I've seen scores of posts about power drills twisting off bits, screws, etc
Cordless drills have a torque feature which limits the torque it will exert. It's easy to make preliminary adjustments by holding the chuck in forward gear while engaging the trigger. It should disengage the clutch in reverse at the same amount of torque. It maybe best to start low, then if you need more torque, just increase it bit by bit.
The torque feature also works well in freeing stuck screws, as it "hammers" on it same as a torque wrench will do, which increases the chances of breaking it loose, instead of twisting it off
