4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but clutch needs work, March 24, 2010

This review is from: Milwaukee 6580-20 6.5 Amp Screwdriver (Tools & Home Improvement)

In overall construction, this is typical Milwaukee high quality. But the torque setting clutch is not perfect. Occasionally it stops in the disengaged position after driving a screw, and the motor will spin but the bit won't move until you whack the next screw enough to knock the clutch into engagement. Not an overwhelming problem, but this torque setting mechanism is not as trouble free or effective as that on the Milwaukee cordless driver/drills (which I also own).

In addition, I would like a bit more trigger travel to make it easier to get the speed you want, but that seems to be true of variable speed drivers and drills regardless of make.
