So here is my query.  I have the DWC 18-4500 Cordless Drywall Screwdriver with the PH2-AF-55 long bits to use with the magazine.  I am installing Hardibacker on the floor before tiling and as many of you know, there are a boatload of screws to sink into the Hardibacker.  The screws fit into the discarded plastic screw holders and it would make life a lot easier to use the DWC to sink them quickly and consistently.  Here is my dilemma.  The screws are a SQ2  square drives.  Does anyone know of a Centrotec SQ2 bit that is the same length as the PH2-AF-55?  This would make my install so much easier.  Thank you in advance
 
In Europe Festool also sells PZ2 and TX20 bits which are 152 mm long and specific to be used with the DWC machines.

I've found SQ2x152 bits from Wera (05134806001). Found it at KCtoolco
In the picture below the actual lenght isn't correct.

Isn't it easier to get other screws like PH2, PZ2 or TX20?

Thank you neeleman.  Hmmm, says 1/4" drive.  That doesn't fit Centrotec I believe.  Not home to check another 1/4" drive unfortunately.  I'm going to take a chance on this though as I will be able to use them in my Milwaukee Fuels. 
 
The DWC has no Centrotec drive! Then the bits should have CE in the name.
Why should it, there is no need the chance between drills and bits?
If you need the PZ or TX bits, I can send them to you.
 
Neeleman, thanks so much for the help.  I found a 6" which is pretty much 152MM length SQ2 Centrotec bit from Snappy.  I am going to give that a try.  Cement board is a bear to drive screws through so hopefully this will help me laying the 600 sq. ft. of Hardibacker.

All the best,

Better take the DWC 18-2500 then, but unfortunately that's NAINA.
Hope the 4500 does the job.
