Does anyone know where I can buy the screws, as above, for the screwdriver? I usually source them from the UK, but surely they must be available here in France......surely!!!!

Anton Redman II Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 An enquiry on another forum a couple of years ago produce no responce.Leroy Merlin were selling an expensive driver but did not stock the collated screws as a one off about the same time.Bricodepot did a cheap and cheerful one based on Powersurger drill about the same time but stopped selling the belts once the first delivery sold.I believe some Point P have 'vis en bande' but could not find them in the catalogue.http://www.europe-outillage.com/les-accessoires-vis-en-bande-c-800_869.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks for the replies, it is much appreciated.....silly prices in comparison with UK prices. I would still save about 60% on French prices if I have them sent over from the UK, eg UK supplier about £7 per 1000... one of the French suppliers 35 euros per 1000!

Alex H Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 [quote user="sid"]Drywall sounds like an Americanism to me.[/quote]It is. I think it's because the wall can be constructed with no wet materials i.e. cement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm sure you are right Alex. My comment was tongue in cheek, but I do have this aversion to creeping Americanisms, especially if I can describe it in English or French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Stan.Today I was having a sort out of my fixing stock trying to make some space and I said to myself "what am I going to do with these boxes of collated drywall screws?", then I saw your posting!!!!!!!If you want to PM me we can probably come to an arrangement, I dont know your location but if you travel on the Auroroute from Calais it is easy for me to be at the Assevillers services.I have 4 full boxes of I think 32mm long collated screws less a couple of strips where I tried out my autofeed screwdriver that turned to be a chocolate teapot [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman II Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Which make and model of autofeed screwdriver please? So that I do not repeat your mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Mines a "happy go luckie itchifanni rising sun pot noodle feng shui" special from Makro and probably available from any other undiscerning purveyor of K-rap.You get what you pay for, Makita to date hasnt exploited their good name and reputation with badged junk.The most annoying thing is I bought the autofeed screwdriver and collated screws before I had actually started the placo, I have loads to do and have already done about 1/4 of it, I now know that I dont really need one! Having a good léve plaque with a walk around platform means I can put all the screws in a ceiling board without getting up and down, if I were doing drywall all day I might buy all the toys.
