For everyone wondering about the test I showed where the DeWalt did a terrible job on limiting the torque, even at the lightest setting, I just shot a new video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB6HFxejSsQ) where I thoroughly tested five drills with big batteries, little batteries and in their high gears and low gears. The results were pretty crazy. The DeWalt DCD999 didn’t do well. It’s a fantastic drill overall, just not so great on limiting torque. And just to clarify, the Flex drill shown in this video was in all of the exact same settings. Big battery, 1st gear, and the clutch worked way better. Every drill is different.
Everything is made to be more complicated then it needs to be. I’m an old man and remember our drills had no clutch to fuss with. You just drilled the dam screw into the wood. A clutch is just something to prematurely break as if the Chinese made tool is not already junk enough. Geeez.
drills are for drilling holes, drivers are for driving screws
you are a kind boy, soft spoken boy, great teacher and very skilled husband.
How are you supposed to know in advance which clutch setting you need for every scenario.
