What about a clutch for consistent driving and to prevent the screws from being buried in the wood.

There is no clutch but it will take screws out better and drive them better than a screw gun. You will have to watch the depth as it has better grip than a drill/driver with a clutch. I have thought it might be nice to have a clutch but they don't and I still like the tool!

This drill should have adequate torque/power to install the fasteners for a piece of furniture. It has an adjustable clutch feature so that you can avoid over-tightening the fasteners; setting it at the middle value of 5 should give you enough torque before it begins to slip. If you need more torque, just twist the collar to a higher setting. The drill comes with a 2-ended screwdriver bit (stored at the base of the handle) that has #2 Philips and regular slot blade points. If your fasteners need a hex wrench, then you will need to buy the appropriate size hex driver bit.

search amazon for "hex shank drill bits". One selection is a 30-piece set, http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Grade-30-Piece-Quick-Change-Shank-COBALT/dp/B000H0Y7Q6/ref=sr_1_6?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1387061017&sr=1-6&keywords=drill+bits+hex+shank+set To avoid the issue raised by the previous responders, set the clutch to something other than "drill" so that the clutch will slip if the bit should bind up

My severe duty clutch posi that is supposed to chatter, does not. Works great.

It can be done just by gripping it firmly and turning but it's difficult. What I do is insert a tip, insert the tip into the screw you plan to loosen/tighten and while pushing down rotate the body of the driver in the direction needed, e.g., clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen.

Yes sir, this drill is reversible. As far as driving screws, the drill will do fine, but it doesn't have a clutch that can be set. Just be careful.

A large screwdriver (Philips ) and a good lift power. The thing is heavy. It is a good unit and will last. Happy heat outside.

the screwdriver shaft is hollow at both ends allowing for a bit holder, hexagon in shape to retain #1 and #2 Phillips and the opposite end of the shaft is the straight tip counterpart. The shaft also serves as a 1/4" 5/16" and 3/8" nut drivers. I carry this tool everywhere and my coworkers ask for it routinely. I really like the soft ergonomic handle. It provides plenty of torque. You will find yourself buying more than one over time, not because they art cheap, but because you will want one in the house, the garage, and your tool bag at work!The tool does not come equipped for eyeglass repair. the screwdriver shaft is hollow at both ends allowing for a bit holder, hexagon in shape to retain #1 and #2 Phillips and the opposite end of the shaft is the straight tip counterpart.

You can use a flat head screw driver if you don't have the right allen wrench. Just don't over torque them.

The clutch is adjusted on the barrel in increments from 1-10, with drill giving you the most torque. The speed and power is regulated only by the pressure exerted on the trigger.

That should be a self-locking nut, so you don't have to worry about it falling off later due to improper tightening torque.

I haven't had any issues with the clutch when set properly. I have snapped heads off screws when it has been to high (my fault).

you will need wood but if its on sale and you just want to save a buck it works. It's more of a comes in handy when you don't have a helper kind of jack, in random situations not so efficient for automobile work imho...but with some wood it'll do the job.

I just got off of the phone with GoPowerSports, where this clutch is distributed. They told me it could be mounted inboard or outboard, it is bidirectional.

No it does not have a set screw. Your drive shaft should have a keyway and a threaded hole at the end. I used a backing plate and spacers to keep mine in place. It worked well until my niece burned the clutch itself out by spinning the tires non~stop for 3 minutes... not adviseable for 13hp applications! Hope that helps.

I have only used this drill on heavier duty jobs where a clutch releases the drill at a particular torque was necessary. I dare say no, it does not have a clutch (or a settable torque release as some call it) like my 20 volt cordless drill. A few things I do know are, it has a Contractor-grade cast aluminum gear housing and Double gear reduction and is variable speed. This is a strong, "take it to the house" drill and one of the best drills I have used, corded or cordless. It is definitely a favorite among my power tool collection.

If the engine has a 3/4 inch shaft then yes, just lube the clutch regularly or the clutch will wear out
