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.

Apparently I found the answer in reviews of the product.

What was the answer?

I occasionally have the same problem as someone else, and if they post the
solution sometimes it helps me solve my problem.

I read all the reviews of all 6 drills - http://www.dewalt.com/tool-categorie...er-drills.aspx

I didn't see any mention of torque, torque adjustment, etc. Must have found the answer on some other website's reviews.

Seems this group of drills have a problem, to some extent, with stock chucks, i.e., wobble and/or breaking off, as per the reviews on the above site. Seems Dewalt will replace a wobbling/broken chuck with a different one, i..e., not the same as the stock chuck.

The drill I referred to is not a hammer drill. The reviews I referred to
are from Amazon.

Apparently the more powerful version of the drill mentioned has a lot
more torque at the (same) highest clutch setting.

My own personal interest in the question subsided because the upgrade
became a no-brainer when I learned that while using the electronic
clutch the drill ramps up to speed (soft start).

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.

That would be my thought as well. Or, if you're drilling and
the clutch is slipping, that probably means you're using too
big of a bit, and need to move to a corded drill.

I dunno about _his_ but mine has a "drill" setting in which the clutch
is locked out.

My thought exactly. Just what is he trying to accomplish?

He described what he wanted perfectly clear. He wants to be able to
apply more torque before the clutch slips. gee-whiz! ; )

He's using it to power a bicycle, and he's made some interesting
reports about it.

Typically you don't drill in a clutch setting. That is pretty much
pointless.

Yup. Some people are here for the 80% off-topic political garbage and
know nothing about using tools.

I've taken to drilling in the highest clutch setting for most holes. If
the drill bit catches, the drill won't try to twist my hand off. When I
need a the extra to get through the hole, it's a simple click over to drill
mode.

FWIW, most the holes I drill are less than 1/4".

Wow! A 1/4" drill bit is going to twist your hand off? What are you
drilling?

Yeah, I was just trying to think of what else you might do with
a cordless drill that would need more torque. It didn't occur
to me he'd be using it as a motor for some other device.

FWIW, I leave my cordless drills in the locked position always.
If I need to put a screw in with care, I do it by hand.

+1 (or use an impact driver)

I saw a plumber on TV using a hand drill to saw a 4" hole
through the floor for a pipe access. That 4" hole cutter will
twist your elbow a bit if you have only the pistol grip working.

A decent drill will put a screw in with care. The clutch settings on most
cordless drills are a PIA to use to begin with.
