Screws for festool drywall gun DWC 18 screws part# 769144

Any collated screws within the length restriction would work.
I've done done the special Knauf Diamondboard screws, Gabber branded, evolution branded. 'The tool don't care...'
That is the beauty of standardization. You aren't bound to one brand.
I would take a gamble that Festool isn't making their screws inhouse...

Same here. Never had any issues with them

I've used Senco and several other brands including el cheapo packs from the plaster supplies store without any issue on my unit, as I would expect anyway.
Haven't had any mis-drives so far which is really nice, unlike my Makitas.

I think hilti screw guns are proprietary, so I got a festool instead. Only used Senco never even tried to get festool ones

I've used Milwaukee collated screw strips that were used in their Sharp-Fire guns. They're the same as Senco strips.

Nah they just have another magazine adapter that allows for the strips with the screws clipped in diagonally. That would be the SD-M 1 for screws 25-35mm and the SD-M 2 for screws 25-51mm. They also have a magazine adapter that is for the same strips as the Festool DWC uses. For Hilti that would be the SMD 57.

is this regional, I can't see that SMD57 on the website (USA/CAN) just SD-M 1 and 2
Oh well, it seems! Perhaps they figured they would never get a foothold with their non-standard thing here in Europe and buckled by offering something that would make it compatible with the screws everyone else uses.
If you check here you should be able to view the fancy stuff;
Hilti Nederland
Hilti heeft elektrisch gereedschap, slijpmachines, boren en zagen, maar ook bevestigingsmiddelen, ankers, ontwerp- en lay-outsoftware en diensten voor bouwprofessionals

Almost nobody here has Hilti. The only thing in the wild from them tends to be "larger" (SDS-Max) jackhammers.

Senco user here, I wouldn't have bothered getting one if they only used Festool screws.
Festool makes some good gear but they charge like a wounded bull on a lot of the small items.
The gun (DWC 4500) is great though and I its head and shoulders better than every danm Makita screwgun Ive so far used.
Its even better than the Hilti screwgun I've used.

I was blown away at just how good the gun was! So good I sold most of my guns, but I did keep the Makitas as I have so many spare parts for them, as well the extender attachment which is super handy.
