Can you use this for driving into wood as well as drywall?

I think so as long as the wood is soft enough for the screw head to sink in far enough to trip the clutch

yes the Dimpler will work for wood or drywall and has a lifetime guarantee Gyplok Fastening Systems Inc.

The tool is preset to sink screws below the surface 1mm, so you can drive screws in drywall or plywood sub flooring etc. the bit is also replaceable..

It can. But, it is so powerful, I'd be afraid of driving the screw right through the wood. It is also quite big and somewhat heavy to use as a driver.

No would be my answer, but please elaborate on "issues" so I can be more specific. I have had this tool for about 6 months, and love it. It drives screws just fine, in and out, and put 1 1/2" x 5/16" lag bolts into 2x material using a socket adapter, no problem. It is possible to break drywall screws, so be careful on the trigger in hard material.

You could use this to drill fine holes in plywood, the chuck clamps down to pretty much nothing, so in theory any drill but could be used. This is a rotary tool though, not a drill, so the torque is much lower (drills have a multi-stage gearbox to get high torque). Therefore you need to apply much more modest pressure to the bit when drilling and let the speed of the tool do the work.

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into.I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;>)

I have the cheaper Milwaukee tool and it is not near the quality as this one. It started making noise after a short time. So i bought this tool and it has proven to be problem free. I have driven many 3" long drywall screws in wood using this tool with a Milwaukee impact driver and still no problems.

Yes you can. I do it with a small block of wood. Not using a block of wood to make it soft might crush your tool.be careful and safe with this unit. Works grate

You can in moderate to soft wood. The speed is slow on the Skil 2350 but adequate torque. I personally use this as a screw driver, not a drill. My 18 v drill with a quick change attachment make by Dewalt where I can switch out a drill to a phillips driver is better.

Probably. however I think you should re-enforce corners for extra stability. Drywallscrews work good.

Yes, that's what I had got it for. I use it in a small power driver for little holes because it has low rpms. Just make sure it is tight before using.

There are really two issues here. First, are the cutting tips hard enough to cut the material. If it's carbide-tipped, yes. If it's just high speed steel, you might get away with a few time. Check with Dewalt's website. The second, and more problematic issue is whether you have enough torque with your driver. There are alot of cutting teeths contacting the surface all all one. Multiply by the 2" lever arm, that's alot of torque. Cutting wood and plaster is okay. But cutting steel, that's alot of force. And a related severe problem is with the precession of the cutting point, which tend to make holding this thing difficult by hand. I used mine to cut through 3/4" thick wood. It was already wobbling a bit. With steel, it'll be a bigger problem. With a 4" diameter, it'll be worse.

you can use it to drive a screw into a pre-existing hole, but it is not powerful enough to make a hole. You couldn't drive a screw into a piece of wood, for example.

I don't think it will do that. i have driven lag bolts into wood with no pilot up to 3/8 and it really struggled.

Lol. Odd question. It's for drywall not solid wood. So I'd say maybe but not really.

I would not know I use it for wood and occasionally for concrete, variable speed by trigger

Yes it will drill through wood and metal with no problem. This is like the best set that I found which can go through both materials, but don't put too much pressure on smaller bits when going through metal let the drill do the work.

I assume you will use it to hold the end of the flex shaft to drive the flex shaft? If so, yes! If you want to place it into the business of the flex shaft then I would need to see the business end of the flex shaft. If i can find a photo tonight I can confirm, or not! I will try! Mike.
