Disston Company 160362 Drywall Screw Setter Depth Control

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 160362 is a drywall screw setter designed to automatically countersink screws to the correct depth in drywall, particle board, and plywood. The bit stops driving the screw once it reaches the proper seating depth, preventing overdriving that can tear drywall paper or leave fasteners proud of the surface. At roughly 3.88 inches in length and 1.88 inches in width, it fits standard drill and driver chucks. Weighing under half a pound, it adds minimal mass to the tool setup. Electricians, drywall hangers, and general contractors reach for this type of setter when hanging board at volume or securing substrate panels during rough-in work.

This screw setter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where consistent screw depth is critical. It works across common substrate materials including drywall, particle board, and plywood, making it a versatile bit for framing, finish carpentry, and panel installation tasks. The automatic depth-stop function reduces the need to adjust driver clutch settings repeatedly when moving between fastening locations or surface types.

Installation Notes

A licensed contractor or experienced tradesperson should seat the setter firmly into the drill or screw gun chuck before use. Ensure the driver is set to the appropriate RPM range for the substrate being fastened. Inspect the depth-stop collar periodically for wear that could affect consistent seating depth. Disconnect or power down the drill before changing or inspecting the bit.
