Drill clutch explained

What happens here

When the task involves drilling holes rather than driving screws, the drill needs to operate at maximum power. To achieve this, switch the drill from the numbered clutch settings to the dedicated 'drill' setting (often indicated by a drill bit icon). This setting bypasses the clutch mechanism entirely, allowing the drill to deliver continuous, maximum torque for effective hole drilling.

Goal: Achieve maximum power for drilling

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Demonstrating drill mode
  • Drill Bit — Drilling holes

What they say

Hide

your paper. Hey, flush. Or, just get yourself a drywall bit, so you don't have to worry about it. Before you start drilling, put your drill in the drill setting, and that'll totally take the clutch out of it, giving you maximum power. This switch up here controls your speed. Speed one, slower speed, more torque, which is great for metal.
