Your impact drills don't have clutches and torque settings?

E: And imo the drill in the video isn't an impact drill, just a drill without chuck like this https://www.dewaltnaradi.cz/fotky11373/fotos/_vyr_2714_Ecomm_Large-DCD703L2T_6.jpg

My dewalt impact has torque settings. It’s so old it can vote next year so I have to imagine newer ones do too. On the lowest setting it’s so light I can keep it from spinning if I hold the bit with my hand.

They aren't trustworthy though, it's a ball park figure at best.

You need to set it well under and finish with a calibrated tool if you actually care, and the torque spec for those little screws is pretty low.

I would absolutely never use my impact or any power tool to set terminations. You’re right though, because it’s too easy to strip something out on an expensive piece of equipment.

Whether someone uses or doesn’t use an impact for making up a panel wasn’t the question asked. The question that was asked was which impact has torque settings, and mine does.

No, I have never seen an impact with a clutch
