I am considering buying a cordless impact driver, similar to the attached, that can accommodate both 1/2″ sockets as well as standard hex shank screwdriver bits. As I have never used one of these tools, I’m wondering how one avoids overtightening when driving screws, since none of them appear to have torque settings.
Can someone explain this to me.
Just use the variable speed trigger when driving screws etc. When tightening nuts etc, you can grab a torque wrench to make sure you have the correct pressure.
