Maybe not all cordless drill drivers are created equal?

They certainly aren't, as I say my drill/driver is very tricky to
use.

And mine is a breeze. ;-)

It's OK for bashing screws in if your not overly bothered about
the heads getting chewed, it caming out and the bit damaging the work
or over driving the head into the work.

I can use mine in that mode if I run it on speed II, set the clutch to
OFF and just pull the trigger right in. Anything else means it's
pretty controllable to half a turn of a screw?

What make/model is your Fat Max?

It's a Stanley that I think is a re-badged DeWalt (or they are part of
the same group now etc [1]). It's also quite heavy to a level that
surprised most who are familiar with more basic power tools when they
first pick it up.

Even when on SII and the clutch off and holding the keyless chuck
firmly, gently squeezing the trigger allows you to determine just how
much skin you want to pull off your hand. ;-(

"DeWalt (trademarked as D?WALT) is an American worldwide brand of
power tools and hand tools for the construction, manufacturing and
woodworking industries. DeWalt is a trade name of Black & Decker
(U.S.) Inc., a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker."

Before this Stanley DD I previously had a DeWalt and would say it was
nearly as good (but not as powerful). The only real reason I stopped
using it was the batteries died.
