Don't get too excited @TonyM I used mine (Duradrive 4500) today for the first time.
50mm senco screws on a overboard got spat out the side every 1 in 10.
38 mm evolution screws much the same, also would jam quite frequently.
Found it difficult to get the screws in properly in the corners, it might just be me as I have used a makita for the last 7-8 yrs and they feel different, but I'm sure it's nothing to do with the way it's set up and unless it performs better Monday it will be going back.
Im thinking of getting the hitachi one as i have a cordless that shares the same battery etc i dont do loads of boarding on a daily basis as prefer wet plastering myself sand cement and skim etcI compared the size of the end with that of my Hilti, and they seemed exactly the same. In tight corners, I tend to use my impact with single screws rather than try and fail with the collated end.

Been using mine again today @TonyM but only with the cone and 65mm screws.
It's great can't beat how quiet and fast it is, just need to get faster at having the next screw ready now, if it's possible.
How many screws do you think you get from a battery?
The Hatton Jewellery thieves used a Hilti DD350 drill to break in, police have said if they had used a Festool we could have nicked them!!Really think it's not man enough. I'm annoyed with myself for selling my Hilti. Going to have to fork out £560 for a new one now.
No. Festool chap coming down on Thursday to look at gun. Said they would either repair or replace it. Told him no matter what they do, it's going on EBay.You get a full refund from festool?
What was his excuse/bullshit?So Festool man came and for ten minutes or so, it worked fine. Then it started spitting screws out, thank f**k. They are going to replace the collated attachment for a new one, even though it was playing up with a brand new end that he brought with him. No refund though. At least I can flog it with a new end, so hopefully won't lose to much.
There was no excuse. He said he's going to explain the problem to the technical department. Also showed him how the bit flies off sometimes when you pull off the collated end. He was only going to offer me a couple of boxes of screws until I said that I can hardly sell the gun to someone, knowing that it spat screws out. That's when he offered the new end. I think he was pissed off because I'd gone and bought a new Hilti so soon. The Festool was costing me time, going back over nearly every screw.What was his excuse/bullshit?
What made you even try festool? Same as Andy, I bought a Hilti off of your high recommendation of them.The Hilti has saved me over a day, completing a 2 bed apartment on the job i'm on at the moment. That's a saving of nearly £250, so this new gun is going to pay for itself in just over 2 weeks. That's mad.
Had a demo and was impressed with it.What made you even try festool? Same as Andy, I bought a Hilti off of your high recommendation of them.
