DEWALT DW272 Drywall Screw Gun 6.3 Amp

Overview

Running at 4000 RPM on corded electric power, the DEWALT DW272 is built for speed rather than the low end torque used for large hole boring.

4000 RPM sits well above the 0 to 1000 RPM range typical of a general purpose drill, a sign this tool is geared toward fast, repetitive driving rather than heavy boring work. Corded electric power keeps that speed consistent for the length of a job, at the tradeoff of staying tethered to an outlet.

• Brand: DEWALT
• Model: DW272
• Power source: corded electric
• Speed: 4000 RPM

Who it's for

Works for tradespeople doing high volume fastening where a corded tool at the wall is not a limitation, such as production work in a shop or on a fixed job site. Less suited to buyers who need cordless mobility or who are drilling large diameter holes that call for a lower, higher torque speed.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Spinning at 4000 RPM lets each trigger pull drive a screw or small fastener far quicker than a standard speed drill would manage. Because the power is corded rather than battery fed, that speed holds steady under load instead of tapering off as a charge runs down.
