I have a cordless drill with 20+ clutch settings and lots of torque available.
At work I have access to a calibration tool that can cal to 100 in-lbf.
I am curious whether I could calibrate and verify repeatability at the various clutch settings and then use it to drive and torque the transmission pan bolts on my dad's cars.
I envision starting the bolts with a low clutch setting, then progressively working back around the pattern and up in torque to get to the spec torque on all the bolts.
Has anyone tried this? Dumb idea?
