Default Cordless drill clutch settings?

I need more torque before the clutch slips. Will the upgrade from a DeWalt
DCD790 to a DCD990 provide more torque on the highest clutch setting?

I will ask around.

Thanks.


What are you doing that needs more torque before the clutch slips?

The purpose of the clutch is to let you set fasteners precisely--if
you're dealing with something that needs more torque than the highest
setting on a hammer drill then it's not that delicate to begin with.

You might want to look into an impact driver instead.
