DEWALT DW979K-2 12-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Drywall/Deck Screwdriver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have recently purchased this Dewalt Cordless Screw Gun.I run a drywall company and my tools get used and I mean really used.I have had this Cordless Screw Gun for a month and a half now and I really love it.It has elliminated a cord clutting up the job site and rotating the batteries I can use it continuously throughout the day.It took a while to get used to the slower RPM's compared to the corded screw gun that I am used to.The only reason that I would not give this tool five stars is because I do not know about its durability.Hopefully it will stand up to repeated use.I will update my review in six months.But as of right now I would say that this tool is well worth your money.

DEWALT DC520KA Heavy Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Drywall/Deck Screwdriver Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works fantastic! No cord to dance around! Always being one to check/read customer reviews, for some years now I have gone with DeWalt 18v tools. Unlike some other brands that have some outstanding cordless tools and some not so good tools in their lines, DeWalt almost always gets good marks. So far, I have not been disappointed in either quality or performance as expected. DeWalt, as usual, has another cordless winner here. Having the same tool Mfg'r also means you can share the batteries and chargers. A couple of battery packs will drive drywall screws all day long.

Owning several DeWalt 18v tools that were supplied with batteries and chargers, I did not need additional batteries; or chargers; or the kit boxes, so I opted to purchase the bare tool from one of Amazon's third party sellers, Max Tools, (DeWalt DC520B) for a substantial savings.

The DC520KA is fast and efficient for driving screws. I have bad shoulders now so it is a bit heavy for overhead work for me (I use a DeWalt corded model), but certainly managable if you are an average homeowner or a pro and only want to use one drywall gun. The gun is pricey, but thats DeWalt for you and you tend to get what you pay for.

If you're a homeowner that may do some serious drywalling once or twice in your lifetime, this package may be too expensive for your needs and a simple, cheaper corded model may be the way to go if $ is an issue. (See my review of the corded DeWalt DW272 screw gun as a possible option.)
