- progre 5y agoThe cam-out feature maybe made sense back in the dark ages when the people used actual screwdrivers. Now, in the age of cheap lithium battery power tools, this feature is less handy. Even with the torqe-limiter enabled on the Ryobi I have ruined many bits and even more screws due to cam-out.
