The DEWALT DW267 Variable Speed Reversible Drywall Screw Gun is a dedicated tool for professionals and serious DIYers. Its 6.5-amp motor provides ample power for driving screws into drywall and light metal studs. The Versa-Clutch system lets you adjust torque precisely, preventing stripped screw heads and ensuring consistent depth. The 2,000 RPM maximum speed allows for rapid fastening, while the two-finger trigger reduces fatigue.
DEWALT DW267 Torque Settings and Clutch Adjustment
The Versa-Clutch on the DW267 allows you to dial in the exact torque needed for the material you're fastening. Turn the adjustment collar to change the depth and pressure applied to the screw. For drywall, start with a lower setting and test on a scrap piece; increase the setting until the screw head sits just below the paper surface without breaking it. For metal fastening, adjust to a higher setting to achieve secure engagement without over-tightening.
How to Change and Adjust the DW267 Clutch
To adjust the clutch, unplug the tool and turn the collar at the base of the nose. Align the desired number with the arrow; higher numbers increase torque. If the screw is stripping before seating, reduce the setting. If the screw isn't fully driven, increase the setting. Always practice on scrap material to fine-tune the adjustment.
Designed for Comfort and Durability
Helical-cut steel and heat-treated gears resist wear, while the metal nose and gear case withstand jobsite impact. The rubber grip and two-finger trigger offer comfortable control for extended use. The variable speed trigger lets you drive screws at the ideal speed for the material.
If you're installing drywall or fastening metal, the DW267 is a reliable choice that gets the job done right.
