What happens here

The clutch setting is also highly beneficial when working with drywall. By setting the clutch appropriately, you can drive drywall screws flush with the surface without tearing through the paper facing of the drywall. An alternative for consistent results with drywall is to use a dedicated drywall bit, which automatically stops at the correct depth.

Goal: Drive screws into drywall without tearing the paper

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
