Thank you leaving this video. I have an older corded Makita drywall gun that always seams to put the screws in crooked. i always thought it was the operator. I was watching you work in other videos and noticed how smoothly the screws went in and was happy to see this video.

The biggest feature of the Makita is you can hold the trigger in and it only engages when the screw touches the wall, which saves on battery life. Meaning you can use the smaller battery all day. (it can be turned on and off between full run and semi )

How well does it work with collated clip? I've heard the DeWalt cordless works well with colleted clip. But I only have one DeWalt tool now or once it comes in mail.

I haven’t used the Hilti, but I have the makita with auto feed attachment and the auto start so that it doesn’t run unless you drive it. It never misses a beat and works so nicely. Was $400 kitted with a pair of 4ah batteries and the cutout tool. Smokin deal and works so well.

I renovated my entire living room floor to ceiling this past year. Since I already have makita tools I bought the drywall driver and the cut-out tool. No autofeed though. I had zero problems and the specialized tools made the work enjoyable. Cutout tool makes a lot of dust but it beats measuring and cutting everything.

New Hilti 5000 rpm gun is 1 lbs lighter, brushless, better ergonomics. I use my old 4500 rpm attached to the 22 inch extension for lids.

I've used a Makita corded Drywall drill forever. I've tried a few others but always go back to my trusty Makita. I've used it for everything including setting deck boards.

Makita has an genuine autofeed attachment and a third-party one from Senco 👍 Also, Makita has a Push Drive technology for less noise and more battery life !

I never used a hilti but I like my makita. I use the auto feed one. The one that runs the screws on the plastic strips and it is great.

Hilti is the bee's knees from everything I've seen. But not being in the field anymore has made Ryobi brushless a new friend if mine. Gotta save that $$$

Hey Dude, love the videos. I do drywall install/repair and I just purchased the makita a few months back. It has a push-drive mode where the motor in engaged the moment there is pressure on a fastener. I hung my hole kitchen (20 boards, vaulted ceiling) on a little over one charge of the 3AH battery. Saves a ton of battery life and works great. Just thought I’d point it out, not sure if the Hilton has same/similar feature.

I’m getting this Makita to fix all the crap nail pops in my house. Thanks for the review.

I learned drywall years ago on a corded Makita. Never wore it out.

I have the makita and like it but I don't have experience with any other cordless drywall drivers. I believe there is an autofeed attachment for the Makita.

That is also what I have noticed. the smaller and lighter the tool, the more I want to use it. big heavy macho stuff is cool and makes you look awesome, but it will get left on the work table. I have a small harbor freight cordless drill, 20v, my favorite. I've been using the same 1.5Ah battery more or less every day for a year and it's still going strong, even through the drill looks worn and there is no more legible writing on it.

Those Aussies have some good drywall/taping videos. Those guys are efficient.

Another great vid! Thank you!

Hey bud another great video. The Makita line actually has 5 models for their drywall gun. The model with the number 5 in it is the “snub nose” version. Shorter nose and has all the features. There are auto feed attachments that you can but separately as well if wanted. I have the corded version of a snub nose (19 years old) and it’s always been my favorite drywall gun to use and it’s still going! But I’ve been looking at the cordless model of the snub nose. Check it out from Makita. It will def out perform the standard nose from Makita or any other standard nose brand in my opinion. Thanks for posting!

@Vancouver Carpenter. Thanks Ben for your opinions between the Makita and the Hilti cordless drywall screw guns. I have no experience with the Hilti and I've only used the Makita and I'm not a professional drywaller. What I learned is mostly from you. So thank you. Hope you and your family stay safe and well. Merry Christmas.

When i started drywall, i was using a friends drill and it was Makita. I liked it, it’s reliable, works well but its not Hilti. When i got my own drill i chose Hilti, the exact same model you have. Last year i got the new model, its awesome, its on/off, meaning it has a stopper. Its lighter then the old model, its better balanced and has a new shape for your hand. And it has a light, huge difference. Great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers

Great info. Outstanding video.

here in ireland the same as oz the makita guns we use are dedicated autofeed guns.

We use to use all hilti at the company I use to work for and nothing compares I feel. The new company I work for runs mikita and not bad but no where as good I feel. In terms of quality, durability, and so on. My personal platform is dewalt and when hanging drywall at work I bring my personal dewalt drywall screwgun because I like it just a little more than our companies makita. Thanks for all your awesome videos!

I'd thrown your Hilti out the window with it running constantly like that The most important feature here is the Auto start and trigger lock on the Makita.

Hilti. Better gears, and now the new model has a light on it. They aren’t heavy, the collated attachment from Hilti is the best, I had makita when I started they are good guns as well but Hilti for top gun.

I have the makita and mine has the same problem driving screws even with a 5Ah battery on it. The problem doesn't seem to be in the battery but in the trigger on mine. When you lock it on the trigger backs off just enough to change what level of power is selected. Why they made it variable speed, I don't know. The makita also has a mode where the motor only turns on when the switch is pulled and the clutch starts to engage. So I will activate that mode and tape my switch down. That seems to eliminate the lack of power after driving a few screws.

Happy Holidays from Davenport Iowa

Thank you for changing out to a smaller battery on the Makita. Been wondering if there was a difference. My Milwaukee seems to not work as well with a 1.5ah.

I've used both the Makita and Hilti (the first Makita he showed). Both drills are great with the Hilti being just slightly better to me. The difference in performance comes in when you use the auto-feed attachments and its massive. The Makita Autofeed attachment is just pure garbage. The rubber tip continually falls off. It has a screw indexing problem leading to constant jam up ranging from slowing you down being the very least to leaving you SOL holding a ceiling board with not enough pins and a dud drill in your had. attaching and de-attaching it will accelerate the wear and tear on the head of your drill damaging the spring clip that holds the traditional drywall attachment in place. It's just god awful.

Thanks for the review. I think the Makita is worth it’s money.

The hilti is unbeatable. Love it. + they seem to be indestructible

I like them both..I like the Makita for working in places that need a quiet gun, like schools. You can turn the sound off and it even saves battery life

Howdy. I started drywalling with a corded Dewalt and loved it. Cordless guns, I've used them all. Milwaukee, Dewalt and Makita. My least favorite is the Milwaukee, doesn't seem to have the power and the other 2. Used my buddies Makita and loved it. I recently got a Hilti 4500 A22 with an auto feed. Used it only once to patch in a door opening. Seems good but I need to use it on a bigger job

I've used the ridgid drywall gun for about 3 years and just switched to makita last week, hands down the best switch and I paid 100$ for a gun, charger and 2 batteries

best maklita vs dewalt ?

Ur nuts buddy, i love ya. Im from Ireland and i do exactly what you do. Im a carpenter also

Hi, when I started with the dry wall almost 20 years ago, I was using corded Makita which is still workig, left somewhere in the basement. You can say that I am a Makita fan boy and have a lot of tools and batteries from Makita, but the auto feed attachment is not good enought imo... I have Dewalt with the auto feed, the attachment is better from the one from Makita, but the tool is not. The only Hilti that I have is the same as yours in the video, and it is the best auto feed tool that I have used. I will buy the Festool auto feed tool just to try it, but I doubt that will be better than the Hilti. Just to mention the Hilti bare tool cost around 800 euro and the Makita brushless one cost 160 euro here in Germany, but for the Hilti auto feed tool it is money well spend. Till next video.

The Hilti works great! battery lasts a long time

*10 years experience, used them ALL. Milwaukee and dw, overall good guns, nice ergonomic, poor quality, not really pro tools. Makita is clearly better than the red and the yellow with slightly worse ergonomics. (btw you are doing it wrong with makita, not using push to drive auto mode. The red has it to, great feature) Hilti is a cut above the rest, the only real pro tool with the only downside being the weight witch is addressed with the latest model. I would like to see hilti with auto mode, would have been perfect.

The most commen gun you see here is Makita than Bosch, Hilti, Festool, Metabo, Dewalt

I have both guns and I like them both but the hilti is much more premium and sinks screws a lot nicer. The makita has a cool feature where you press the button near the light on bottom and if you pull trigger and lock it the rotor won’t engage until you press the screw in

You can buy autofeed attachment for the makita!

Hey quick question about the Makita Im currently shopping for one The main problem for me when using a battery drill when installing drywall is to unscrew the one you missed Does the Makita do a good job on the reverse setting to unscrew ?

I had the corded RIDGID 3 in. Drywall and Deck Collated Screwdriver with the built-in auto feed. I should have kept it, because I need to do drywall lol.

I've used both guns you're missing a few points with the Makita they do have a available auto-feed attachment. Also the Makita has another function it's either called auto start or push start. There is a button on the bottom of the gun you press the gun is completely silent until a clutch is engaged and it activates the motor so its on all the time without hearing the loud noise of the motor. The Hilti is definitely better balanced and very smooth.

3:36 before watch anymore here’s my take: Have more Milwaukee battery tools than my hitachi/Metabo hpt, bosch, makita, deWalt, skilsaw that use…… However, the m18 fuel drywall screw gun is pretty nice, and has a collated attachment for it, the Hilti is very nice too(have used but don’t own) and have also used Makita’s version too (long w/ the collated attachment). Now, that all said, as like my Milwaukee tools, the Makita drywall gun isn’t as powerful as the others, heck…been out long time, BUT IT’S SMOOTH! Very nice and also agree, the front heavy seems to make it not balanced, but doesn’t feel bad in hand at all while using. That narrow grip i ok too, as not squeezing so hard getting hand fatigue, but at same time, the bigger grip on Milwaukee/hilti and DeWalt’s just kinda “feels” a bit more “natural” to hold. So, my recap….. if want a smooth running gun, maybe not as powerful as others, and has the collated attachments and bells/whistles….the Makita is nice (oh, the metal screw gun w/ lower rpm is SWEET AS HECK, FYI & IMO, when’s going into metal studs or screwing off metal siding/roofs etc…..it nice 👍🏻). Now, if on another battery platform, just stay there and gets that brands drywall screw gun, most likely it’s gonna be fine and work. If not in a platform and there’s a deal, I’d go Makita or buy a corded screw gun, as the cost will be significantly less & if DIYer (or doing a project) corded would most likely be my choice for you…. AND PLEASE, don’t buy the dimple but accessory for an impact driver to hang Sheetrock, they pretty much all are garbage (there, that’s being nice😉), you’ll be better off buying corded or renting than using that dimpler bit and driving yourself nuts for next 20-45 mins trying to get “dialed in”, if ever do😉 Thx Ben for vid Andy thoughts…..now, I’ll continue on✌🏻

You need an adapter for the auto feed they come either metal or plastic and you buy the auto feeder

Why don't you use the nail clip attachment?

You know the makita has a mode where it'll automatically kick on when it census pressure so you don't have to listen to it run & saves batteries Also has a brushless motor hence the funny sound 👍

i have both but hilti work awesome👍

I'll take the Makita any day, although I am also quite impressed by the Milwaukee. I've used hilti, I find their balances off, they're pricing is way off. Makita is reliable, although I would take a Milwaukee over that. But both are very good

Can i know your drill holister? the pouch at the back
