User Comments about the Makita 6821 5.2 Amp Drywall Screwdriver

If you are going to hang more than 20 sheets of drywall get one of these. This gun is light and fits well in your hand. It makes the job easier, faster and easier to mud later.

If you have a large project involving drywall, this is probably a good investment. Even with these limitations, this was a very useful tool. I have an older version of this tool (6801) with less power, no reverse, and a fixed speed rather than a variable. I only work with drywall as a DIYer, but the time and efficiency savings from having a specialized tool were worth it for me. Spend some time practicing on scrap - it will probably save you some frustration. This category of tool was one of the things which really differentiated Makita when they started importing to the US, and they continue to do a good job with it in my opinion.

Anyone who is contemplating a drywall gun because they are still using a drill to hang drywall should give this tool some serious consideration. It is a very affordable tool for those of us that do not do enough drywall to justify the cost of the higher end units, yet still offers the adjustable depth controls, variable speed andlightweight that make one of these tools worth having.
