Most Don't Know DeWalt Drill Tool: Drywall Screw Setter

This is the Dewalt DW2014C4 Drywall Screw Setter. This Dewalt drywall screw setter is from the Dewalt drywall tools line of driver bits. The engineers at DeWalt tools finally designed a must have tool for drywall screws. The DW2014C4 Dewalt drywall bit accessory helps you drive the screw into the drywall at the perfect depth, without over driving it and causing the drywall paper to tear. this is one of the most clever DeWalt driver bits they have produced. We have links to the Dewalt DW2014 beeow. This is one of the required must have tools for your DeWalt Drill. These deWalt drill accessories should be in your bag to augment your drywall screw gun. This video is a great demonstation of the drywall screw gun vs drill, where we show our Senco screw gun in action. This Senco drywall screw gun performed well, and so did the Dewalt DW2014C4 Drywall Screw Setter.

Don't want to be nit picky but it's not the clutch that makes it work. The beauty of it is you can use any drill. Thanks for showing people about it.👍

[@ronaldjacobs8561]

Your are right that the clutch is not required. But when the clutch is set perfectly for the task, It will automatically prevent driving the screw too deep. Thats super important for the longevity of Drywall, because if the screw goes too deep, it will tear the paper and that reduces the holding power of the screw. Over time, you will get sagging and dimples where the screws are pulling through (you know how houses and buildings subtly move and creep expand and contract).

[@MikeJones__Who]

Those 2 drywall screws you used the Senco gun on look over driven as hell lol

Thanks Fred and I'm glad you liked the video and yes that is one awesome cutting tool we go through boatloads of cardboard boxes especially when we're doing flooring and we don't throw anything out we recycle cardboard any chance we get and that cutter tool cuts up all of those boxes and all of our appliance boxes and all of our cabinet boxes as well.

[@aceman3223]

Me sitting here stressed out and about to screw in drywall for the first time - was worried about demolishing the drywall paper but after seeing this I will be grabbing this screw setter for sure. Thanks a lot for sharing this!

[@jeffostroff]

glad to help ace!

[@505_chill_official]

Jeff, awesome comparison with the drywall gun, the drill, and impact driver, especially with a 4k cam, thank you. I am totally buying a DeWalt drywall adapter, they looked perfectly set with both the impact driver and drill.

[@jeffostroff]

Yes, I have several of these spread out in all of my parts organizer bins and drill bit accessory bins.

[@whatusername1234]

Try using them with a screwdriver or a drill with mechanical clutch. Use low speed and experiment with the torque setting. Also keep the dimpler bits protected from getting damaged by coming in contact with other tools/metals so that they won't form sharp edges that may damage the paper. Try using something like the dcf601 12v screw driver with these.

[@jeffostroff]

good ideas thnaks!

[@carlhenderson7254]

Love them with the sleeve...

[@jeffostroff]

Yup, this one tiny bit save you from having to lug around that other Senco drill

[@JVH9001]

I'm pretty sure the "clutch" action in your video was the Philips driver bit "camming out" of the screw (Philips is designed to do that). The buzz was probably the driver skipping over the screw. It doesn't rely on the drill clutch if you have your drill in the highest torque setting as your DeWalt in the video. Maybe on the lower torque settings it would use the clutch. I can only get my drill to "clutch" about half the time at the lower torque settings--the other half the time, the Philips driver bit is skipping out.

[@jeffostroff]

either way the screw does it's job, this screw setter helps it get to the precise depth every time.

[@JVH9001]

Yes sir, agreed. 😁 Handy product either way.

[@bmw325ia]

Have the bit but didn’t know the proper usage, now I do, thanks

[@jeffostroff]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[@jeffostroff]

IT's an awesome tool and works every time.

[@yoyoitsKerry]

Good video! I'm pretty sure I have some of these. Didn't know what they were for! Now do you have any tips on how to keep the screwdriver plum when attaching screws to the ceiling drywall?

[@jeffostroff]

The drywall screws should stay in place when stuck into one of these DeWalt drywall screw setters. But anyway for production speed sake, we use a Senco drywall gun with strips of 50 screws on a strip that ge tfed into the gun. If you watch our other video on raising the kitchen ceiling here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXuri5KJbspmbrc you'll see us using that gun to quickly screw the drywall sheets up to the kitchen ceiling.

[@milwaukee_69]

I use a drywall attachment from Montana that can be used on a drill and impact driver and does the same thing as the dewalt bits.

[@BayAreaMCs]

Only one of those 3 screws from the senco would have passed inspection, other two broke the paper

[@jeffostroff]

Yes, it needs to be adjusted.

[@papitosabe]

Can you ELI5 what this means to a noob like me....and they all looked the same to me.

[@guillermom.g155]

Greetings from Costa Rica, very usefull, Thanks.

[@jeffostroff]

[@maagu4779]

Clutch setting is the key! The idea is ok, for small jobs. But really most jobs are not that small. Especially when hanging ceilings. The longer you spend the more on your back!

[@brandonw4800]

Definitely worth it if you can’t afford a drywall screw gun. Good diy repair persons bit

[@dscordobab]

Hi Jeff. Thank you for the tip. I just bought it at Amazon. I hope you get your commission. Cheers.

[@jeffostroff]

Awesome, thank you!

[@guillermom.g155]

The most of people in Costa Rica they use the mesh tape instead of paper tape for the joints, but i´m sure is better the paper tape according to what i´ve learned.

[@jeffostroff]

I use mesh tape a lot myself

[@derrcontracting3098]

is it the clutch kicking in or is it the screw setter slipping on the Phillips head once the screw goes deeper than the screw setter can??

[@jeffostroff]

Good question, it may be the latter

[@johnq6123]

Is there much difference between using driver with setter bit vs actual screw gun?

[@jeffostroff]

We just got our new DeWalt screw gun and will do a tool review video on it

[@AuronFFX]

4:00 what is that tool? That seems like something everybody should have for wrap rage

[@jeffostroff]

That was sold by Skil, you can't get it anymore, but Worx has a very similar model, we think they are made by the same company, they are so similar her eis my tool review video on that cutting tool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKicnH2Pe8mLipI

[@31acruz]

why is it not magnetic like many others so it would hold the screw ?

[@jeffostroff]

that would be nice, but holds them pretty good

[@victoriajones410]

Your shirt is pretty cool. Thanks for the info.

[@jeffostroff]

Thanks for watching!

[@MTB_Bay_Area]

Do you think that the circle created by the depth guard weakens the paper?

[@jeffostroff]

No it doe snot weaken the paper, it is just a tiny indent. Mud covers right over that anyway, feathered down several inches out.

[@chuckg2016]

No, not at all.

[@Fredengle]

Can it be used with anchors? And I was going to get a screw gun but I am watching your video perhaps do you think it would be better to avoid buying the screw gun they seem expensive would the poor man's please tell me if you agree should I just use this bit in my hammer drill instead it will save me money over buying screw gun? Thoughts please thank you

[@jeffostroff]

Yes, you can use it in the hammer drill, but not in hammer mode.I would just use it in the regular drilling mode

[@diogomartins4671]

What about drilling into drywall and steel stud ? which bit or drill would be best ?

[@jeffostroff]

This bit should work. Once in a blue moon I get a cheap stud or one that seems thinner and more flexible and the only way to pierce it is with a 1/16 pilot drill bit

I'll subscribe when you organize that mess of a garage you force us to look at in these videos.

[@jeffostroff]

Dang, might be a while

[@jeffcox6539]

I have. My question is why do they come in a pack of 4?

[@jeffostroff]

Probably because we lose and misplace them. I bought 3 packs of 4, and put one bit in every one of cases to make sure I always have one, then put a 4 pack in my screw organizer case with the drywall screw bins in it.

[@91fox35]

They come in a pack of 4. Because they rely on the bit camming out of the screw, therefore they will wear out rather quickly, good for small jobs but better pack all 4 of your doing anything large as they will wear rather quickly

[@consumersgasman8376]

you need to work with your 4k camera as the image became quite blurry 2 or 3 times when it switched focus from drill to your finger, sure it must be able to adjust field of depth

[@jeffostroff]

We have better control over it now, that was the first month we owned it, and Nikon has issued 4 bios updates to address autofocus, and now we mostly use new face tracking autofocus features

This is great... if you like using shitty Phillips head screws. I try to avoid Phillips like the plague.

[@solomonemmanuel7930]

[@larrynew7258]

Still,it would be better to use a magnetic tip if it will work with one.You losing that screw kind of proves that

[@jeffostroff]

I need to dry it with the magnetic sleeve, this whole tip is non magnetic. But maybe the magnetic sleeve will be enough.

[@katiebelmont595]

It's hard to tell, is it slicing the paper from the rotation of the setting surface?

[@jeffostroff]

The screw is what slices the paper

[@katiebelmont595]

@@jeffostroff No, I was watching a video from another guy who was saying never to use these because the circular stop busts through the paper. After watching a bunch of videos and trying out a hella cheap one from Menards today, I think whoever was using one on his job site was Hulking out on it or something because I didn't have that problem, even with the 2 for $3 ones.

Tried it. Sucks! Leaves the screw-head too high. Buy it if you don't mind dry-walling with a #2 Philips screwdriver in your tool-belt setting every other screw. Although you might only notice after you started plastering, more fun for you. Yaaaay!

[@jeffostroff]

I never have a problem. What impact driver are you using?

[@gmailsteve1]

@@jeffostroff .... wasn't using an impact driver. (Maybe I should have read the instructions? LOL!) I was using a Milwaukee M18 Fuel. I was just trying it out since it was a small bathroom job, with only few drywall boards. I normally use my corded DeWalt drywall gun. Own 2 of those. For the screw setter to properly work had to push it hard enough so that the actual "clutch" made an indentation on the paper... I din't like that, so I had to reset every second screw after that. I work alone and time is very valuable, my clients need to see results at the end of the day; .. so I decided I played enough. I reckon it's a helpful go to gizmo if you are in a bind.

[@DJShaunLouis]

"textbook?" I believe the idea is to NOT break the paper face on the sheetrock. 2 of the three screws did...

[@jeffostroff]

How would you get a screw into the drywall without break the face of the paper? You are supposed to break the surface, but the top of the head of the screw should not go past it. You should not see a large white ring around your screw once it is set.

[@DJShaunLouis]

jeffostroff we can agree to disagree - best practice is to “dimple” the paper surface - not break it.

[@chuckg2016]

"Dewalt Drywall Screw Setter" Um, yeah. Except they've been around for years from various manufactyers, and I've always known them as drywall dimpler. The clutch has nothing to do with this accessory but can be manually set to the desired break point.

[@jeffostroff]

Yes we have some from Milwaukee also.

[@johnyoung5482]

Anyone try these on cement board?

[@jeffostroff]

Cement board the screws should be flush with the surface. Drywall the screws should be just a frog hair beneath the surface, so I would not use these on cement board.

Or so that the veiwers can get a better sense of what it would be like to actually be right there watching you fumbling with the screws in real life?? 😲 Woooow! Great investment! ...Hey, Whatever floats your boat. 😉👍 Also, it's called a drywall screw setter, also known as a Dimpler. It's not a "cool DeWalt Drill Tool". These types of "driver bits" or "screw setters" have been around for a while. They're pretty common, and DeWalt is definitely not the only company that has ever manufactured them. There are many different types, with different features for different uses. Not only does this video completely fail to cover any other relativly useful pieces of information pertaining to these bits (as mentioned above), but it also absolutely should not take OVER TEN MINUTES to show how to use this incredibly simple tool accessory! Jeez! Sorry if that comes off a bit harsh (no pun intended). I'm merely pointing out the obvious. Come on now. .... Just sayin'.

It's amusing when uninformed clowns don't actually watch the video they are whining about. If only you had actually watched the video at 1:20 and 1:52, and 6:20 there's at least 3 times I called it a screw setter, so your lies about me not knowing what the tool is called are just that lies. And whoopie, so you know it's a drywall screw setter after watching our video so you try to make everyone here think you know something and rehash the info we just dished out to make it look like you know something that we didn't. We see trolls like you every day pulling this trick every day. Isn't there a Fortnite channel you can go troll? The adults in the room are having a meaningful conversation.

I'd argue back, because I do love to do that (especially when someone is as wrong and as defencive as you are), but this is just too good. You see, that's the thing... I'm not trolling. It's really constructive criticism, but you have to see it from the viewers prospective. A video of this caliber is absolutely begging to be criticized. IMO anyway. Just kinda figured you'd be expecting this kind of feed back. I mean, come on. Can you seriously tell me that you believe shooting yourself in 4K, in your home garage in front of that mound of junk behind you, is in any way necessary... In 4K?? Here, I want you to try something. Go to the search bar of KZbin and type in 'Tools Shop product video 4K' just to find videos where others are working with tools, in their workspace, and pick a few similar to your video to watch in 4K, just for a minute or so each. Then come back and play this video. Then go pick a few more similar to yours, in 4K, then come back and watch this one again. Tell me if there are any crazy differences or not. Pay attention to the quality of the product, the quality of the workspace, how clean or messy it might be, how professional the speaker is, the overall production value. What aspects made the use of 4K video useful? Did they use close up shots to show off the vivid colors of the paint job or spectacular detail of whatever perfect project or creative tool they are working with? That's what you would need an upgrade to a 4K Camera for. Do you still think you needed to upgrade your camera... For this? Though, Whatever, Man. Do what you want, It doesn't bother me. Just know that when you have a clickbait title on an overly mediocre video like this (that you're bragging about using 4K video to shoot it with), be expecting there to be a few "trolling" comments, merely pointing out the obvious redicuious-ness of it all. ...once again...
