Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Effortless Drywall Installation with DEWALT DCF6202 Collated Attachment by Roberto Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

UPDATED: Great general purpose bit that can use more bits

DCF6202 could have been a great addition to the DCF620 drywall screwdriver. I have a project dedicated to this, but I quickly tried it out on a drywall test strip on some 2x4s. I ordered a few extra baits for what I believe was intended for this disassembled feeder. I ordered a 5-bit set (DWA6PHC2-5) for an older cartridge (DCF6201). Although they don't say it will work with the DCF6202, these bits do work. You should change the depth setting to the setting where the screws are at the top of the drywall. You can downshift there. I bought them by accident, but after a long search I could not find any replacement bits for this bit (DCF6202PH2-5). They were only available from an online store I was unfamiliar with and they were $20 plus shipping for 5 bits. The older bits are slightly longer at 6 inches, while the ones that come with the DCF6202 are 5โ…ž inches. They were also more widely available and available at half the price. With that in mind, it works wonders to speed things up. It's quick to attach and easy to adjust. It snaps on and off easily with a screwdriver and can pivot to get you closer to corners. He didn't stick and didn't miss the screws. I was able to use several different brands of screws (Senco and Simpson) with no problem. By the way, save the plastic strips. I reload them and use them several times. That saves money. Overall, this is a great addition to an already great tool. The only reason I'm removing the asterisk is because there are no spare bits and the bits are only available in the ph2 (Phillips) version. For the price of the bit, they should include several spare bits of different types (Phillips, Square, Torx). UPDATE: If you're looking for replacement PH2 bits (Phillips), I've ordered and tried "5-Piece Reduced Collated Magazine Bits" (from a company named after a Wisconsin city) and they work great . They are 1mm shorter than the DeWalt bit that came with the kit. The depth adjustment does this easily, and they're about $10 for 5 bits.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model
