I really liked the Makita, but I am not spending $180 on an RC electric screwdriver. Like I mentioned in the original, I really liked the clutch on the TEK4, if I set it to 1, it never once stripped a bolt and the speed was great too, not too fast that it would overheat plastic on long bolts.
If there is any specific feedback on how sensitive the clutch is at it's lowest setting on any of those you prefer, that would be helpful. Much appreciated.
Some of the drivers from Makita and Milwaukee would work, but they aren't as slim and that sometimes makes them tough to use in tighter spots on RC's.
I didn't know Ryobi had a driver with a clutch. Cool. I'll have to check that out.
The last kit I built with my DeWalt gryo was the Vanquish VS4-10 Ultra. For most of the screws going into plastics I could have that up at 10. Harley Designs, who works at Vanquish, was building his with his clutch set to 11 in his video.
What I like to do is set the clutch light and drive it into plastics. Then finish tightening it with a manual hex driver. If the screw was loose than turn the clutch up a click or two and repeat the process until you find that you have to tighten the screw very little or not at all with a hex driver.
