Returned and will never buy from Northern again
The tool was bought as preholiday gift for my cousin and was returned to the vendor since he has a cordless one. I bought him another tool from Amazon very pleasantly. The return experience with northern is a nightmare, and was the worst in my ten years of internet shopping. I followed every step of their instrucions for returning an unused item the day after receiving the tool, and was promised that northern will get back to me within a week regarding the return. I send them an email as well for my record. No one called after a week, so I called, and was told to wait for another week. So I waited, and called them after waiting for the second week, and was again told to wait. Nothing happened. In the fourth week, their rep. called me to pay for both the return postage plus 15% restocking fee because they feel I never wanted the tool. When asked why it took so long for them to get back to me because their 30-day return policy is almost up, the rep. had no explanation and denied receiving my email. What a shock. The one star is giving for northern's customer service and I can't rate the tool since it is never used.

Corded screwdriver works well, especially on drywall
My drywall projects grew in scope as I gained experience, so I decided to invest in a screwgun. I have installed drywall in a garage and several rooms. I bought the DW 276 because I might also use this for decking or flooring. This tool works great on drywall, rapidly and consistently driving screws to the proper depth. I have placed plywood subflooring with this tool and have found that the "feel" of this application was different from drywall, but the tool was good for this application as well.
