Description
The Yato 18V cordless drywall screwdriver uses 18 V direct current (d.c.) as its power source and comes with a 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery included. The key performance figure of the device is its 0–4000 min⁻¹ speed, which can be adjusted electronically with the trigger. The high speed is optimised for fast fixing of plasterboard and wood-based boards. The total mechanical weight of the tool is 1.49 kg, which is sized to reduce strain during long installation work such as building ceilings and partition walls.
The device has a standard 1/4″ (6.3 mm) hex chuck, which allows standard screwdriver bits to be used. The collated screw attachment included with the machine is calibrated to support collated screws of 3.5–4.2 mm in diameter and 25–55 mm in length. This attachment automates screw feeding and ensures continuous installation work without placing screws by hand. The reversing switch allows screws to be removed quickly and the driving direction to be changed.
Power is supplied by the system’s 4.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, which allows a long autonomous run time without mains power. The battery has an integrated charge indicator that allows real-time monitoring of power consumption. The charger included in the kit restores the battery to full charge in exactly 2 hours.
The structural safety of the tool’s enclosure meets the requirements of the IPX0 rating, which means the device is not protected against moisture ingress. Motor speed and torque are adjusted steplessly, which guarantees an even screw countersinking depth regardless of material thickness. The ergonomic design supports one-handed operation at demanding working angles, such as overhead installation.
Intended use and suitability:
The collated screwdriver is designed for serial installation work in the construction industry that demands efficiency. The automatic feed and high speed of the device make it the first choice for large installation projects.
- Partition walls and suspended ceilings: The collated screw attachment and 0-4000 min⁻¹ speed allow serial fixing of plasterboard to metal and timber studwork. The device feeds 25-55 mm screws automatically, which speeds up boarding over large areas and eliminates manual handling of individual screws.
- Installing wood-based boards: The 1/4″ hex chuck and adjustable speed support fixing OSB boards, plywood and other building boards. Electronic speed control prevents screw heads being overdriven and the material breaking.
- Mobile installation work: The 18V battery system and the device’s own weight of 1.49 kg allow long installation work at sites where no fixed mains supply is available. The battery capacity and 2-hour charging time minimise downtime on sites without electricity.

Yato YT-82075 instructions for use:
Mechanical steps for fitting and operating the device at industrial sites.
- 1. Connecting the power source: Use the charger to make sure the 18V battery is fully charged (2-hour charging cycle). Push the battery into the slide rail at the bottom of the handle until the mechanical lock clicks into place.
- 2. Preparing the tool: Choose whether to use the device with the collated screw attachment or with the 1/4″ chuck directly. Fit the collated screw attachment over the chuck and feed a 25-55 mm collated screw strip into the feed channel according to the mechanical guides.
- 3. Adjusting the screwing depth: Adjust the depth stop of the collated screw attachment according to the screw length (25-55 mm) and the thickness of the plasterboard. This ensures that the screw head sinks flush with the material without breaking the surface paper of the board.
- 4. Screwing process: Place the device perpendicular to the surface. Press the trigger while pushing the machine evenly against the surface being fixed. The trigger controls the speed in the range 0-4000 min⁻¹. The feed mechanism automatically moves a new screw into place after each fixing.
- 5. Maintenance: Remove the battery when the work step is finished. Clean plaster dust out of the feed mechanism of the collated screw attachment and the 1/4″ chuck with compressed air to prevent jamming.
Warnings:
Critical technical warnings to ensure electrical and occupational safety.
- Moisture and electrical safety: The IPX0 rating offers no protection against water ingress. Water getting into the electric motor or battery connections causes an immediate risk of short circuit.
- Mechanical hazards: The collated screw feed mechanism contains moving parts. Fingers or clothing getting into the feed channel can cause a risk of crushing or cutting.
- Dust exposure: Screwing plasterboard produces fine plaster dust that can wear the motor and irritate the airways. Wearing a P2 class respirator is mandatory.
- Hidden structures: Check behind the surfaces being screwed before installation to prevent accidentally piercing live cables, gas pipes or water pipes.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- Can single drywall screws be used in the Yato YT-82075 instead of collated screws? Yes, the collated screw attachment can be removed, so the device works as a conventional drywall screwdriver with the standard 1/4″ (6.3 mm) hex chuck.
- What length of collated screws can the feeder handle without jamming? The feed mechanism is mechanically calibrated to support industry-standard collated screws 25–55 mm long and 3.5–4.2 mm thick.
- What is the exact time to charge the battery from empty to full? The fast charger included in the delivery charges the 18V 4000 mAh (4.0 Ah) lithium-ion battery from empty to full charge in exactly 2 hours.
- Does the 18V battery supplied with the device fit other Yato tools? Yes, the 18V 4.0Ah Li-Ion battery belongs to the Yato 18V battery ecosystem and is mechanically and electrically compatible with other devices in the same system.
Recycling instructions:
Instructions by material for appropriate industrial recycling of the components.
- Screwdriver body and charger: An electrical device containing electronic components and a motor must be taken to an official collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) at the end of its life. Do not dispose of it as mixed waste.
- Li-Ion battery: The 18V lithium-ion battery contains reactive and flammable chemicals. Tape the battery terminals to prevent short circuits and return it to an approved separate battery collection point.
- Packaging materials: Recycle the cardboard delivery packaging of the device in cardboard collection and the protective parts in plastic collection for reuse.
