Thanks for the replies. It seems like the Ryobi "clutch" slips right off the bat and doesn't spin in the screw. I us both impacts so I am using the same amount of pressure with both , same bits in both. My Milwaukee just seems keep spinning where the Ryobi will slow down and drive.

I've been helping a friend work on his house. We are using 3" phillips screws with #2 bits. I would use Torx screws but he has phillips. My Milwaukee keeps spinning in the head of the screw and ruining bits no matter what setting I have it on, 1, 2 or 3. I use his Ryobi and it drives the screws...
