In this case drilling and hammer drilling always provide full torque and are not affected by the setting of the torque ring. Simpler drill/drivers have a single setting ring with numbers (screwdriving mode), drilling, hammer drilling (if the drill has this feature). Less convenient if you have to frequently switch between drilling and driving. | |
