Summary

4.4 stars, 2,700 Amazon reviews. Users praise the 20-position clutch as the best in class for fine torque control. The compact head fits into tight spaces. Less common on job sites, but finish carpenters and cabinet installers appreciate the precision. Some note that 360 in-lbs is underpowered for heavy construction.
