Makita FS2500 Drywall Screwdriver: High-Performance Corded Screwdriver for Drywall & TEK Fastening

The Makita FS2500 is a professional-grade corded drywall screwdriver engineered for fast, efficient, and precise fastening of drywall screws and self-drilling (TEK) screws into various substrates, including metal framing, timber, and decking. Known for its excellent balance, ergonomic design, and robust construction, the FS2500 is a reliable tool for continuous use in demanding drywall and construction applications.

Features

• Powerful 570W Motor: Delivers consistent power to handle challenging applications and drive screws efficiently. Available in both 110V and 240V versions to suit different site power requirements.
• High No-Load Speed (0-2,500 RPM): Provides optimal speed for rapid screw driving, especially crucial for high-volume drywall installations. The variable speed trigger allows for precise control over the application.
• Optimal Torque Output (17/29 Nm): Offers sufficient torque for driving various screw types, including self-drilling screws up to 6mm capacity and drywall screws up to 5mm capacity.
• Silent Synchronized Pin Clutch: This innovative clutch mechanism engages only when pressure is applied to the screw, providing quiet operation, particularly beneficial in noise-sensitive environments, and ensuring positive engagement with the screw head.
• Adjustable Depth Locator Assembly with Sure-Lock™ Feature: Allows for precise and consistent screw depth setting, preventing overtightening and ensuring flush or slightly recessed screw heads, which is critical for a smooth finish on drywall. The "one-touch" locator design makes removal and adjustment quick and easy
• Ergonomically Designed Pistol Grip: Features a comfortable, rubberized soft grip that fits well in the hand, reducing user fatigue during prolonged use and enhancing control and manoeuvrability. The tool is well-balanced for easy handling.
• Lightweight Construction (approx. 1.5 - 1.6 kg): The lightweight design, combined with precision balance, contributes to ultimate user comfort and reduces strain during overhead or extended applications.
• Durable Aluminium Gear Housing: Provides robust protection for the internal gears, contributing to the tool's overall durability and longevity in tough working conditions.
• Integrated LED Job Light: Illuminates the work area for improved visibility, especially in dimly lit spaces, increasing productivity and accuracy.
• Forward/Reverse Rotation: Allows for convenient removal of screws as well as driving them.
• Lock-on Trigger Button: Located mid-handle, it allows for continuous operation without constantly holding the trigger, reducing finger fatigue during repetitive tasks.
• Steel-Reinforced Belt Clip: Provides convenient storage and easy access to the tool when working at height or moving around the job site, increasing durability.
• Directional Air-Flow Vents: Designed to channel the tool's air output away from the user's face, improving comfort.
• Convenient Bit Storage: Often includes on-board bit storage (e.g., nose cone holder below the pistol grip) for quick access to a spare bit, reducing downtime.
• 1/4" Hex Drive Shank: Compatible with standard 1/4" hex screwdriver bits. Typically supplied with a 5/16" magnetic socket bit.
• Double Insulation: Provides an essential layer of protection against electrical shock, enhancing user safety.

Applications

The Makita FS2500 Drywall Screwdriver is ideal for a wide range of fastening applications in construction and fitting out:

• Drywall Installation: Fastening plasterboard to timber or metal stud framing in walls and ceilings.
• TEK Screw Fastening: Driving self-drilling screws into light-gauge metal framing, exterior sheathing, and metal decking.
• Subfloor Installation: Securing chipboard or plywood subflooring.
• Fencing and Decking: Fastening decking boards and fence panels (where depth control is crucial).
