In the second Drill/Driver 101 video, This Old House contributor Mark Clement shows you how to set the transmission switch on LOW to gain more control when getting a screw started and finishing it off at the correct depth.

Learn how to:
• Set the correct drill speed for your project
• Get better control with a lower speed setting
• Use high speed for smaller-diameter holes
