This corded screwdriver for drywall is an excellent choice for driving screw after screw into sheetrock at a consistent depth. Since hanging sheetrock can be a multiple-day job depending on how many walls you are replacing or building, having a corded model can be more reliable than recharging a battery. The two-finger rubber trigger, durable steel gears, and lightweight body of this tool help you get through long work days and closer to the home of your dreams.
