Metal Roofing with collated fasteners: Is it worth it?

Is it worth having a metal roofing gun that utilizes collated fasteners? After using it for a job or two, I can immediately say yes...if you can find the fasteners for a reasonable price. When installing screws in a metal roof either DIY or for a profession, the worst part is bending over all the time, trying to juggle a handful of screws, and inevitably dropping the screws. Collated fasteners and Simpson Quik Drive are definitely the answer, but at the cost of about three time the screw cost. If I can find a source for screws that are economically reasonably for the time saved and effort it takes to install, I will definitely be using this more often.
The Quik Drive installs the screw with consistent depth every-time. Yes, I have had a couple issues here and there, but overall what tool doesn't have an issue.

My biggest hurdle with this tool is sourcing fasteners, but it is pretty awesome and glad it turned out good after buying it

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s

This is awesome. Thank you for the close up look at how the fasteners sit when they are installed.

Just had a Morton pole barn built. They used this style ( not sure which model they used ) to secure the roof, they only install the screws on the Hi Rib section. Done a great job ! You will enjoy it !!! I enjoy your channel and your craftsmanship !!

I've been using a Senco screw drive tool for a couple of years now and it works great. Does make it easier.

Really love these random tool videos because it's the kind of thing where sometimes you don't want to risk the investment if you're not gonna use the tool that much, and I always found getting a tradies real world opinion is better then a store sale person. Plus I'm a Wall and Floor Tiler so I don't need a wide range of tools but love tools.

I got one as well. I love mine. I use mine for roofing and decking. Only dislikes about is the adjustability for people over 6 foot (sucks being bent over in that position for hours), screw count it can hold and type of screws, inability to toenail, and the occasional "hang ups" (happens to me about once in 25 screws).

Great tool Kyle . Tool like that would be great for older men in the trades and younger guys like me that got back issues. But I believe its efficient for everyone who does those type of roofs ,etc.

We use those collated screw guns for subfloor as well. They have more uses than one might think, but it does take some skill for sure.

Cormack Builders, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. We do a ton of steel. Love to have the attachment for the hex head screws. We have the DeWalt for doing deck screws and subfloors, love to have that one also.

Sweet tool. I know that I would have one if I did a lot of roofing. Thanks for the video

Used that for screwing down Durock flooring in a house that had 800 sq. feet of tile floor. Worked like a champ. Fastenal had the screws, unsure if they exist where you are; sometimes they are right in line with the price and others a bit expensive.
