Umm... it has whatever DeWalt put in it :icon17: I'm pretty sure it has a clutch because that's what slips when you exceed the torque you have set. Is slip clutch used in an impact driver?
:iagree: many of the tools look worn and dirty, but they are far better quality than the comparable tools you buy nowadays. I like my tools dirty, it means they're well used and battle-tested :tup:

ahhh, i have a 9.6v or something by ryobi from the days. got that for father's day like 7-8yrs ago. battery died in no time. :ugh:
yah, slip clutch on the driver when torque is exceeded. my corded drill does not have it. my cordless driver obviously has it. :D
my impact driver has a hammering action to add more torque to tighten or loosen, but does not have a torque slip dial. so you have to kind of learn how many sec the hammering is needed to reach a certain amount of torque, then use a torque wrench from there. :) my 18v impact (3/8 drive) has about 160lbs/ft so it had no problems loosening the nuts during the swaybar i installed a few weeks back. :D it's a handy compact tool to have to do these smaller jobs. |
