    Boarding ceilings

    To me it looks like it will only screw on the joist and hold the board close to the ceiling timbers, when it is screwed onto plasterboard it has an extra 9-12mm gap so you will have to push the board up to the joists to screw anyway. So whats the point in the tool?

    Grinding.
