to impact at a rate of 3100 IPM, providing the user with
greater control and reducing the chance of overtightening or
damaging material.
When set in reverse, the tool will impact at a normal speed and
rate of 3100 IPM. Upon sensing that the fastener has broken
free, the tool will cease to impact and will reduce speed to help
prevent "run-off" of loose hardware.
