Step 2: Set the drill clutch to drive the screws into the drywall
Use a power drill for repetitive drilling, like attaching drywall screws. Use a drill with an adjustable clutch to set how far the drill will drive each screw. Experiment on scrap drywall and studs to determine the right clutch setting. If the drill drives the screw too far into the drywall so that it breaks the paper, rotate the clutch to a lower number and try again. You want to set the clutch so that the screw goes into the drywall and the stud behind it, stopping just below the surface.
Adjust the clutch until it drives the screw just beneath the surface of the drywall.
