Great screw gun
Style: Combo Kit (2.0Ah)
I have been somewhat skeptical of drywall screw guns for a long time but decided to splurge and get one to try. I am very impressed and can't believe how well they work and how much time it does actually save. If you are going to be doing a lot of drywall the time saving using this gun is totally worth it. I would buy one again in a heart beat. The cut out tool works fine too, I have a corded rotozip and didn't "need" this one but it was essentially coming free in the kit. It is a bit more convenient to use the cordless version but not a huge difference. I have bought into the makita tool system so this was the way to go for me but if you are bought into one of the other brands I don't think the makita is any different than the others so no reason to switch teams. If you haven't bought into any tools system yet then I would say the Makita brand is great. I am a big fan of their tools. ... show more

Nice gun
Style: Combo Kit (2.0Ah)
So far its been really nice & way better than the original Makita drywall guns. All Iโ€™ve ever used were the Dewalt dw272 50โ€™ corded because it was the best 1 on the market & tried several others from other people but they all sucked including Makitas. So I was skeptical but I tried it & glad I did!

Only thing I would do is get a bigger battery for the router.
Style: Combo Kit (2.0Ah)
I'm very happy with the screwgun, I don't care for the switch on the router and the battery doesn't last very long on it, especially when it's cold out. But all in all I'm pretty happy with the purchase.
