Default Torque required to break screws - typical values anywhere?

Yup. I often use my mains drill for screwdriving and it's got much more
torque than most cordless ones and no clutch.
A screw breaking is a rare event - they usually 'cam out' first with
Pozidriv


When I used to do that I snapped a fair few. They were mostly 32mm screwfix black plasterboard screws with Philips no2 heads.
