- We call plasterboard "Gib" Here in NZ? My local rep dropped off a few tools when we were gibbing and I gave them both a quick review :)

*Great lightweight screwdriver **MyBest.Tools** and the light definitely came in handy when securing our ceiling diffuser. Battery was still charged for over a month.*
Nice
Hey man you did good with this video. if you could do a video or reply with the tools you use in general, That would be dope please. I’ve been in the solar industry for awhile installing and recently I’m going to the technician side.. I’m going to have to do drywall, so it would me much appreciated.
Try the Makita drywall cutter,
Super safe, super easy
Best Reno tool ever
Maxkil channel has great examples of crews using the cutout tool to its advantage, door, window openings etc.
Like your channel bro
Thanks for the tip, I will see if I can get my hands on one :)
Yes, finally someone holding the screw gun properly lol.
Glad you noticed :)
So what length bit goes in the collated magazine?
The bits I got in the box stick out the end of the mechanism obviously too long. Or I’m missing something here.😅
You're missing something, however since this comment is 2 months old I reckon you've figured it out by now.
Josh, gib cutter seems like a mini Palm router. Is It only for gib? Can’t we change bits for other materials as well?
Great question, I think This one is purpose built just for Gib, they also do a palm router. From what I can see you can only get one size bit in there.
is that model reliable?
Hey Josh, great channel, how are you still liking the collated gun attachment?? Does it also take wood or decking screws?
Thanks,
Adam

Hey Adam, I just borrowed the gun for my build and have given it back, not sure on screws sorry
@@nzbuilder hey no worries my friend, thanks for the reply, hope all is well in NZ!! I hear the Aussies have it pretty rough right now. Stay well!!
in my experience all new milwaukee tools will be super tight taking the battery out till its worn in a bit
Good point!
Where can I get the bits for this? Home Depot 6” bits didn’t fit without grinding them skinnier.
Found them at Tool Barn.
Awesome
The gib cut tool has a vacuum dust attachment
True thats good to know
Is it actually called gib in New Zealand or just incorrectly transposed over the years from what we call gyp board, short for gypsum?
Hey Ken, over here Gib is the main company that makes and supplys plasterboard, so by default we call it Gib... kind of like how everyone calls a adhesive bandage a "band aid" :) Thanks for watching and commenting !!!
@@nzbuilder thanks for the info and the video.
I've been round the block in terms of drywall cutters and collated screw guns . In terms of performance hilti takes it but only just , a well maintained and lubricated makita collated is right there with it . In terms of bang for buck and availability of spares makita ia a winner for us in the uk . Also use the makita drywall cutter , its the same as a roughter you have to go clockwise/counterclockwise depending if your on the inside or outside of a box , window opening etc . The Milwaukee stop/start auto thing sounded really good on paper but in reality we hated it , was way too slow and underpowered compared to the others . Great video , shout out to Scott Brown for bringing me here 👍
Good to know Jamie, thanks for watching and commenting :)
I use the MA55 and the BoschGSR 18V EC TE. 200.000 Screws on the MA55 ans still going strong
I've got two of the makita scree guns for my guys and we've given up on them. Sick of throwing it to the ground when it inevitably gets jammed up. I was looking at the milwaukee or the dewalt but if they aren't any better then I probably won't bother!
Carry 3.0 batteries on each one. More power output and logentivity than the 2.0 and lighter than the stupid 5.0
Great Tip Cheers
There's nothing more annoying than having to hand-screw something together czcams.com/users/postUgkx1McjgiqTNcTjrhvRvJWcrk5bzTeQW-Wn except for the pain in your wrist that is. This addition to my tool kit is great and I can get a lot done without all the pain and annoyance. The battery last's a long time and I have yet to run out of power when doing a small project (granted I am saying small project because I'm no construction worker). The only thing that I wish it had was an LED or pair of LEDs to indicate when it was charging and whether or not the charge was complete (or full).
💯
It’s 2 deference models one can accept collated and one doesn’t accept you should be clear more
I'm getting into carpentry I was a car painter prepper I'm throwing myself in the deep end
nice
Has anyone here used this tool on a metal frame
Why does Scott brown carpentry have more views and subs and you have less like very less
Haha I am note sure if this is supposed to be a compliment or a critique...
or just a simple observation?
But yes Scott is the man, he has been consistantly putting out good content for a while now :)
@@nzbuilder just a question since both you guys are from NZ
@@Sa.d.bo26 Dumb question...from NZ
Shaking tools in front of a camera does not make a good video.
