Screwing hardi backer

[widler]

Personally , i think most screws will rust , apart from stainless, in certain environments.
But i get your drift .
Unfortunatly Ive used drywall on outside render jobs screwing beads on for years , with no rust spots ect

Kyle you really got be thinking with this, recently I bought myself a Bosch 10,8 driwall gun and its totally speeded up be driwalling so I thought why not give it a go with those Senso screws in your link so I bought some. I've used them today but with them being 4.2 gauge the little Bosch cant sink the screwheads so I have to go round with a combi drill. This is still quicker but it would be nice to do it in one go, is it possible to get 3.5 collated woodscrews? If not I will need to get a beefier gun, does the Hilti sink the heads?

I'm not sure about if u can get 3.5 collated screws but to answer the other question yeah mine drives the screws straight through the hardi and out the back if u have the depth set wrong it's a beast somehow it's more powerful then my impact driver

I debated for ages about which screwgun to get, I already have Bosch 10.8 stuff and makita 18v.

The makita screwgun had endless people saying it kept jamming which put me off so to save buying into another battery system I got the Bosch 10.8 driwall gun, its just about powerful enough for 3.5 driwall screws but struggles with the 4.2.

I'm thinking now about getting a 240v Bosch drywall gun and using the same collated attachment.

I have the bosch 10.8v impact and drill set which is a great little set for day to day use but when it came to drywall guns I joined the plasterers forum and after reading loads of threads everyone with a hilti said they wouldn't go back to senco makita dewalt or bosch so I bought a hilti one and it's never missed a beat

What about the Reisser screws. Just ordered a load.

 

[Kyle Knowles]
