Several posts from 2000. Most of it is still relevant. I bought the Makita 24 volt. You can use "Torque sticks" that might give you a max torque setting. I haven't tried one yet. Matt Murray mattm@op

Remember that torque sticks only work with impact wrenches. They cannot limit torque on a conventional wrench or drill-motor. Well, unless they break, but that torque is far beyond what we are discu
