I didn't even bother with a drywall clutch attachment. I started out
trying to use the 5-position clutch on the drill, but each stud or
ceiling joist seemed to have different densities, so that didn't work
very well. I ended up setting the Phillips bit almost all the way into
the Jacobs keyless chuck and set the clutch to the drill position.
This resulted in the screws going just far enough into the drywall to
be 'below' the surface without breaking the paper.

You get a drywall cup bit. It has the phillips in a cup so it bottoms
on the drywall when the screw is set and spins free.

Why bother when my solution worked flawlessly and produced the same
result? ;-) All kidding aside, thanks for the suggestion.

Because it gives you an excuse to visit the tool aisle .............
