What happens here

The presenter configures the drill/driver to maximum torque and speed 1. He attempts to drive the 5/16" x 6" screw into the pressure-treated 4x4 wood. Despite using two hands and applying significant pressure, the drill struggles, showing signs of kickback and straining the user's wrist. The clutch engages, and the screw is not fully driven.

Goal: Demonstrate the drill/driver's difficulty in driving a large screw with maximum torque.

Tools and materials

  • Milwaukee Drill/Driver Milwaukee — Attempting to drive the screw

drive this? Let's get after it. Brand new 5/16 by 6-in Both of these drills are the cheapest that Milwaukee makes. They're non-fuel. We have the drill given maximum torque, speed one, and took the clutch right out of it. I'm going to use two hands. Look at that. pressure on my wrist. Uh, two speed.
