Drill Max RPM speed in drill mode

[Cut Nail]

Have been trying to find the drill mode rpm speed for a T 18+3 and CT 12. My manuals and the web give the rpm speed for 1st / 2nd gear but not for drill mode. To my ears it definitely sounds like there's a difference in rpm between 1st / 2nd and drill mode?

Don't think there is a speed difference, but if drill mode disengages the torque control clutch then that might make it sound different?

My manuals and the web give the rpm speed for 1st / 2nd gear but not for drill mode.

Drill mode isn't another gear. "Drill mode" just disables the clutch. The rpm is not affected.

The rpm quoted will be for drill mode in 1st and 2nd gear.

If you switch to screw mode the max rpm depends on the clutch setting, the lower the clutch setting the slower the max rpm that is available. The clever electronics inside the drill reduces the max rpm as you reduce the clutch setting giving you more control for smaller screws or delicate materials.

Oh yeah, only on Festool. I forgot about that.
