Festool Screwguns & Screwdrivers

Festool screw gun kit is for fast, repeatable fixing on board and stud, where you need consistent depth and fewer snags all day.

When you're on a run of plasterboard, fermacell or timber sheeting, speed matters but so does finish. A Festool screw gun keeps the screws driving clean and flush without tearing paper or chewing heads, so you're not going back for punch-ins and patching. Pick the right nose piece and magazine set-up for your screw size, and you'll fly through ceilings and walls with less wrist ache. Browse the range and get your fixing sorted.

What Jobs Are Festool Screw Gun Tools Best At?

• Fixing plasterboard to metal stud or timber battens where you need repeatable depth control so the heads sit flush without ripping the paper.
• Running long ceiling lines on refurbs and new build, where a dedicated screw gun keeps the pace up and reduces missed or proud screws at taping stage.
• Sheeting out partitions and service risers when you want consistent drive speed and less cam-out, especially on awkward overhead starts.
• Batch fixing on second fix and fit-out work, where a magazine set-up cuts down on pocket-fishing for screws and keeps you moving bay to bay.

Choosing the Right Festool Screw Gun

Sorting the right Festool screw gun is simple: match it to the fixing volume and the material, not just the screw size on the box.

1. Collated magazine fixing vs loose screws

If you're doing full rooms of board, go magazine because it keeps your other hand on the sheet and your pace stays steady. If it's snagging and patching work, loose screws can be simpler and you are not dragging a magazine round tight corners.

2. Depth stop and nose piece set-up

If you're tearing paper or leaving proud heads, it's usually the set-up, not the screw. Dial the depth so the head sits just below the surface and make sure the nose piece suits the board type and screw head you're running.

3. Weight and handling for overhead work

If you're on ceilings all week, a lighter, well-balanced screw gun matters more than you think because it saves your wrist and shoulder by lunchtime. For walls and bench work, you can live with a bit more bulk if it buys you stability and control.

Who Uses Festool Screw Gun Tools?

• Dryliners and ceiling fixers who need a Festool screw gun that drives clean, consistent fixings all day without constant depth tweaking.
• Joiners and fit-out teams sheeting studwork, boxing-in, and lining walls, where speed is pointless if the heads are tearing out and need patching.
• Maintenance and refurb crews doing repeated board repairs, where a proper screw gun stops overdriving and leaves a finish you can tape and skim without fuss.

The Basics: Understanding Screw Guns

A screw gun is built for one job: driving fixings to a consistent depth, quickly, without chewing the head or damaging the board face. Here's what actually makes the difference on site.

1. Depth stop (the finish maker)

The adjustable nose sets how deep the screw goes, so you get the same finish on every fixing. Set it right and you avoid proud screws that snag the trowel, and you avoid overdriving that rips the board and weakens the hold.

2. High speed drive for repeat runs

Screw guns are geared to keep driving at a steady pace through long runs of fixings. That's why they feel different to a combi drill, especially when you are doing hundreds of screws in a shift.

3. Magazine attachments for collated screws

A magazine feeds collated screws one after another so you can keep the tool on the work and move along the line. It is all about speed and consistency when you are boarding out full walls and ceilings.
