recieved dewalt dw276 missing parts(collar and locator) and with philips bit in it protruding through both boxes. I returned it with much hassel and complained up the chain to corporate since the csr was clueless and inept. .A rep from corporate " made good" .However the replacement they sent was almost the exact same .I get the dw276 missing the collar and and locator . Same as before without philips bit.Also the serial # on box was different than on the drill . Something fishy going on !

I have always had and used Dewalt tools, this screw gun is easy to use, easy to adjust and holds up very well for heavy duty drywall jobs. Good price, fast shipping and quality product.

It's my first screw gun so I can't compare it to other manufacturers. Seems well built and a reputable manufacturer. It's a great tool for installing drywall or screwing together wooden parts of any kind - after improvising with a electric drill. By adjusting the torque you can reliably install a screw flush with the surface - which is what you want to do.

This baby has lots of power. You may wonder why it stops short of driving a screw in flush, if you're using standard bits. I have a set of Dewalt bits that has some bits with a longer shaft and I tried one of those. Before I could get my finger off the switch, it had counter-sunk the screw about 3/8 inch into the wood ! If you're driving deck screws, I find it works well to use screws with Torx heads, and standard Torx bits. The screw-gun leaves the screw about 1/4 inch shy of being flush, and I finish them off by hand with a set of Torx keys.

Works good, sets screws at a constant depth, as long as you drive them straight. Gearbox feels heavy and hasn’t given me any issues but being a homeowner I’ve only hung about 50 sheets so realize the pros may do that every week. But for me did the trick and was worth using this rather than my impact driver.

First, this model is not the high speed corded "drywall" screw gun that professionals hanging drywall all day would use (most have went to cordless drivers, anyway). This DW276 is Dewalt's versatile screw gun that runs from 0 to 2500 rpm with a positive clutch and 132 in-lbs of torque at 6.5 amps that delivers a lot of torque for it's application. If you want a dedicated drywall only corded screw gun, then the Dewalt DW272 at 0 to 3500 rpm, 81 in-lbs of torque and 6.3 amps, or the Dewalt DW255 at 0 to 5300 rpm, 60 in-lbs of torque and 6.0 amps are the correct tools.That said, we have owned several of these DW276's and commercially used, all still running (if they were not dropped 10 stories) with normal maintenance like cleaning and re-greasing the drive gears, replacing brushes before they ruin the motor, replacing damaged cords, etc. This is a versatile screw gun that without effort will drive #14 3" screws with a little wax, lag bolts (large need pre-drilled), etc., or small #6 screws.... the harder you push, the more torque is applied by the positive clutch that is not adjustable like some others that require manually adjusting the clutch setting, or a dual purpose drill/screw gun with variable clutch until locked to drill. You need to allow the clutch to do it's job instead of using like a drill so one, you can apply more or less torque and two, you don't strip the screw heads like a straight drill does.And yes, it will still drive drywall screws, but a bit slower than the other two that are dedicated for drywall with less torque. We actually remove the drywall head that is for depth adjustment and simply use magnetic bit holders. If we needed the depth adjustment, such as hanging drywall, it simply screws back on. If you want to use sockets, put in the adapter bought most anyplace for a few dollars for a set of 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive. No, it is not going to remove lugs off your truck wheels, but sockets work for say, lag bolts, or those 5/16" sheet metal screws.Note: There are pros and cons with positive clutched and adjustable clutched screw guns (not to be confused with drill/driver), but adjustable clutches are maybe best for the beginner if they start at a lower setting to not strip screw heads, or you require a specific torque and can closely replicate with an adjustable clutch to then finish with a torque wrench. Regardless, this DW276 is a positive clutch and dependent on how hard you push to increase the torque instead of manually adjusting the torque on the chuck itself (1 to 10, etc.) This tool is simply faster for us and a wide variety of applications. It is simply easier to push harder or less than to play with torque adjustments that many set to maximum and you basically then have a drill.Hope this helps someone to clear up a little confusion.

When adjusted properly and using the right length drywall screw for the thickness of drywall into wood studs it drove them in to the right depth each and every time. It made the job of finishing a basement room much easier. It was worth every dime, even if I don't use it for a couple of years.Muddling was very easy because they were dimpled correctly.Thanks Dewalt for a quality tool.

I spent some time shopping around for a screwgun that could be used for a drywall project but also wanted to be able to use if for possible decking in the future. This drill has plenty of power. I drywalled a room with it and it works great. Took some practice to get the hang of how to best hold it and adjust the depth setting but once set, it was smooth sailing. The reverse feature is nice but difficult to use if the screw is set below the surface since the phillips driver is recessed in the unit. I had a cordless drill on hand in case there were any screws I had to back out. Would definitely recommend this product for pro or homeowner use. Seems like a really solid unit that will last for years.
