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.

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.

Lemon?
Would Not RecommendI don't know if I got a lemon or what. I've used dimplers a ton for sheetrock, but this one isn't all that great. It worked great for the first 5-6 sheets, then the bit started chattering against the sides and won't drive correctly. I bought it as a secondary one to my dewalt I've had for years. It will be going back. Make sure you have it perfectly square to the sheetrock, that's the only way it works now...
