Hitachi SuperDriver collated screw driver system Jan 31, 2010 By Ron Riley
This bit and the Hitachi "superdriver" collated screwdriver system sucks.
I paid over $300.00 for the superdriver system so I could drive screws into cement underlayment board for ceramic tile, without being on my hands & knees. For an additional $ 150.00 I purchased 3,000 collated screws with the LOZ screw head, because they weren't supposed to strip, mis-feed, etc. "like the other brands".

The Hitachi superdriver LOX screws are only available via the internet, so you have to plan your job in advance
and buy more collated screws then you think you'll need. Cement board screws are $50.00 a thousand.

Long story short, the LOX bit fell apart after 2,000 screws.
About 200 screws mis-fed and fell out of the strip before they could be used, once the strip location is used, you can't reinsert the unused screw.
Another 100 or so screws didn't seat flush like they were supposed too. And needed to be driven flush with another sheetrock screw gun.
A second attempt to drive the screws flush using a stand square head bit, usually strips out the LOX head.
The LOX screws strip out four times as much as standard square head screws (I love standard square head drive screws)

A new bit is only available via the Internet, so I was stuck with an unfinished job and 900 screws I couldn't use.
I tried to purchase Senco phillips head screws to finish the job, since a phillips head bit is included with the gun. Senco has gone bankrupt, so their screws are no longer available.
I had to borrow a sheetrock screw gun, purchase individual screws and manually insert 600 screws one at a time to finish the job.

Documentation I've read while researching my purchase of this gun implys the extention can be removed, allowing the screwdriver gun to be used without the extention. The included and Hitachi website documentation is extremely POOR. It states areas should be lubed, but its up to the user to figure out where lube is needed.
No part numbers are shown for the bits (which break after 2,000 screws).
The bits themselves aren't shown anywhere in the documentation either.
None of the documentation shows the screwgun and the extention in a combined fashion.
Nor does it show how to disassamble/assamble the extention to the gun itself.

When it works properly (about 80% of the time), it's great, otherwise it sucks.
To say it's BADLY OVER PRICED is an under statement.

I'm only buying a replacemnt LOX bit so I can use the 900 or so screws I now have left over on some other future project.
I wouldn't buy it again.

couldn't disagree more Nov 26, 2010 By John R. Bergstrom "berqdog"
I'm no a full time contractor, but have completed numerous home projects with this gun over the last several years since I purchased it. I've built two large decks (we moved just after I finished the first and am just finishing a deck at our new house) and have put at least 8 thousand screws threw this gun . It works like clockwork every time. The only time screws misfead is when you are trying to use it at an angle - even then it usually works once you get the hang of it, but maybe 15% will have a problem. For example, I had to go back and fix 2 screws on the main deck that I'm just wrapping up out of 3000ish. I've used it for numerous other projects around our home as well and love it.

I give it four stars because you cannot buy the screws or the driver bits at a local hardware store, which requires you to always plan ahead. If you're like me, you don't always realize that you might need to use different sized screws for part of a project until your half way through and realize that what you have it too short/long, but I've accepted having to put a few screws in by hand - well worth not having to spend all day on my hands and knees. As I've used the gun more, I've learned to keep a variety of screw lengths on hand. However, because I also use the gun for framing, I do end up with a handful of screws that drive in fully as a result of trying to force the gun to work in tight spaces or odd angles which requires you to take the gun apart to pull the driver bit out so I can use it on my regular drill to finish up. I could easily just order a couple of replacement bits (they are reasonably priced ($3 to $7) and are easy to find on the internet, but keep forgetting to do so.

I was under the impression that you could use a bit from any other screw gun and other screws if you didn't like the lox screws (however, I actually think they are much better than a typical wood screw and worth the hassle to order them online). However, I can't say for sure.

I'm sorry that the other reviewer had such a bad experience with the gun - I've loved it as have several friends that have borrowed it. In fact, that may be the biggest down side to owning this - all of your friends/family will want to borrower it.
