- 1). Note the amperage of the motor as well as the RPM. This will let you know the power and the speed of the drywall screwdriver. Higher amperage means more power and will allow you to screw into wooden beams quicker, while higher RPM is the speed with which the screws go into the wall.
- 2). Decide if you want a cordless or a corded drywall screwdriver. This makes a difference as the cordless drills are usually a bit less powerful but do not need to be re-plugged while moving down the wall and can easily reach higher spots. It is important to find out how long the batteries last on the cordless as well as their weight, since these tend to weigh a bit more than their corded counterparts.
- 3). Check the prices of the various models. The most important part about comparing drywall screwdrivers is that they fit into your budget. They range from $50 to over $250 depending on the maker and design.
- 4). Try out the regular drywall screwdrivers against the ones with auto feed. The auto feed strip contains a number of screws and is automated and can hold up anywhere from 25 to 50 screws at a time. This saves time as you do not have to feed the screws individually into the drywall screwdriver.
