Can i use any collated drywall screws in a dwc drywall auto feed gun also any web links to buy them thanks festoolers

yes, you can. I myself have the old protool 12V version; for that one you have to use coarse threaded screws when attaching the boards to wood; but I think the 18V version is probably plenty powerfull.

/edit: I have used a bunch of different brands: senco, grabber, makita and mostly the generic house-brand of one of my suppliers (because they are just as good and a bit cheaper)

I use Senco - easily available at the local borg and Amazon.  No problems...

I bought the gun earlier in the year. Hilti switched to a different format so they won’t fit. I’ve been using the Senco Duraspin #6 1 1/4” and they have worked great. Home Depot carries a package of 800 for around $18.

A few months ago amazon had buckets of 1000 for $16.95 with free shipping. I ordered 20 of them. You can fit about 3500 screws in a Sys 3 which is what I do to carry them around. The plastic tubs aren’t the best for jobsite storage when doing Sheetrock repairs during my remodeling.

Not sure I would be buying them if my main gig was sheetrocking, to much $$. For repairing and light work like a bathroom kitchen remodel this gun is awesome.

1 1/4" are for 1/2" drywall, and 1 5/8" for 5/8" drywall.
