Set torque and the clutch slips when it’s reached, causing the tool to stop turning the fastener. To set torque, turn the adjustment collar or screw and then verify the torque setting with a torque tester.

Note: Air tools require lubrication to operate properly.

The motor shuts off when the set torque is reached to provide the most torque control of any air-powered screwdriver. To set torque, turn the adjustment collar or screw and then verify the torque setting with a torque tester.

The motor shuts off when the set torque is reached to prevent overtightening and damaging fasteners. These tools provide the most torque control of any electric screwdriver. They are designed for light- to medium-volume assembly.

The clutch slips when the set torque is reached to prevent overtightening and damaging fasteners. To set torque, turn the adjustment collar.

Rechargeable batteries keep these tools powered wherever you need them.

Multiposition-grip driver has a handle that pivots for a straight or pistol grip.

Adjust the nosepiece to set the depth and prevent fasteners from being driven too deep. These drivers are good for use with soft materials such as wood, fiberboard, drywall, and insulation board. Rechargeable batteries keep them powered wherever you need them.

Screwdrivers with positive clutch drive are the best choice for fastening applications where torque control is not critical. These tools require the operator to pull the trigger and apply pressure to the screw before the bit will turn. The clutch slips as soon as pressure is lifted or the maximum torque of the tool is reached.

Screwdrivers with direct drive start turning the bit as soon as the operator pulls the trigger. These tools provide a high level of control over fastening but do not have any built-in mechanism for preventing overtightening or limiting torque. Since pressure is not required for the screwdriver to turn the bit, they're good for fastening through compressible materials.

An angled handle makes it easier to drive fasteners in tight spaces. These direct-drive tools start turning the bit as soon as the operator pulls the trigger. They provide a high level of control over fastening but do not have any built-in mechanism for preventing overtightening or limiting torque. Since pressure is not required for the screwdriver to turn the bit, they're good for fastening through compressible materials.

A lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery powers these cordless drills, which means they weigh less and have a longer run-time than cordless drills that use nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries. All have a variable speed—the further you depress the trigger, the faster the drill rotates.

Drills with keyless chuck allow for fast bit changes and have an adjustable clutch that lets you adjust the torque.

Drills with keyed chuck can be tightened with the included key.

Styles C, D, and E have a right-angle head that fits into hard-to-reach spaces where traditional drills can’t.
