Returned the drill. I was trying to use long screws in other than a vertical application. I was not able to make the drill perform consistently. Others have reported great success.

I just don't get it
I recently bought a refurb and was very nervous after reading all of the negative reviews. Well, after reading the manual and watching an online video, I got a bucket of collated 3" screws and tried it out. I lost about 5 screws and was really worried.....that is until I realized I'd set the screw length to 2". After resetting the driver to the proper screw length, it's worked flawlessly. Obviously, I can't speak to its durability at this point...we'll see. So much for the negative reviews. I'll be working on my deck fence tomorrow.

    Rigid Dek screw gun
    This screw gun is horrible. The screw continued to get stuck and it caused me alot of waisted time trying to use it. I returned it for my and got my money back. I would advise not to purchase this product if you're looking for fast results.

      Junk.
      This is an absolute piece of poo. Bought it for floor framing with 2.5” long square drive screws. Had trouble loading the screws and the square drive bit rapidly rounded off. The bits are an off length and only able to purchase at hd. Thought it might work better with 1-1/4” Philips head drywall screws. I was wrong. Now stuck with a bucket of 3” and 1-1/4 collated screws. Don’t even think of buying this junk. Not familiar with senco or other function but if you need a collated gun I’d certainly try anything else.

        Do not waste your money on this
        I just wanted and afternoon trying to get this working and ended up having to finish my subfloor by hand. It doesn't load screws properly and the bit keeps popping out.

          avoid at all cost
          Hands down the worst rigid tool out there. I try to stick to tools I can depend on and rigid has never let me down, until now. this gun struggles to bury the screws flush, misfires on a regular basis and jams up several times per strip. yes, per strip. I have yet to go through one strip of screws without multiple jams. not just one, multiple. I have to have someone next to me to unjam it or hold the sheet up while I un jam it. what good is an unreliable tool, especially a drywall gun when you have a sheet holding up over your head and it jams? look its cheap for a reason and the reason is it is a steaming pile of trash.

            Absolute crap
            Bought this to use on a basement finish and let me just say that it was useless. It did not feed right, would jam up, and the depth was not consistent when it did work. I went and bought another brand and worked just fine. Don't waste money on this one. I like Ridgid tools and have a lot, but this one, well it is trash.

              Hello, Johnson - We're sorry you've had such a difficult experience with the screwdriver! If the screws are not advancing well, it could be that the screw length is not set correctly. To make preset depth adjustments, first, unplug the screwdriver. Next, remove the nosepiece screw by turning counterclockwise. You may use the supplied hex key to loosen and tighten the screw if desired. Slide the nosepiece into the slot along the side of the feed housing. Align the marks on the adjustable nosepiece with the edge of the feed housing for proper screw length. Reinsert and tighten the nosepiece screw by turning in a clockwise direction. Lastly, make sure the nosepiece is securely attached before operating. We hope this helps! And if you're using it in these conditions and are still experiencing the same issues, then please email us at Reviews@RIDGIDmail.com. ridgidtti

              Good machine, makes a life of the contractor much better and the job much fester. Only two down sides of this is the capacity of the drill and the jumping screws. It would be better with a coil compartment to make our lives easier. Also the screws would be more efficient with the star 20 or 25 bit. Overall, a nice gun. Ill recommend, with some minor improvements.

              I have this tool and the first attempt I used it to screw some particle board to a ceiling was basically a failure. I am getting ready to install some drywall on a basement ceiling and if it doesn't work better this time I am returning it.
