Makita XSF03Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Drywall Screwdriver (Bare Tool Only)

Product Information

Autofeed Screwdriver Magazine features a collated screw length capacity range from 1" to 2-3/16" for increased versatility

Adding a collated attachment to a standard drywall screw gun certainly increases working speed, but when it comes to maximizing productivity, nothing competes with a full-time auto-feed screwdriver such as the Makita 18V LXT. The Makita 199146-8 Collated Autofeed Screwdriver Magazine Attachment delivers easy and reliable autofeed capability. The compact, ergonomic autofeed design offers less weight and efficient power. Its ideal for production board attachment to metal or wood. Collated screw length capacity ranges from 25mm to 55mm for increased versatility. For use with specific Makita corded and cordless screwdrivers. The brushless motor runs at 4,000 rpm and can drive collated screws (drywall and standard wood screws) from 1 inch to 2.125 inch long. Instead of the usual three-step depth setting, there is a variable dial. This gives the Makita auto-feed screwdriver great versatility and allows the user to compensate for the hardness of the material and set the depth precisely. Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately)

Compatible devices

The electronically-controlled BL™ Brushless Motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application Cordless drywall screw guns are often sold as “bare tools” (without a battery or charger). If the user doesn’t already own compatible batteries, this can add a considerable amount to the price. Pay attention to the amp hour (Ah) rating of batteries. This can be compared to fuel: the higher the number, the longer the battery will run between charges.

With a weight of 3.7 pounds plus a battery of 1.4 pounds, it is somewhat heavier than its rivals, but it is designed for two-handed operation. There have been a few issues with jamming, particularly with the use of cheap collated screws. We would recommend Makita’s own screws for consistent performance.The electronically-controlled brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator Drywall Screwdriver with BL™ Motor delivers 0-4,000 RPM to handle a variety of drywall and framing applications

The 6-amp motor produces super-fast driving of 5,300 rpm. This makes the DeWalt corded drywall screw gun ideal for use with metal studs or joists, which are increasingly popular but tougher to pierce than wood. The nose cone has three-position depth adjustment. Helical gears, which mesh more easily than straight-cut alternatives, provide renowned DeWalt durability. Push Drive™ Technology delivers increased efficiency, longer run time and lower noise for drywall fastening . With Push Drive™ the motor starts only when the fastener is engaged with the work piece, so battery power is used more efficiently for significantly longer run time. Contractors benefit from less downtime charging batteries, and from a quieter work environment since the motor runs only during fastening. Makita DFR550Z LXT Li-Ion Cordless Auto feed Screwdriver 18v gives high operation efficiency delivered from fast rotational speed and improved screw strip management. Has Makita's new silent clutch featuringdirect drive transmission in reverse rotation. Also now with a more reliable casing attachment which can be removed or attached without a tool. The 424mm long machine has an ergonomically designedrubberizedgrip with anti-slip to provide a steady hold in all conditions. DFR550ZFeatures: Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating

DeWalt is another brand renowned for well-made, professional-standard power tools. Its 20V drywall screw gun has a brushless motor with a speed of 4,400 rpm. At 2.7 pounds, it is a fraction heavier than the Milwaukee, though the batteries are lighter, so the all up weight difference is negligible. The tool has a soft-grip handle and good ergonomics.
