The real hack is to have two drills. Seems excessive but once you do it you'll never go back.

  It's so nice to have a clutch setting on the driver, and the drill at full power. I hate having to rotate the collar back and forward and inevitably overdrive screws with the wrong setting. Edit: or even clicking that switch back and forward.

    I think there are “smart” drills that switch modes when you change from a drill bit to a driver bit (and vice versa). Still inconvenient for frequent usage though.

      My smart drill loves to just gently screw in the screws until there’s some resistance and it suddenly ramps up and it hammers that screw through in a second haha. Every time I try it, I disable it again. I must be using it wrong, or that thing is way too powerful for me. It even managed to break the screw a few times.

  The Milwaukee M18 drill/driver pair is perfect for this, and typically what I use. Keep the jobber bit in the drill and the put the screws in with the hex driver.

  You can also attach them to each others bits and make them fight at the end of the job. Waste of money? Yes. A massive amount of fun for the boys? Absolutely.
