You say you've never seen drywall/plasterboard fixed with nails!........How old are you for pete's sake?

luckily for me Ebay emailed an offer of 15% of any bought item before Dec 4th which got me about £35 off and also i went through "Quidco" and got another £5.20 back

Welcome to the family Rich!

One tip for the driver. Be sure and purposeful when you're driving. I've noticed if I stress about screws not going in properly, they don't? I broke the little flappy doors on the front of mine during the first few weeks. Or one of my lads did anyways. A screw tip caught it and whoever was using it drove the screw straight through it!

Gadget? I've seen id put up with nails, but to be honest, most of my working life has been around lath and plaster or brand new drywall. I guess its down to the types of buildings round me? Mainly Georgian, Edwardian or newbuild!

lool, the one thing i am more cautious about is me pushing too hard, i have been known to be a little heavy handed in the past. sometimes i forget that i have nearly 18St weight behind my push

yes and if your 13 st and miss the stud the gun goes straight through the
plasterboard. in your case probably through to the next room

years ago i actually did do that. i tripped when carrying a storage heater and i went straight through one bedroom wall to the other.
