A GREAT HELP
MUCH LITER THEN THE 18V, BUT WITH ALL THE POEWR YOU WILL NEED. ITS A LITTLE SLOWER THEN A CORDED GUN BUT LEAVES YOU FREE TO MOVE AROUND. IF YOU DO ROCK GET ONE YOU WILL LOVE IT. IT IS A LITTLE PRICEY BUT IF YOUR USEING IT TO MAKE MONEY IT WILL PAY YOU BACK ON EVERY JOB.

irreplaceble tool
this gun has been a constant part of my tool inventory for over 8 years now. the dewalt dw979-k is a hard tool to beat in the metal stud framer's/drywaller's world. the combination of the speed, weight and versatility of this screwgun is unrivaled on any commercial jobsite in my opinion. i demand more than i should from this gun, but it has never let me down. dropped from the top of a 22' parapit wall, my dw979-k is still running strong. i am on the third set of batteries for my dw979-k and the trigger is finally developing a short in it, this thing just wont die. a very durable, reliable companion, i just wont do without one.

WOW. YOU NEED THIS SCREWDRIVER KIT!
WOW. Using this screwdriver kit was easily the most intense and enlightening experience I've had since going to Waterworld in Denver.(...)

No problems, no banal subplots or overwrought dialogue, just one(...) good screwdriver gun. While using it, you will feel in control, as if you've suddenly taken a stand in your life and are not going to take any more...

The special features are great. I've never had such great bonus material on a drill. (...)Don't ask. Even if you have no money, trust me, you need this screwdriver gun. You need it now. Stop reading and go buy it. Oh yeah, and there is a little surprise in the packaging that is an absolute joy to discover when you buy it! Especially if you are a peanut fan!
