A DeWalt corded drywall screw gun.
A screw gun is similar to a power drill, but designed specifically for driving screws. A screw gun looks like a drill, but has a "nose" instead of a chuck. The nose holds an interchangeable 1⁄4-inch (6.4 mm) shank bit, commonly known as a tip. The most common types of tips are 1 inch (25 mm) No. 2 Phillips, T25 Torx, and flatheads. The nose on either type of screw gun can be adjusted to countersink screws to the desired depth. The user must apply pressure to the bit to engage the clutch and drive the screws.
