what is the best torck setting for driving screws?

I just leave the drill in the "drill" setting (max torque) on the clutch ring for virtually all my work, taking care to shut off the trigger prior to over sinking a screw if applicable. Rarely have any problems. I guess the best answer would be that it would depend on the material you are screwing into, the type of screw, and the size of the screw. And that answer would only come through trial and error.

it all depends on what kind of wood you are drilling or screwing into. requires the highest setting while pine is number 10

i like somewhere around 10 depends on what your screwing into, wood, drywall maybe a 2-5, 10 and up for most metals. you really just need to experiment.

you will need 2 sizes. Torx 4 & 5. most of them are torx 4 but there is 1-2 screws that is for a torx 5

I have used "Round End" bits for drilling. Usually, "Hex End" for driving screws.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later.For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later.Brad

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

Never used it to drive screws. We use an 1/4" inpact driver for phillips head screws. Most likely the force would be too much for the screws and would snap them off as well as needing an adaptor to get to a 1/4 inch drive.

For just driving screws into wood and the occasional pilot hole I use a light weight, several years old 12 volt battery powered Ryobi. Several brands still make similar.

I don't know(no scale). but I tried to M3 TAPPING SCREW(Min. torq). SO GOOD.I satisfied.

First off I have a whole lot of bit and nut drivers; two to six of each of about everything out there. I went a bit nuts experimenting with them for a while. I am a pro mechanic and use a lot of metric allen and sockets and torx. Ha, ha I never have to change bits now : ) My point is I have bought several sets and this one is the latest and I think it is a great set :Titan - TIT16112 13 Piece Metric Hex Bit SetIf that link doesn't work search with this : Titan TIT16112 13 Piece Metric Hex Bit SetThe bits are easier to get out and the base is magnetized to keep the holder upright in the tool box and the bits in the holder.

Take a chance , I have not used on any thing with that kind of Torgue requirements . I was sick and tried having my quick change drill bits breaking in seconds .

there are other screws that you can use. I've seen torx head screws, but the important thing is that they have a flat bottom. Woodcraft and Rockler may have what your looking for.

Cartridge dials to accommodate coils 1-1/4-1-1/2 or 1-3/4-2 or 2-1/4-2-1/2. Provided it was the proper angle and nail size, a 2-3/8 coil should shoot fine at largest setting. On board depth setting to adjust nail depth when fired. It was recommeded to me as best on market siding gun and I'd agree. Has survived multiple drops and usually jambs only when the coil of nails is messed up.

I believe my husband used a small Phillip screw driver. Nothing more. The item is well worth getting though.

Set screw. This is a great tool. Far superior to the Bosch which I threw out when I got this one.

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

The torque settings go from 1 to 21, but if you need "extra" power, you can put it in drill mode and it will remove almost any screw/bolt. I've owned both the D3DBL and the D3DBL2, the BL2 has slightly less torque than the original version but still a solid performer.

they are settings for the clutch mechanism. If you set it on one, the clutch breaks loose (disengages) with little torque - that is little pressure. Use the lower settings for delicate items - plastic, thin aluminum, decorative brass, etc. set at 10, you get the highest clutch/highest torque setting. Use this for hard woods, metals, etc. Hope this helps.
