The Dimpler® is a drill attachment that prevents drywall screws from driving too deep into the drywall, avoiding mistakes and unprofessional looks. It has a guard that allows the bit to push into the drywall slightly, but only enough for the screw to set. It is mainly used by non-professionals, but professionals sometimes use it for small and quick installations.
The Dimpler® is a drill attachment that uses a #2 Phillips head. 2 or another type of bit and prevents the drywall screws from driving too deep into the drywall, which is why it is also called a drywall screwdriver. When someone uses a drill without the Dimpler®, there is a chance that he or she may drill the screw too deeply, meaning the screw can easily pop out; also, it looks unprofessional. There is a guard on this attachment that allows the bit to push into the drywall slightly, but only enough for the screw to set. Non-professionals use this tool more often than professional drywall hooks, because they don’t work with drywall regularly and may find it easier to make mistakes.
Drywall is a relatively soft material that is easy to drill into. When fixing drywall, it’s a good idea to drill screws through the surface so that it attaches to the wood behind it. A regular drill bit doesn’t contain a guard, so it’s very easy to go too far into the drywall and screw up the installation. Going in too deeply can cause the drywall to become brittle in the screwed areas and the screws can pop out. This can also take the screws out, rendering them useless.
With the Dimpler® attachment, the drill will only go into the drywall far enough to properly install the screw. Putting a guard on the bit itself does this. The head of the bit protrudes slightly, so only a small portion pushes into the drywall. Using this attachment, the user will be able to install screws without making a mess. Unless the user exerts considerable force behind the drill, he will not be able to drill the screw too deeply.
The Dimpler® accessory is made primarily to handle a #1 Phillips head bit. 2. This is because most drywall screws use this tip size, making it the most versatile. Different shapes of bits, such as square and hex bits, can also be placed in the guard, making the drill suitable for other screws.
Firstly, the Dimpler® accessory market is not professional. This is not because Dimpler® is an inferior product, but because most professionals know how deep a drywall screw can drive, so the cap isn’t as useful. While non-professionals are the main buyers, professionals sometimes use the protection for small and quick installations.
