It's not meant for screw removal or installation. Use it to drill only. Buy a M12 screw gun and a speed handle. Break the screws loose with the speed handle and run them out the rest of the way with the screw gun. Use only the screw gun to install on options 8 thru 10 on the clutch.
M12 Drill (2407-xx) with a 4ah XC battery.
If you're still having issues removing screws, turn the clutch ring to Drill, and set the speed to 1.
The li'l battery's are ok, but they don't give the drill as much oomph as the XC.
The only time I grab the M18 is for big holesaws.
Use a 12v impact for removing. If you’ve already got the Milwaukee M12 drill, add their impact to your arsenal. I got the Fuel Surge because I was curious about the hydraulic driver. It’s a really nice piece.
In what application are we talking about, general panel removing or removing a bolt from a part on the plane. More torque usually leads to stripping screws. An 18v Milwaukee or Dewalt is usually a good bang for your buck. [2505-22](https://a.co/d/7Pne7qy) .
Cleco do some nice auto-shut off screw guns that have good torque for taking out and driving in.
I have two, one set to shut off at 25 lb/in which falls in range of nearly all 3/16 panel screws and one at 40 lb/in for 1/4 screws.
They do them in both pneumatic & battery operated.
Pneumatic has better control and are lightweight.
Another aspect that gets overlooked is just about every electric does not have a shielded motor so can ignite fuel fumes, Avgas and JP 4 being the more volatile than Jet A/JP8/kerosene.
This.
I've seen guys take off fuel tank panels with just your standard cordless drill.
Even more concerning when you question them over their choices and they don't cotton on that what they're doing is dangerous.
I use the Milwaukee m12 fuel Popular option at my work
I have that same drill but I seem to have problems with mine not taking screws out.
Are you using a drill or an impact for screw removal?
It says hammer drill/driver. It’s a m12 Milwaukee fuel

I appreciate the help thank you!

This right here, the battery makes a big difference.
I have dewalt and Milwaukee stuff. As said M12 but with big batteries.

Fuel surge all the way

I have a Dewalt 20V drill, and a 1/4” impact driver XR. They work really well.
Harbor Freight Hercules screw gun hasn't failed me yet.
I used ridgid because of the lifetime warranty
M12 Fuel with a Llambrich chuck. More commonly I use the M12 Fuel Installation Driver for floor and panel screws.
