What happens here

To demonstrate proper screw driving, the presenter sets the drill to speed '2' (high speed) and the torque to '1'. He attempts to drive a screw into a piece of wood, but the screw does not go in flush due to insufficient torque, and the clutch engages. He then increases the torque setting to '3' and successfully drives the screw flush with the surface without stripping it, indicating that '3' is the appropriate torque for this specific application and material.

Goal: Practice driving screws with appropriate torque settings to avoid damage.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee M18 FUEL — Driving screws
  • Driver Bit — Attaching to the drill to drive screws
  • Drywall Screw — Demonstrating screw driving
  • Wood Block — Test material for driving screws

for instance, I'm going to go two, and we'll try it at one. We'll see how that goes. So, this is two and one. Close, but it didn't get them flush. So, I'm going to go ahead, I'm going to move this up to we'll go three. Three seems to be our perfect for what we want. Now, let's say I just want to
