This one gets good reviews here and on other RC forums. 21 clutch settings. Used to be Hitachi, the HPT in the type stands for "Hitachi Power Tools". https://www.amazon.com/Metabo-HPT-DB...ozilla-20&th=1 |

I use the Dewalt 8V posted earlier. There is no clutch, but I don't trust a clutch on plastic. The inline allows me to hand tighten the final amount almost like a normal driver (still a bit bulky). I got it as a refurb for around $40. |

I also wouldn't typically trust a clutch when going into plastic but that's why I like the $14 HyperTech 4.0vt. Even on the 2nd or 3rd setting it will start ratcheting when it meets resistance. On the 1st setting there's no way even on soft plastics that it's going to keep spinning. To do anything around the house... even just drilling into drywall, I have to ramp the clutch way up to keep it going.

I picked up the 8v pistol grip about eight months ago and use it all the time. I find the control to be pretty responsive and sensitive and I like the ability to change the configuration. It’s not cheap but I’m happy with it and hope to never have to replace it. I almost bought the Milwaukee that was mentioned earlier in the thread but ended up going with this because of the versatility. My only complaint is that I wish it had a chuck and I’m sure there’s add-ons if I ever get around to it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-8...B&gclsrc=aw.ds |

I picked up several 2mm, 2.5mm, and 1/16" bits, both short and long. I also picked up a couple of manual handles so I can swap bits between the manual handle and the power driver. Works fantastic, and consolidated many of my tools. | |

Let’s just say I went to the shed and upgraded lmao After using this, I don’t want to use anything else. It’s speed really helps on the portal boxes for example. Obviously you have to hand tighten it down, but it’s still a lot faster. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I’d be setting the clutch to the lightest setting just in case. |

I happened to browse through this thread and decided to buy the Hyper Tough screw driver from Walmart, as recommended by some people in this thread. While I can't say what the exact torque it delivers at the lowest clutch setting, I do think it's a reasonable amount of torque suitable for M3 self tapping screws or machine thread screws commonly used in 1/10 RC builds. It seems to be a great value for the price. Has 2 years warranty so I hope it's durable. I am keeping my receipt just in case : )

I use this one and I'm quite happy with it. This is the one with the clutch and can be switched between a pistol grip or straight. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

I have this set and I really like them. Batteries last a long time. Has a battery meter on the side. Very powerful. Feels good in the hand. Amazon Link |

Really glad to hear it's working for you. I've been surprised how much I'm using it for other tasks around the house but I've grown very comfortable with it at this point... knowing where to set the clutch for various jobs and being able to rely upon it to not over-tighten or strip various materials. | |
