For such a ubiquitous tool, I’m constantly shocked by the number of users that have no idea how to properly use the clutch and speed settings on their drill/driver. Most people just set the speed to “2” (sometimes labeled “high”), and max out the clutch, never to touch the settings again.

 

This latest Tool Hound video will shed some light on the settings that many people ignore, hopefully helping you to get more out of your tool.
