Impact Driver

[DuaneMHunt1976]

Been trying to read about impact driver (Mainly sticking with dewalt)
seeing the new ones going up to 170nM what seems a lot of Torque
also been reading a lot of people putting too much torque on and breaking screws and what nots (thats a kind of screw but different or not)

The DCF895 [NB both the drivers i talk about are brushless] and the DCF886, the DCF895 has 5nM more torque and a 3 way switch to change the control. This is found near the base near the battery.

i wonder if there was any way to make a adapter that can sit between the battery and the driver.

Any suggests or know if it can be done this way, its 18-20v Battery
and if dropping a bit of the power to take down the torque a bit so it isnt so nasty.

The trigger is not just on/off you know. Just don't use it at full pelt.

I was just going to say the same, i use my impact driver day in day out, I use it on very delicate stuff and heavy stuff, you sound trigger happy!

Just a idea for a design as dewalt and mikita both put controls on their new drills
