Do you have a link showing this? I've seen lots about the DeWalt gyro screwdriver online and never once before have I seen anybody mention issues with the clutch. Just because DeWalt has a problem with one clutch, that in the DW920, doesn't mean they have problems with the clutch in the gyro screwdriver or any of their other tools for that matter.
