CORDLESS VS. CORDED DRILLS--What Are The Numbers For?! (Clutch Control / Slip Clutch / Torque Drill)
People always ask: What are the little numbers on my drill for?! In this video, The Honest Carpenter explains what the numbers on your drill collar are for, and the all-important difference between CORDLESS DRILLS VS. CORDED DRILLS!
Those numbers on the moveable collar of your drill are TORQUE settings. Essentially, they let you control how much force the drill applies to a spinning drill bit. (The collar is called the CLUTCH CONTROL or the SLIP CLUTCH or the TORQUE CONTROL.)
Torque is basically a measure of how hard your drill can fight to keep the drill bit turning or spinning. This is different from SPEED--which is just a measure of how fast the drill bit can spin.
But even drills that are spinning very fast will slow down when they encounter resistance. They need high torque to keep the drill bit spinning at a fast speed!
Sometimes, though, too much torque from your drill can be a problem because it can cause your drill to CAM OUT a screw, or OVERDRIVE a screw.
The numbered collar on your cordless drill lets you control how much torque your drill is putting out. You can adjust this collar up and down based on what kind of work your doing. Drywall screws and hobby screws are two examples of screws which require specific torque settings.
If you set your drill's torque correctly, then the drill will "clutch out" before it can fight so hard it damages the screw or overdrives it.
Clutch controls are native to CORDLESS DRILLS!
CORDED DRILLS almost never have clutch controls. Corded drills apply a constant amount of torque to the drill bit at variable speeds. This means that they are bad for driving fasteners (where they often cause cam out), but they're great for drilling holes!
CORDLESS DRILLS often have a "drilling" setting at the top of their range (it looks like a little drill bit). This setting will keep your torque dialed up high in order to assist you with high-speed/high torque drilling.
This setting is different from the little hammer--which indicates a hammer drilling function in some combination cordless drills.

This is the 5th tile project we've done where we've removed the old tile before installing new tile, and the first one with this tool kzbin.infoUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS . I want to cry for all the unnecessary work we've done in the past. With this tool, we removed tile surrounding a fireplace, as well as the hearth tile, set in loads of cement, in less than an hour. I highly recommend this tool. It was easy to use, and very satisfying watching the tile literally fall off the wall.

Thank you so much!!! I just bought my first new cordless drill, impact driver and oscillating multitool. Beforehand, I was lucky enough to find your videos and you helped me learn how to research brands, decide what tools I really needed & you showed me tips and more! I took notes! 🤔😄 Although I'm a tool junky from way back ( seduced by the heady scent of new tools at Harbor Freight) I only used them in creating art in metals, gems and wood. A few years ago I retired from refugee work & a month later, I became a widow and the sole caretaker of our family home/land in a remote part of the N. Cascade mountains. Well, even a paradise has broken dryers, porch steps & well pumps so I've been in OTJ training 24/7 ever since!! When not building or repairing something, I'm studying how to do those things. You've been a great help to me and to lots of others, and I thought you should know what a difference you've made in a very practical way. Thanks again!!

Great video on cordless drills. May I add that some time ago using a Dewalt 18V cordless drill I compared the torque settings (numbers on the drill) to that of a hand operated Torque wrench and found that the numbers actually matched the torque in Nm (Newton Metres) which is incredibly useful when using the drill to tighten small bolts to a specified torque.

[@o362436o]

Another great benefit of using the clutch setting on a cordless drill is to prevent kickback if a bit binds. For example, when drilling with a hole saw, sometimes the angle or position you're drilling at will cause the hole saw to bind, which can set you off balance, sometimes pretty violently. It can be especially dangerous if up on a ladder. So adjusting the clutch to a slightly lower setting can give you a safety buffer against kickback from binding, as the clutch will absorb the sudden shock rather than your body.

[@huskypro1]

Thanks, that’s actually a really good idea

[@ivo-aceto]

Thank you. I often wondered what those numbers meant and I finally know. Your explanation has been extremely clear.

[@birdlady2725]

[@hc2cox]

I was wondering about the numbers the other day. Thanks for the terminologies! But what are the increments? Or how do you find out?

[@miked6335]

I was wondering if there was an "official" explanation myself. But based on a lot of DIY outdoor wood projects (that haven't killed me yet), I think what you do is start on a low number. When the torque is too low to drive the screw, the clutch will disengage. So you back out the screw a bit, up the number a couple of notches (or one if you're close) and then drive it again. Repeat until you drive the screw just right. Now you've got your setting for the job. If you start with a low number and work your way up, no overdriving or cam out theoretically. But not all wood boards, even in the same batch, have the same density so you can't just rely on the clutch to avoid overdriving.

[@massimookissed1023]

I'm pretty sure there's no standard of torque number vs strength, other than low numbers are low torque. They're like the numbers on a toaster, which have no relation to minutes of toasting, but just indicate minimum to maximum setting.

Might be worth mentioning that the torque setting can also be used in reverse and can be useful when backing out an old screw that may have gotten stuck due to rust. Start on a fairly low setting then dial it up until the screw starts to move - this can prevent camming out and wrecking the screw head.
