Thread: GMC Screw Gun

Not sure mate but Ryobi make a TEK driving gun for that purpose that might suit?
Model ESD600K.

Screw guns for roofing and gyprock are two different animals. It would have too high revs and not enough torque for roofing screws.

ya probably better off getting a 14v or 18v cordless drill/driver.. hook onto ya belt/ nail bag when yer on the roof much easier than dragging a lead around behind ya

Thanks for all your replies...I will take on board.

HI'YA LEETON,

Don't waste your money, I have one of these, and they are not very good for plaster. No good at all for roofs.

Roofing screws - doesn't everyone use a hammer?

I bought a Ryobi tek screw gun and just completed a reroof with 1200 screws and couldnt be happier. I was going to purchase a dewalt 18V cordless (because I want one !) but talking to my roofer mate recommends using the electric option. Just be careful of the cord somehow catching on a sharp or edge of the sheeting otherwise nothing to worry about. I should have bought one years ago.


whats the ol saying right tool for the right job.

Last time I did a pergola roof I tried the cordless option. Worked ok but switched to the corded screw gun about 1/3 of the way through. Although you have to fiddle with the cord, generally its no real problem, and corded gives more consistent power and ended up being faster for me.
