I do have a picture but I haven’t downloaded it into my puter yet and I have a feeling someone’ll answer this pretty quickly so…but if not I’ll download the pic from my camera and post it…I know, what a tease.
I’ve bever seen this little tool before but fell in love with it when one of my guys turned me on to it. Someone gave it to him so he has no idea where to purchase it.
It looks like a nut driver you put in you drill chuck. It has a phillips head sunk in about an 1/8th of an inch or so. You screw rock up with it. It sets the screw “perfectly” in dept and even leaves a soft ring/hole depression in the rock that fills with mud beautifully. Why haven’t I seen more of these around. Personally it does a better job than my screw shooter. Great invention and probably costs under five bucks.
Anyone know where I can buy one of these lil’ suckers???
Thanks

It's a drywall dimpler. There are a few styles.

Says Home Depot carries them too but never saw them there not that I was looking before this.
Why pay so much more money for the reverse function when you can just put your drill in reverse.If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!

The "reverse function" of the $15 one let's you raise the outside ring so that it doesn't contact the drywall as you're backing out a screw.
why would you need to raise the ring? It'd back out anyway, right?If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!

If the head of the screw is recessed into the drywall and the outer ring is forced into contact with the drywall so the bit can engage the screw, damaging the surface of the drywall is a posibility.
The $15 one has a built in clutch and takes drywall bits. The cheaper ones are a one shot deal.
Thanks Mark...These things are unbelieveably good.If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!

they work good with an impactor because of the high rpm's makes it feel like a drywall gun

You have to look, but you will find them at the box stores. Been using them for years. I don't do enough rockin' anymore to justify dragging out the corded sheetrock gun. The little tip that can gets carried around with the little impact driver that can. Zip zip zip...

Along the same idea is a new improved magnetic bit holder, it has ring that holds the head of the screw besides the magnet in the shaft,,McFeelys has'em and so did my local Mom and pop yard..for 6.95.
Don't use an impact driver, it will bust up the internal magnet ( rare earth are fragile) and make a bunch of sticky shrapnel...)
Just a heads up.

I've used a couple of those $15 ones, and don't like 'em. You have to have the drill perfectly square to the drywall. Just a little off, and the thing kicks out too early. The magnets also fall out frequently, then the screws won't stay on the bit. And the clutch thingy wears out all too quickly.They're not bad for tacking a sheet up. But nothing beats a corded screw gun for putting the rest of the screws in, IMHO.
