far. It is also magnetized so when you put your screw on the tip of it, it stays put. The magnet is really powerful. It helps because I don't have to hold the screw to the wall. You ca also use it in reverse...

Great drywall driver
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Great depth every time. Made durable to last a long time. Works strong for any job. To use jst pull back on bit, rotate and engage, then just replace when needed. Reversible. While chucked, pull back, then just turn to lock.

If only I knew before…
Would RecommendThis little tool has been a game changer. No longer do I have to use my cumbersome screw gun (which didn’t drive the screw to the right depth half the time). My only regret is I didn’t know about this before I spent money on the gun.

Did not work
Would Not RecommendThe depth would be ok some times then it would drive the screw in way to deep sporadically. The phillips driver is loose making it harder to keep the screw straight. i used the cheep driver that came with the screws.

beats buying a screw gun for one time use
Would RecommendI tried the cheap throwaway dimplers and seemed to not get a good lifespan out of them, I was doing a one-time project and did not want to spend 80.00 on a screw gun and came across this gem that worked. I also found that it worked well for wood on a deck project I helped a friend with.
