Does the W18DAQ4 come with a battery?

No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a Metabo HPT 18V or MultiVolt battery and a charger.

What batteries does it use?

It runs on Metabo HPT MultiVolt batteries, which work in both 18V and 36V tools. The MultiVolt pack doubles runtime in 18V tools.

What is the difference between the three modes?

Manual drives only while you pull the trigger, automatic keeps the motor running for repeated screws, and impulse gives short bursts for control.

Is it good for ceilings?

Yes. It is light and balanced, and the two LEDs help when working overhead in dim rooms.

What chuck size does it take?

It has a 1/4-inch hex chuck, standard for drywall screw bits.

Is it worth it over a corded screw gun?

If you already own MultiVolt batteries, the cordless freedom and 5,000 RPM make it a strong alternative. Without batteries, factor in their cost.

Our take on the Metabo HPT 18V Cordless Drywall Screw Tool Only, W18DAQ4

The Metabo HPT W18DAQ4 is an 18V brushless drywall screw gun built around a 5,000 RPM motor and a 1/4-inch hex chuck. It offers three driving modes — manual, automatic and impulse — plus two LED lights for dark ceilings and closets. It is sold as a bare tool, so it runs on Metabo HPT's MultiVolt batteries, which work in both 18V and 36V tools. Against corded screw guns it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from a cord; against other cordless models, its 5,000 RPM and mode selection are its main edge. Reviewers rate it highly, though the sample is small.
