screw gun

Powered fastener driver

A screw gun is a power tool designed specifically for driving screws, resembling a drill but with features optimized for fastening: adjustable depth settings, a nose that holds screws in place, and often a mechanism that disengages when the screw reaches the desired depth.

Drywall installers rely heavily on screw guns: He ran the screw gun along the seams, sinking screws every eight inches.
