| Why no clutches on corded drills? |

| message from TELLERKE on 2000/01/28 |
Do any of you guys know why they don't put clutches on corded drills? It is
hard to find a cordless one without a clutch!

They do- they're called "screw guns".
Cordless drills generally have clutches because that's the way they're
used- more as screw guns than as drills.

I found what I was looking for in the metal working section of the
Tool Crib of the North Catalog. DeWalt model DW268 "HD VSR
Versa-Clutch ScrewDriver" 169.99. It has an all metal front end
including the torque adjustable clutch, housing, and gears. It also
has a Teks quick connector (no chuck) that uses the Rapid Load type
accessories. I also picked up a bottom of the line DeWalt drywall
screwdriver because I wanted a light duty corded screwdriver that had
a depth adjustable clutch.

And, why no brake? It's hard to switch back and forth between a corded and
a cordless drill, because I have to "learn" to stop the motor, again.
Maddening!

Best guess? Most cordless drills are multi purpose devices. Drill-driver.
On a driver, you need a clutch, on a drill you don't.

I've been looking for a corded drill with a clutch (not a drywall
screw driver), if anyone knows links to any, please post.
Thx

There are lower speed/higher torque screw guns, sometimes called deck
guns.
