I believe that’s what he means. The clutch on drills can stop applying torque at various increments so u don’t over tighten screws! Behind the chuck as u rotate the collar the various numbers are the tq limits (roughly, don’t take the units literally as quality and age of drill will impact exact figures)
And not all drills are the same. For example, I have the Hercules 20 volt drills from Harbour Freight. Those things have all the power in the world. And at their lowest possible setting on the clutch they will strip out a cabinet screw in the blink of an eye. So I had to get the 12 volt Hercules for doing delicate work.
As someone who doesn’t know shit: when you say clutch, you mean set the power screwdriver to stop turning when it hits moderate resistance, right?
I ask because I think I understand, but I might not.

You got it.

Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation!
