  The $149 one newer model and has a metal chuck?

  Does the $159 one have the separate hand grip?

  The more expensive one appears to be a newer model with an "e-clutch" for the torque setting instead of the old click dial.

  • E-Torque clutch control regulates power to avoid overdriving and damaging materials

    Has anyone had experience with the new electronic clutches?

    The last thing I had with an electronic clutch was a pricey Bosch cordless driver. I didn't really like it as I lost the 'feel' for when the clutch would disengage. It would just cut out silently and suddenly.

    I thought I'd get used to it, then the driver started playing up, i.e. it would suddenly spin in reverse when it's set to go forward.

  One is a drill, the other is a drill / driver. The driver function is for screwing in bolts etc where you want a constant (and maximum) torque where the clutch will slip when it hits the maximum (to avoid shearing off the bolt head).

  If you don't know what you need a driver for, you probably don't need it. If you need a driver, get a real driver only tool.

    They both have a clutch. One is mechanical and the other is electronic. You might be thinking of an impact driver, which doesn't have an adjustable clutch?

  I don't need a driver. I need the hammer function.
