We don't? We have dedicated F1 help button, onboarding tutorials and ultimately google? Yes, this is very insufficient, but that's true for the power drills as well, have you read those manuals? Tried to find one online?
(tangentially, using trick questions to gauge common understanding of UI isn't a great approach, this isn't SAT, it's easy to have the correct enough model "the number on the drill is more power" to work in practice, but mistakenly think this is represented as speed. Also, why do you need to know whether the torque is for the motor or the head? But there is enough space to put the word "torque" in the interface to make it more intuitive (and add a QR code to some awesome intuitive video guide))
