BOSCH D60498 Drywall Dimpler® Screw Setter, Number 2 Phillips

Works pretty good however it does like to drive them a little too deep

I drywalled my garage several weeks ago, for the first wall I used my 18V cordless drill to drive the drywall screws. While I was careful, a lot of screws went in too deep and tore through the facing paper. The clutch on my drill, while very sensitive, was either too much or too little so I had to drive the screws by eye. I wasn't about to spend hundreds of dollars for a dedicated drywall screw drill, so I bought the Bosch D60498. I finished the other two wall in record time and the Bosch screw setter worked flawlessly. I put my drill on high-speed, set the torque to maximum, and had at it. Every single screw was perfectly set. I am very happy with this purchase.

As described

In the past I have used the drywall dimplers that come in the 4 packs at the big box stores. They work ok, but quickly strip on the Phillips head side, and aren't great at driving drywall screws with a good countersink. I am doing a whole home renovation and have had to replace around 8 sheets of drywall in my kitchen and living room. This Bosch Drywall Dimpler has been amazing for countersinking the drywall screw the exact amount needed each and every time, allowing me to follow up afterwards with mud to hide the screws. The only way you can mess this up is if you don't drive the screw in straight. If you drive the screw at an angle it will causes a portion of the head to stick about the surface of the drywall, which you do not want, of course. I have driven hundreds of drywall screws with this so far and see no signs of wear on the bit yet. Great tool at a great price!

Stripped out after one wall. Doesn't dimple very well either. Worthless trash.

I used this in my DeWalt 1/4" drive impact seting 1-5/8"L drywall screws into 1/2" drywall, wood studs. While the tool was still working it worked like a phenom - didn't strip screws (quality bit), and perfectly-driven screws! Too good to believe. After ~150x screws it started binding in the released/dimpled setting. This meant I would go to drive a screw and the bit wouldn't spin. I had to manually pull & reset the bit after every_single_screw! It had only been ~5 drywall sheets, but I used some compressed air & oiled it. Didn't help. I was still manually releasing the chuck after every screw! This slowed me down a lot.

This thing works great. Very strong magnet.

I had looked at DYI videos using this but had a dewalt "dimpler" in my toolset so I skipped buying it at first. The basic dewalt version rips/burns the paper and does a poor job. This works more like a tool specifically made for drywall as the outside ring doesn't spin. If you are a DYI person doing drywall, stop looking and just buy this. Don't even consider the cheaper versions. Either buy this or invest another 150 bucks for a drywall screwdriver.

Works well, fair life @ reasonable price

Dommage par de réglable de profondeur

Det här är en riktigt bra och smart pryl som hjälper till när man ska skruva gips. Den ser till att varje skruv hamnar på exakt rätt djup, utan att man råkar dra den för långt in och skada pappen. Resultatet blir mycket proffsigare och man slipper spackla igen en massa fula hål. Ett litet verktyg som sparar både tid och frustration. Rekommenderas starkt till alla som ska sätta upp gipsväggar!

Perfect for the job
