DURASPIN [Posted on 2002-10-06] I have used my Duraspin on 3 jobs now. It is an excellent concept that obviously was thought out well. I have experienced some difficulty on square drive screws going crooked and with not getting consistent depth of drive when my hand pressure varies during driving the screw but I think both of these problems will go away with more practice. The cut out tool that came with the gun is excellent. I recommend this gun to anyone who uses screws alot. Just wish it had reverse. With only forward drive I still have to keep my cordless drill with me.
Incredible waste of money [Posted on 2003-05-03] I purchased a Senco Duraspin screw gun and cut out saw several weeks ago and was rewarded with the biggest disapointment of my life. The screw gun is an absolute waste of money. Right from the box the gun jammed on a regular basis...like one in five screws. There is no reverse so one has to pull the tape through in order to free up the mechanism. You can't do that without wasting other screws and they are expensive! The gun will not operate unless it is aligned at right angles to your work...and I mean it needs to be almost perfect. It is also under powered. You would need three batteries to use the gun in concert with the cutout saw as the batteries don't stay charged long at all. If you are looking for a drywall gun..go electric for less than half the money and get a tool you can work with.
Great Time Saver [Posted on 2004-03-08] I am not a professional, but I found the Duraspin screw gun to be an incredible time saver. It made drywall hanging much easier and a lot faster. I hung drywall in a garage, bedroom, bath, and laundry room with the Duraspin, and it had plenty of power. The battery held up well. The second battery was always charged and ready to go, when the first battery started to lose power. The screws almost always were sunk to the correct depth (95%+). The only time I had troubles is putting a screw into the corner of a wall, and I had to go in at an angle. Sometimes I would have to follow up and sink these screws a little deeper. I have used the screw gun on other miscellaneous non-drywall jobs too, and I have found it to be a simple, easy and fast way to sink screws into any wood job. I would highly recommend it.
needs some practice [Posted on 2004-04-26] great gun, but required getting used to. In that I agree with the other reviews. But ... can you imagine, a craftsman actually having to learn how to use a tool!?
takes lots of practice [Posted on 2006-02-25] at first id say 1 in 10 screws cocked and jamed up in the mechanism, however thats only because i had no skills with it. now having gone through over 50 of the buckets of screws it happens maybe once in 1000 honest. and an added plus it fits ryobi batteries (14.4 only). however If anyone else on the job picks it up to tack something they usually wind up cursing at it and tossing it. and for full speed work just screwing behind the guys tacking you need 4 to 6 batteries
hope this helps
