Well done! A clear, detailed explanation made in an efficient amount of time. Thanks for the education. I knew that the higher the number, the more resistance it would take for the clutch to slip in order to avoid stripping your screws, but I didn't realize it was also directly related to the length into the material you want to go (It is a logical leap, I guess, but a leap I never made on my own).
Don't use an impact gun , you'll be sure to get failures ...😂 Use a regular drill/driver you can set the clutch setting of how much force you put on the screw to drive it in. .. Eliminating this risk of over driving ...😂😂
I read somewhere that this feature is on all new drills it's a quick stop and someone said it's a good way to open the chuck one handed.but I will look into that. Btw it's. A new 709 with metal chuck, got it with a 887 with 2 2ah batteries
Very helpful. I would just use my finger to adjust the speed, and release the trigger when I thought the screw was at the depth I wanted. These adjustable settings make things go much faster I think. Going to try this tomorrow on a little project. Thank you!
I'm so confused. The DeWalt instructions with my new drill (compact Atomic model) say to select speed 2 (high speed setting) to slide the speed selector back (away from the chuck). Therefore you see the number 1 when in high speed - speed 2. And vice versa - for speed 1 (high torque) slide speed selector forward - towards chuck - which means you see the number 2 when in speed 1. I find it counter intuitive to see the number you are not in so I went searching for more information. This video shows the numbers as they make sense to me, but seems to be opposite to the DeWalt instructions.
I’ll be damned. This whole time I was thinking something was defective with my drill or drill bits. Thanks a bunch for this quick and easy to follow explanation, I’m off to go and drill holes into random 💩.
A few years ago I emailed Dewalt customer service with that question and they sent me a link to the settings. Now I just have to remember the password for the computer I saved the bookmark on.
Simple and to the point, thank you!
You're welcome!
would be nice to know how to put the drill for beginners :)
Awesome, thanks mate. Just got that drill & the instructions are as useful as a dead mouse. You answered everything I needed answered.

Owned my drill for twelve years and now I know what those numbers for screw depths are all about
Cheers

Do your drill make loud stop noise when you full rpm and release trigger? Is it normal?
Don't think so, sometimes older drills might do this. As long as it doesnt run hot and still works Id say not to worry

I have the same loud stop noise when I use for example the hammer mode. But it isn't a problem?
I have a DCD976D2

How do the different settings affect the longevity of the tool?
Great video, thank you! Short and packed with everything I needed. Ordered one for myself and wanted to learn a bit before it gets here.
Glad it was helpful!

So do you drive screws in drill mode? I’m guessing no.
you can do, and i often dont bother changing the settings. You just need to be careful that you dont destroy the screw head!
Wd40 works too
Awesome!!!
So when you're using the numbers settings, does the speed setting (1 or 2) make a difference to the depth of the screwing?
Great question im going to find that out for you
@@TheBlokeCave Cheers 🙂
Great video this helped a ton thanks
Great, GREAT video.For some reason speed settings always confused me. Not anymore, thanks.
Jesus... just learned about drill mode... was wondering why it wouldn't drill into a stud...

I now know my drill intimately! Thank you
Time to shop for those 'intimate' attachments then ;)

Could you PLS slow down? TY
My drill is very old and the white markings are somewhat rubbed off. Sorry to be so pesty.
Cheers mate
There was me thinking hammer mode was for hitting nails in when you can't find ya hammer
😂
Thank you. Perfect
Is there anyway of leaving the light on
Thank you, very clear and precise information. ⭐
Much appreciated
Brilliant thank you!!
You're very welcome!
That screwdriver mode is the best thing I’ve learned in 40 years after years of rounding off Phillips head screws 🫣 thank you.
How do you locate the torque specifications value on the device ?
