This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque
mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker
operation. When the work load is high, the tool will run
in the "high torque mode" for powerful operation.
