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 (it'll be out on the 24th) 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.

@wormball 3 месяца назад

You forgot the most important fact. The right bit to use with said clutches is pozidriv, which looks almost exactly like phillips, but has less tendency to cam out, so you do not need to push the drill like crazy. And you have to use not only pozidriv bit, but also pozidriv screws, otherwise your bit will cam out even more wildly. You can distinguish pozidriv bits/screws by second smaller cross at 45 degrees to the main cross. Or you can use torx etc. The phillips was actually invented when only plain drills were available, so your choice was either to tear the screw head away with said drill, or to let the bit cam out, so all freshly driven screws were "slightly" damaged by design. So actually at least four facts, so you can make another 20+ minute video from this.

@ruzziasht349 3 месяца назад

Big batteries and small batteries-size has nothing to do with it. It’s the amount of Ah (Amp-hours) that’s important, as that’s where the power comes from-not the size of the battery.

@ruzziasht349 3 месяца назад

here you go @BradMosch_engineer - some more wisdom for the "expert" - make sure your batteries are big ones - hahaha

Do you not think different woods, hardwood would be of use for the clutch?

@paracite 3 месяца назад

One thing to also note is that DeWalt flexvolt batteries output more power voltage than their standard XR batteries. So the driver was made for those batteries in mind, the flexvolt will increase a bit more power for their impact drivers.

@ishutwar7470 3 месяца назад

For me, even more important using the clutch is driving bolts. The right clutch setting prevents the bolt head being snapped off, preventing the 5 minute job ballooning into a 5 hour job. Also, when driving bolts without the clutch (drill setting) you risk injuring your wrist when the torque counter rotation suddenly hits your hand once the bolt is fully seated.

@LRN2DIY 3 месяца назад

Great points. That clutch is a bolt saver and a wrist saver at the same time.

@rswow 3 месяца назад

@@LRN2DIY So why did I buy a drill with clutch AND a separate driver then? Power-tool newby here.

@LRN2DIY 3 месяца назад

@@rswow That's a totally valid question. Check out my video on Drill vs Driver. The torque on an impact driver is typically way higher than a drill because of the rotational impact. They're unmatched for driving bolts, lag screws and screws in general and they use less battery in the process. They're also smaller, lighter and they help avoid kickback. A drill with the clutch engaged, on the other hand, can be used for any delicate work (smaller screws) and for a lot of bigger jobs (bolts, lag screws) so long as they don't require a high torque situation. The clutch will automatically limit the torque of your drill's output but could save your wrist. If you need more torque than the highest clutch setting, that's where the impact driver is king. I have a little Milwaukee M12 Fuel Surge Driver (hydraulic impact driver) and I use it for all kinds of things but it's not as sensitive as a drill with a clutch. I hope that help.

@UmaROMC 3 месяца назад

That last one is why I never tighten or untighten bolts with a drill, I use an impact hammer or a simple wrench. Hurt my wrist (just stayed home for a day) when undoing a bolt. Bolt didn't want to move, but the drill did, and smashed my wrist right into the concrete

@xeridea 3 месяца назад

Try using an impact driver, there is far less kickback, much easier on the hands.

@@kasauerkrautimgulasch It is clear the tester is not an engineer and thus all he will ever produce is subjective results which are meaningless. Ditto a lot of posters are equally clueless. Who buys DeWalt in the first place? It's all very well being "American" about the tool but there are better tools available, notably from Europe. We should not forget the "incompetent workman blaming his tool". Professional tradesmen simply adapt to what tool is available. I know I did. It's the hamfisted wannabe amateurs that concern themselves with power. They just don't have the finesse to use such powerful tools in the home environment. I ascribe some of the blame to caring wives who haven't twigged their husband is a very amateur clueless oaf and believes their nearest and dearest is another Norm Abrams or Tommy de Silva and thus buys them tools on the advice of some wily shopkeeper who simply wants to see a profit. I suspect too that these tyros don't trouble too much with reading the "destructions" either. Probably such stuff is best left to the "professionals" ... although that can be a lottery in itself.

@ethankriegel5957 3 месяца назад

I appreciate the tear down of the clutch system. I'm a commercial HVAC service tech. I have M18 tools for construction/installs, but most days I use the M12 hex-drive drill driver is my go to. Most panels are sheet metal and a hex-drive impact rounds out the holes. Using a clutched drill allows me to consistently remove and reinstall panels without needing to make new screw holes or us larger screws.

When I first learned to use the proper power setting, it blew my mind (in a good way). Instead of tapping the trigger on the impact, setting the ideal power setting on my driver gave me a perfect screw depth every time. Sooo much more reliable.

Even if you buy into a brand, there are plenty of adapters out there - They're all the same batteries internally whether they're marketed as 18v or 20v, so you can put a Dewalt Battery on a Milwaukee/Makita/Flex or vice versa with no issues. The only caveat is to *never* charge a battery except on it's matched charger.

@garybush2671 3 месяца назад

Very good for the newby to get a quick-start on using a drill. As a professional, having a whole host of drills, and varying over the years, clutches will vary from MFG to MFG, and then add in usage. Density of woods, age, and a host of other things add to the variance involved. Age and usage of the drill are definitely a factor. Simple situation. My favorite Bosch Impact and regular drill for cabinet installation, the drill finally gave-it-up, the new replacement was a WOW-Factor - quick learning curve. Last quick note. the hardware you are driving, I.E. type and make of the screw and pilots has a large factor in the overall success. As an over-review of this video, ... this guy is on his game. He's quick, to the point, doesn't drag out the obvious with idol chatter. As a professional woodworker (Certified KCMA - Old School) This guy is worth the listen, I may be looking for other videos.

The difference is not just in the chuck of the drill but also the resistance of the substrate. Especially when you drill into wood, the density and resistance is not going to be consistent within the same piece. Less of an issue with metals, plastics, composites...

You're absolutely right. You can't ever count on two areas in a wooden board to have the same density, so this is an imperfect test. Hopefully it still gets the point across though.

Hex 2-Speed Screwdriver - Torque Specifications Chart is found in the manual for each Clutch settings (1-5 is referenced to Starting point 5-15 in. lbs.) also mentions Applications to use these settings on "Small screws in softwood" The MAX for this powered screw driver is 275 in. lbs. - Now a similar Dewalt XR BEAST you demonstrated according to the manual starts in setting "1" at 20 Ft Lbs. = 240 In. lbs. with a MAX clutch setting at 152 Ft. Lbs. = 1825 In. lbs. The clutch is working fine it is just a BEAST of a drill =) LOVED the shirt you had, "I have enough power tools" . . could never have enough tools and there is a tool for every project and job. Happy Drilling and driving everyone, make sure to use the right tool and the clutch settings accordingly.

Never really use my clutch (except in my car) but my Q is, does it wear out the components since they separate and essentially slip. Great videos. Finally found you after all these years. Keep it up I think it’s important to learn and use things correctly instead of just buying more and more stuff like other utubers lean towards.

I have used my DeWalt (same model as the one you used here), but I noticed the clutch settings act upon the fasteners differently depending on the battery I'm using. If I use a Flex-Volt battery, I get similar 'over-driven' results as you did. So I tried the other batt's and sure enough, the clutch acted like the other driver/drills I have. Then I used the normal (not Flex-Volt) when it was getting drained from level 2 to level 1 charge status, and that produced less force so it sunk the screws less than a fully charged battery. I believe the clutch settings are arbitrary for the same reason, too many outside forces are possible to determine one number = one, consistant result. Don't get me started about the status of the driver tip, or quality and hardness of the fastener! The other factor I've learn over the years is material deviations, even in the same piece. That Douglas Fir you were driving into...as soon as you get within an inch of the knots, the wood becomes much more dense, and the screws will not go in nearly as far given the same setting. Even when driving into the darker lines where there are no knots, the slow-growth lines are much more dense... I'm pretty sure most people have figured that out, but I teach woodworking and like to show the younger students things which will make their experiences more fulfilling, their projects turn out more satisfying. Personally, I use the Milwaulkee hydraulic driver most of the time to drive fasteners because I twist the heads off screws using anything else. I forget the official name of it, but I know it works far more effeciently because the impact upon the fastener is not as harsh, yet it drives with sufficient force. Thanks for the presentation. I realize not ever little aspect of a subject can be included.

Great points here. The Milwaukee Surge driver is the one you’re referring to and it’s my go-to tool as well. Easily my favorite driver to use. I love the battery insights here as well. I’ll have to do some experimenting with those DeWalts to see how that plays out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I noticed this battery effect after buying a dewalt 20 volt impact / driver. While I do do some around the house 'large' scale DIY stuff on occasion, the vast majority of my DIY time is spent on small / medium scale projects like props and tech toys, so I ended up also buying a 12volt dewalt drill too just so I could have a 'delicate/precision' general use drill for smaller scale tasks that don't call for the 20volt drivers' "I-will-drive-this-or-die-trying" energy.

Something that surprised me that you didn't mention in the video though, is the fact that just like each brand/model varies in its intended use, they are also color coded for easier identification of its designed purpose. Some are coded for general "house" use, while others are coded for more professional uses (usually carrying more features/torque capabilities).

They can be shorter and not having the grinding clutch sound is nice too. I just wish they were more sensitive.

@MikeVideos327 2 месяца назад

On modern drills the power settings are for different torque applications. I haven't seem a drill im years where 1 isnt the strongest setting. This makes sense. Low speed = high torque For the purposes of this test, you would have seen better results using a higher "power setting" Staying on 1 ensured you had maximum torque. Low setting = drilling holes High setting = driving fasteners The only exception to this rule is when they put a dedicated "low" mode for electronics or plastic. You understand the clutch, but not the power settings. Ever driven a stick shift? What gear do you use to go up a hill or gain more torque?

@@dmoqppsoysc Interesting I always found the slower RPM / speed setting tends to sit the screw head a little higher, If I drive it hard and fast on 2 it'll sink deeper down before the clutch slips at a given torque setting.

@onmyworkbench7000 3 месяца назад

A point that I would like to bring up with drills with mechanical clutches is if you are having trouble getting a drill bit to stay tight in the chuck try setting the clutch to a light setting then tighten the drill bit in the chuck by hand then hold the chuck with one hand and run the drill while holding the chuck and let the clutch slip and click, this put an intermittent force on the chuck that helps tighten the the drill bit in the cluck.

@onmyworkbench7000 3 месяца назад

@@dirtrider88 Yes I know that is how it is suppose to work. But for some people they can't tighten by hand and the ratcheting of the clutch tightens the chuck more.

@TheGothicHangman Месяц назад

While I’ve utilized torque settings on my drills, actually how precise it can be blew my mind. Bosch impact drivers have a ratcheting system so fasteners never get overtightened. Where it matters I always drill a countersink hole with a bit, we all know thats cleaner. In the theater we always just used the driver bit to start that off. Always good to pick up helpful hint, thanks for the video!!!

Good points about different types of clutches. My experience is that mostly, mechanical clutch is more consistent and has way more dynamic range. It seems that when you get a "weaker" drill, it's clutch range is more suitable for lighter loads. It depends on the make and model but if "light" load (not big fat bolts etc. are being driven) is being used a smaller cordless drill is better suited for the job. It usually weighs less and is shorter as well.

@sauliluolajan-mikkola620 3 месяца назад

Glad you mentioned the critique of electronic ”clutches”. The operating principle may vary by manufacturer, but here’s one explanation for the issues: Electronic torque limiters in their simplest form detect the amount of current the motor draws. When it goes up, the power is cut at a level you can set with the dial. However: cutting the power only stops the motor from actively turning but the rotor and gears still have inertia that could push it too far. Also: the motor draws a considerable peak of amps when it accelerates from standstill. This would otherwise trigger the electronic clutch, so they use a delay. But if your screw has only a little more to go, chances are the drill gives it 100% torque because of the delay. When you take these limitations into account, you can work better with electronic clutches. I prefer the mechanical ones, though. Not that the mechanical clutches are perfect, but I find them better. Other tools entirely are preferred for precise and/or delicate work; a calibrated torque wrench or a skilled hand do wonders.
