The different sizes of screws pictured on the Torque Ring are an indication of how much torque the Cordless Driver will apply to the bit before the clutch slips, allowing the bit to stop and helping to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The larger the screw, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Always start with a lower torque to help prevent damage. This Cordless Driver also has torque settings between the screw markings to allow a greater range of selection.
