How do torque limiting extension bars work? Is there a clutch built into them? I'm old school/lazy and use a small drill motor with a light clutch to set my lugnuts, then do a patterned final tightening with my click-hand-torque wrench.
I've been using that drill for about a dozen years. I bought it to build a 16' long handicap ramp for my dog and have used it dozens and dozens of times since.I'm on the hunt for a smaller driver. Does anyone have any experiences with the Milwaukee M12 12V line?
Am looking at the Milwaukee M12 BD-202C. Not looking to get into an eco system, this one will be standalone.
Only need a 1/4" bit holder without impact function, as this one won't be used for any drilling or any wood screw above 45mm.
But I need a torque selector, and I am willing to pay the extra cost (in money and weight) for a metal housing, if that exists in this class.

You can set it to be a screwdriver or set it for various clutch settings. It easily drove 8" (200mm) wood screws into the handicap ramp.
The drill I spoke of would physically be way over sized for the task you cite. The clutch could possibly be set "soft" enough to not over tighten but agaiin just the size alone would make me not want to use it for that.Sorry, I completely forgot to reply here. Meant to do it, then it slipped my mind.
Honestly, if the Milwaukee M12 BD-202C can do all of those things, it sounds way to powerful for my needs.
I would need it to slowly and securely handle laptop screws. 3mm and the like. Including screwing them back in, without over-torquing or stripping heads.
I recently got my Dewalt DCF601 back, with a note and official stamp from the service center:
"Not a warranty repair. No fault found. Repaired on manufacturer's goodwill."
But I did get a new unit back. Which did feel way different than the one I sent in. And I had 2 carpenters feel the drill and give me their opinions before I sent it in, and both - and me - said there was something wrong with it. I call BS on the "no fault found", but I'll take the replaced unit, though the whole return note felt rather derogatory.
The drill I speak of is the same one as you have, right? The M12 BD-202C? I know there are several models (all of which looks almost identical to me), and I am not familiar with Milwaukee's product naming in the different regions.The drill I spoke of would physically be way over sized for the task you cite.
My apologies, I didn't mean to cause you hassle with the pictures and everything, but thank you very much. ❤️I have the 2410-22 from about 2009 or so.
You can twist the front end to have clutch settings like a drag on a fishing reel or lock it to become a screw driver.
