BOSCH D60498 Drywall Dimpler® Screw Setter, Number 2 Phillips

In the past I have used the drywall dimplers that come in the 4 packs at the big box stores. They work ok, but quickly strip on the Phillips head side, and aren't great at driving drywall screws with a good countersink. I am doing a whole home renovation and have had to replace around 8 sheets of drywall in my kitchen and living room. This Bosch Drywall Dimpler has been amazing for countersinking the drywall screw the exact amount needed each and every time, allowing me to follow up afterwards with mud to hide the screws. The only way you can mess this up is if you don't drive the screw in straight. If you drive the screw at an angle it will causes a portion of the head to stick about the surface of the drywall, which you do not want, of course. I have driven hundreds of drywall screws with this so far and see no signs of wear on the bit yet. Great tool at a great price!

This thing actually works, for the most part. If it starts to tilt, you will have to set it deeper without it. But, I used it on a 2 room remodel, and was satisfied. I even had a corded drywall gun I didn't use because this was more convenient.

After trying this product after using the much cheaper drywall dimple bits I’m still left unsatisfied. The non rotating bits break the paper because the rim cuts into the paper. These supposedly prevent that because the rim is allowed to rotate freely. But doesn’t work. It drives the screws in too deep which still defeats the purpose. Would I use these on the ceiling? NO… would I use these on the wall? Maybe, but no. Just use a normal drill bit and learn when to let off and control each screw. Waste of money even though the idea of this was worth the shot.

I never knew that I needed a dimpler until I began hanging drywall during a kitchen remodel. This little cutey takes all the guesswork out of setting screws at just the right depth. Say it out loud. Dimpler. Who doesn’t need a dimpler?!

I was able to get two sheets of drywall hung before this dimpler jammed! There was not getting it un-jammed. I am returning it to Amazon for a replacement which will determine if I had a defective unit or if they are systemically flawed. Meanwhile I am back to carefully using regular bits.UPDATE: I was finally able to un-jam the dimpler. And so have elevated the score from 1 to three stars. Its tendency to jam remains an issue

Works great for drywall installation.

Came on time and is good quality.
