Cordless screwdriver

[Farrell]

I think the real difference between these two tools is the torque range they
produce. The Power Grip is 0.3 to 3.5 in-lbs. Joe's Panasonic is 3.5 to 26
in-lbs. Obviously, a job that one of these tools works for, the other will
not. Now the question is how much torque makes for a happy flange?

It would seem to me that 3.5 in-lbs would be way less than that needed for a
flange screw. Yes? No?
