Drywall Adaptor For Screwgun

if by a drywall screw adapter you mean a phillips head with a hood on it so the screw only goes in so far, ya you can get those.

make it or not, but it does pretty much what you describe. No way would I hang drywall with the thing, but it works ok for the occasional use. Look in the drill bit section of you local tool or big box home center. They are chucked into your drill. Dave

I have used one many times and find nothing whatsoever wrong with it.

I've used the "hooded" Philips bit dozens of times and I love it. Just to put it in perspective I do own a professional drywall gun and several other drywall screw tools but when doing ceiling work I love a light 12v cordless drill and the Philips bit described. It's cheap and easy to replace when it breaks.

What is wrong with just using the regular screwgun? Doesn't it have an adjustable depth setting? I have yet to see a screwgun that can not be used for decks and for drywall.

The dimpler sets the screw at the right depth automatically. Without it you would have to try to release the trigger at just the right moment. The clutch on a screwgun depends on force, not on depth.

No, there is no clutch on a SCREWGUN. It has a DEPTH adjustment. Or are you calling a DRILL with a clutch a screwgun? In which you can use a dimpler or an adjustable depth adapter in the DRILL.
