You know I love my drills… here are the ins and outs of your drill clutch- learn what not to do, and how to make the most of this amazing power tool! PS – For those wondering about the DeWalt’s performance and if the gear makes a big difference, I wondered too! I created an entire follow-up video and… sorry, but DeWalt didn’t do well in any gear.

Glad to see you hit your million sub goal before the end of the year
What do you mean I’m not supposed to drive in screws with my impact driver on max power and just skill stop it when it’s where i want it ????
awesome video
750k in 12 years 5.2M in 8 months, thats humanity🎉❤😊
He made the million. Great work bud!
For everyone wondering about the test I showed where the DeWalt did a terrible job on limiting the torque, even at the lightest setting, I just shot a new video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB6HFxejSsQ) where I thoroughly tested five drills with big batteries, little batteries and in their high gears and low gears. The results were pretty crazy. The DeWalt DCD999 didn’t do well. It’s a fantastic drill overall, just not so great on limiting torque. And just to clarify, the Flex drill shown in this video was in all of the exact same settings. Big battery, 1st gear, and the clutch worked way better. Every drill is different.
Driver setting?
Dude. Thanks for this particular video.
I just now stumbled upon your channel because of this topic. I love having this knowledge now. I subbed to help your cause even though I see you’re over 1 million. Well done. I’ll be watching more now that I know about you.
my take: no clutch, just trust your finger…but get extra heads and screws… probably boards as well
The clutch on my admittedly budget Erbauer makes my job as a bike mechanic way easier. 6 brake disc bolts take an age to remove and reinstall by hand, cracking them free with a hex or torx key then banging them out with the drill massively cuts the working time on those bolts, the clutch ensures the bolts don’t get messed up or worse the hub threads get shredded (a pack of 6 bolts is £10-20, a new hub is at least 5x that), hand tighten when in place. Saving a few minutes on tasks like that opens up more time to get things properly set up, better to spend 5 minutes on bolts to spare 25 for caliper alignment than vice versa.
Also handy for bolting together flat pack furniture.
Ok, so like a manual transmission then, start low and work up.
Yo, im an audio engineer so anyone that is interested about making videos, here is a quick basic way to fix your video’s audio without spendin enormus amounts of time or focusing on that. It is literally a 5min fix kind of thing. 1st set your microphone’s preamp in middle ranges. Setting it too high will distort the audio as we see in this video. A good rule of thumb is, scream at it, and then speak as low as possible. If you are able to listen to both without readjusting your speakers, you are at a good starting point. After that it’s just a matter of compressing the video audio. Basically you get the audio, and put it through a plug in that is called a compressor. They are all over the internet and there are free ones as well that you can use both inside of daws, or stand alone. They do have a few settings you can adjust but you can look for a short video that explains them. Your goal is to get an audio that doesn’t distort because it is too loud, and the lower dynamics are loudened so that the whole audio is significantly smoother. That’s it pretty much. A limmiter is the same as a compressor but it has a limmit for the output sound so that it makes sure that it never distorts, you can use that in conjunction to the compressor as a limmiter is usually used only towards the end of the volume spectrum, whilst a compressor is used on the rest of the volume spectrum.
TL:DR = use audio compression. And maybe a limmiter.
Curious folks…
For a routine diy homeowner is the harbor freight multi tool more than sufficient?
Thank you..
Que vergüenza de traducción con IA. Es mejor que lo dejes en inglés
Cool, helpful info. Thanks,friend
You need to work on your ability to drive perpendicular to the work surface, though.
Don’t trust clutch settings on your drill.
That’s amazing, I’ve never dealt with these tools but now I posses the knowledge to properly and wisely wield it 😀
prefiero el mecánico, mucho más confiable
I notice your example of delicate work was done with a Makita. Love that
muito bom Brasil "Am- Manaus
How do you misunderstand that feature?
So it’s torque setting. This could have been a 4 second video. I wanted to know because I never understood what it was but I guess it was important for me to watch a 14 minute video to get this simple answer: it’s a torque setting.
Finally you got the 1M. Congrats🎉
when do you use speed 1 or 2??
Turning it up to 11 is a long-time meme, but destroying the competition on the first setting means it is not a main woodworking tool.
incredible video, i maintain commercial equipment for work and the amount of people that just use the strongest setting for even 1/4" machinery screws blows my mind. Doing the lords work
My dewalt drill in 1 its super soft, almost too soft 🤔🤔
give away hilti tools 🧰🦾🤖
MUCHAS FELICIDADES, PRIMERA VEZ QUE TE VEO Y ME ENSEÑAS COSAS QUE NO SABÍA, AUN TENIENDO EXPERIENCIA EN TALADROS. SALUDOS DEL SUR DE CHILE.
BUEN VIDEO!
Milwaukee dealer.
I don’t bother with the settings. I just keep it in drill mode. Trigger discipline is all you need.
I almost died when you used Drill Mode 😂
MÁS MAL ??
INCORRECTO. NO SIGNIFICA NADA.
PEOR ENTENDIDA…..ES LO CORRECTO.

Congratulations on 1 million! You deserve it for how much time you spent
I wish I had seen this last night. I didn’t know about the drill setting and had my drill bits getting caught in the stainless steel constantly.
Hi .
I have a Dewalt drill .
The chuck as locked .
Cant open or close 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Any idea what I should do ?
Kind regards
At a guess, I would say the clutches are generally overtuned because most people don’t understand how they work, and complain about their drill not driving hard enough when they are enabled. If the manufacturer just sets all the setting to super strong, then folks don’t have any trouble driving screws. If the drill is tuned properly, and gentle in the low numbers, then the drill "shuts off for no reason".
It’s interesting that the dewalt clutch is so high torque even at the lowest setting. I had a dewalt cordless drill I bought decades ago and it was the same way. Might as well not offer a clutch at all. Maybe it works better if you are driving giant lag bolts.
Very comprehensive, to be sure, you did a good job. Thanks for the info on the electronic clutches, new one to me! My Mikita cordless clutch started slipping, I’ve used it a lot. Are the clutches replaceable? Is it worth my time & expense? I love my cordless…
Muito bem explicado!
I can stop My DeWalt drill on 1 with my hand so easily. I think your completely wrong
10:10 this kind of problem drives me nuts.. greedy manufacturers..
you should really spend more time actually explaining and showing the mechanics of the drill in a way where the camera isnt out of focus and your hand is covering everything. really needs like an animation or something. its annoying to get a bad explanation and then jump right to your merch ad lol
Congrats on 1M.
Regarding your merch… please expand the range to include tops and t-shirt cuts for women 🙏
Thank you. I just learned what these numbers mean on a power drill, what their function is, and how to use them correctly.
if numbers don’t represent any unit then it should be in percentages!! COME ON!
Fun fact number 4 was my favourite… ☝️☺️
I love when people think youre breaking your drill or stripping screw heads
