    Ive got around 300sq. to ply, over raised access floor.
    Normally I F3 & coil nail, and never had any issues.
    I have heard some good things about the stand up screw guns. Does any one use them ? Any good ?

    Im surprised its quicker. Is that just because there is no need for F3 ?

    In that case, the quickdrive might not be any use, screws might be too long, they were talking about making it useable with shorter screws a while back, but not sure if they've sorted it yet

    One of the reasons for asking is the contractor had bought the screws for the job, and was surprised when I said I used a coil nailer.
    I don`t know what screws he bought or any more details.
    Will ask him Monday
