Default Festool drill - well worth the money.

My son recently purchased one of these and I have been using quite a lot
recently. It is very, very good. The offset chuck is almost worth the
extra money alone!

The one thing that I didn't like was that the torque setting was set a
little high for my liking. It would overdrive a short wood screw in mdf
on it's lowest torque setting. Festools "work around" to this was to
switch to the higher speed where the lowest torque setting was less - I
suppose that makes sense but a bit of a cop out.

My grotty old Makita does not have that problem. Seems to have a much
lower torque setting at the lower end.
