    Cordless Drill Minimum Torques

    That is what I was curious about. Need to be able to install 175 fasteners to a torque of 5-10 in-lbs right hand rotation. And then be able to remove them with any amount of torque. Regular hand driver won't work as we need to do this over 5000 times!

    chain saw problem

    My 15 year old Craftsman finally kicked the bucket last year. The drive sprocket had a groove cut into it so much that the chain wouldn't grip and spin. A new sprocket was hard to find and I gave up and bought me a Stihl.
