The DEWALT DW272 4,000 rpm VSR drywall screw gun is built tough but stays easy to handle through a full day of hanging board. The 6.3-amp motor powers through drywall screws without stalling, while the depth-sensitive nosepiece lets you set the screw depth once and keep it consistent across the job.
DEWALT DW272 Drywall Screw Gun: Fast, Consistent, and Lightweight
The DW272 is a drywall-specific screw gun, not a generic drill. Its two-finger trigger gives you better control in a tight grip, and the helical-cut steel and heat-treated gears are made to survive jobsite abuse. The metal gear housing adds durability where it matters most.
Depth Control and Nosepiece Replacement
The depth-sensitive nosepiece is the part that controls how far each screw sits below the board surface. If you notice the depth creeping or the nosepiece feels loose, replacing the DW272 nosepiece is a simple fix. Check the part number for your specific assembly and swap it out to bring the gun back to set-and-forget performance. The nosepiece can also be adjusted for different screw lengths and required depths.
Whether you're a drywall contractor or a homeowner putting up a few sheets, the DW272 gives you strong, repeatable fastening at a price that makes sense.

Product Details
Drywall Screwgun vs. Drill/Driver
A drywall screw gun has a depth-sensing clutch that stops the driver once the screw reaches the preset depth. A regular drill does not, so you get inconsistent dimples and torn paper. The DW272 is purpose-built for hanging drywall fast and clean.
Set the Depth Correctly
Insert a screw in the bit.
Press the tool against a test board.
Rotate the depth adjustment collar until the screw head sits just below the paper surface without breaking the face.
Maintaining the Nosepiece
Check the contact ring for wear. If you see uneven surfaces or the screw depth changes, the nosepiece may need replacement. DEWALT offers a replacement nosepiece assembly, and swapping it takes minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DW272 include a depth nosepiece?
Yes, the DW272 comes with its depth-sensitive nosepiece installed. It lets you set screw depth once and keep it constant.
How do I replace the DW272 nosepiece?
Remove the screw or retaining ring that holds the nosepiece in place, slide off the old assembly, and slide on the replacement DW272 nosepiece. Tighten to spec and test on a scrap piece.
Can I use the DW272 to drill pilot holes?
It is designed for driving drywall screws. For drilling, use a drill/driver; the DW272 has a quick-release bit holder rather than a true drill chuck.
What is the weight of the DW272?
It weighs about 3.9 lb, which reduces wrist strain during long installations.

Great for small jobs
This screw gun is perfect for my small drywall jobs. It's lightweight, so I can work all day without fatigue. The 4000 RPM makes quick work of screws. The depth-sensitive nosepiece is accurate, so I get consistent results. I've used it on a few projects and it hasn't let me down. The only downside is that the chuck may need an adapter for hex bits, but that's a minor thing. Overall, a great tool.
