Has anyone used this for drywall &amp; if so which bit did you use that fits &amp; works properly?

The 1/4" hex drive ball lock chuck is used on all depth sensitive and drywall screwdrivers. As for the bits used, you can contact DeWalt directly at 1-800-433-9258.

My husband says with the right bit, it should work fine. He has used it to drill into concrete. Hope this helps.

It has been a very good tool for me. I've tried it for wood mostly, but I believe the type of bit you would need would be different for concrete and metal.

Don't use that bit with this table. The table itself is excellent, but doesn't have enought mass to use that bit safely. Buy the table, but use a vertical profile panel raising bit instead. Much safer bit in all respects, with a cleaner cut and way less vibration.

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

I have only had luck using DeWalt bits. I tried some RotoZip bits but they are too big. I haven't tried anything else, so someone but have had better luck with some other bit.

I have used cheap bits that either fall apart or bend. These hold up very well either in wood or standard steel. So far no problems .

To drill on dry wall or plywood, this is pretty much capable of doing so using an ordinary bit but If you want to drill on concrete wall then you need a masonry bit. This B&D drill is really strong with 2 speed 20 volt power. You will not regret.

Worked for me. I try to use a stud finder when I install baseboard and hit studs with the nails.

Not an expert. Did use on my sheetrock with great results. I choose this one because of the great reviews. Good luck on your project.

Hi Sandy. I used mine specifically to find the studs in lathe and plaster walls and it worked great. I know others using this tool to recover pallet wood before working with it and they had good success.

It really depends what you are installing it on.If it is drywall probably drilling some small holes for the glue to go in would work.You really don't want to cut a big hole - there would be nothing to glue it to.

Its best to check with your local bldg. code office (phone call should work)! I use mounting brackets in drywall (these are plastic drywall brackets)!

Correct, but only if the previous nail or screw was not centered in the first place. You have to assume the person who put up the drywall originally did the job right. I suppose you could just use a strong magnet too, but it's worth the cost.
