For example, tighten an L-foot to a scrap piece of rail at each torque increment, measuring after with a torque wrench, til you have the values of each increment. Then program the drill buttons to your most often spec’ed torques, and you’re done. Just press one of the four buttons on the drill to get the required torque. The values are set in the drill even with battery removed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiX8HPqXitQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiX8HPqXitQ</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Here’s one of the videos of how the app works.
