WHAT IT DOES
This tool has three settings. The regular drill setting, signified by the picture of a drill bit, for drilling through wood, metal and plastic, the hammer drill setting (picture of a hammer) for masonry of all kinds, and the driver setting (numbers 1-15ish). The driver setting is what you use to drive screws in, or indeed take them out. The number corresponds to the amount of torque (the highest number is the most torque) on each setting. By making this adjustable, you will be able to put screws into your project using the minimum force, and thus reducing the risk of threading the head of the screw.
