For my project, I used screws of 3". With 2x deck boards, you could get away with 2 1/2" screws since you get 1" penetration into the joists (2x material is only 1 1/2" thick) however, since a deck is usually outside in the elements, you might want to go

A longer bit is required with this gun. Despite the fact that it was advertised as fitting, the EA0297 does not. I found them to be too short. In an attempt to shoot. Don't be foolish. However, the gun itself is a great gun. Except that the spare parts are not available locally. Due to ordering the wrong bits, I was unable to complete the job on time. When I ordered the gun, I also received some extras. However, I was wrong in sizing, so I was "up the creek" when the ones that came with it wore out and I was supposed to see those I purchased were too.
On a deck, I used this to install the field screws. I had to take some time to set it up, but after that it didn't foul. My depth was perfectly set every time, and I was able to easily line up my shots with a 2x6 as a straight edge. Despite not sweating or getting down on my knees once, I installed 900 screws in 35 minutes. As I screwed a line of screws, I kept the trigger pulled until I had finished the entire line of screws. My fastest time was then. I know I can do it If I don't have it, I won't install another deck.
On a 1750 sq ft house, we put down a new 1/2 inch subfloor to firm up the original OSB After seeing it on a home repair TV show, I wanted to get one for myself since I'm not getting any younger. It was a good price, and after reading the directions, it was put to the test. It worked great. What a great back saver, and it makes my job so much easier! I used a square bit drive and 1 1/4" It's easy to load the magazine, and you'll be able to drill 50 screws within seconds. You have to be pretty much vertical in order for the screw head to align with the bit otherwise the screw won't go in all the way, but once you get used to it, you will be an instant pro. This gun is well made and the system works well. I know what it is like to wait! Don't be like me!.
In my construction of an addition, I had to install tongue and groove subflooring My first thought was that this tool would save me a lot of back pain. My only question is, what took me so long to receive this? The tool is extremely easy to use and has saved me so much time when I built five homes. Also, the fences I constructed several years ago would have saved me a lot more time. My subwoofer is screwed to a 4 x 8 sheet At least, I could have done the floor in a third of the time if I had to use standard drivers There's more cost to the screws than with the screws themselves, but the ease and speed make up for the cost. It comes in a very nice bag, but because of the shape of the tool, it's difficult Here are a few things I have discovered about the tool now that I have installed 400 sq ft of subflooring The roof decking is 120 sq ft in area and is made up of 1000 sq ft of sheathing and 1000 This is *br1. The screw might not go in all the way if you go on an angle. Suppose you only have 1/4 inch of 2x4 available to use for sheathing I would hand screw the screw. * * 2. In my opinion, the forward/reverse button is not located in the ideal The screws got stuck in reverse after I accidentally put them in reverse while loading them. It took me so long to realize the screws weren't going in and I was in a panic. Beyond those minor issues, a fantastic product that you simply cannot do without if you are serious about DIY or have a large project (e. Investing in new fencing, a new deck,.
Those who need to screw a bunch of times will find this tool extremely useful. In comparison to running them on your hands and knees, hands and knees save much more than 50% of the time. If you read the instructions and take your time, your program will run perfectly! During the summer of last year, I taught my wife how to use it. As soon as we began mudging the floor and laying the cement board, we could not keep up. You don't need to rush just don't forget to have a good rhythm. You can also reuse the plastic strips that come with the screws. Purchasing bulk boxes of screws and just reloading them into the plastic strip is an excellent solution.
Despite the fact that I have not used it on decking, for everthing else, it has failed miserably. This device has a lot of problems with the screws, it's easy to get it out of sync. Most of the time, it doesn't push. When it does start a screw, you better go slow because it will spin out at a moment's notice. It has been a very disappointing experience. I believed this would save me time and energy when hanging the 130 sheets of OSB I need to hang, but in the end, I gave up.
This is an amazing An amazing time- and knee-saver, the decking and floor screw driver saves you a lot of time and work. Finished the project with a score of 6 on a scale of 1 to 5. Initially, it was a little tricky to operate, but after I read the instructions (duh), it was easy to use. Having to stop and insert another strip of screws is the only thing that makes things slower. As one of my favorite tools, this is one of my favorites.
I have been a drywall contractor and home builder for the past We have found the best feeder yet! This is an excellent automatic feeder. A couple of screwed down 1200 sf of subfloor with almost no effort. The most difficult part was to replace the 50rd clips every five It took me just over 2 hours to complete. Nice job, SENCO!.
