I use the clutch and lean toward letting it fall short of completely seating. This i becuse I am in the habit of using a manual square head driver to snug things up. Just an old habit, mind you, not someting I would recommend for those fussy about your time.

Exactly, I have learned not to rely on a clutch setting, in fact when using the Kreg jigs that I own, a drill driver with a clutch setting does not even enter the picture. I have had a couple of stripped screw holes, or maybe broken screws, but was using glue at the time so I simply clamped the assembly for while, sending the problem down the road..

I can get good results using both sight/feel/sound and using the clutch. Once you get more experienced, I think using sight/feel/sound works better for me anyway. Otherwise I'm always left wondering if I got it tight enough... that being said, there's nothing worse than a spun-out screw... so it's a toss-up!

Sight,feel and sound are important. Also experience. As easy as the KREG jig is to use, it gets easier with practice.<br />
When I am working in soft wood, pine, cedar etc i finish driving the screws by hand.<br />
cheers<br />
