So you’re saying in driving mode it slips really easily whether you have it set on 1 or 20? But then everything still locks up fine when you go into drilling mode?

Sounds like it’s fucked. I had one of mine get all jammed up, but yours sounds like a slower death. At least the drill still works. If it’s one of the major brands, you can probably buy a replacement for whatever little plastic plate or spring is going to shit, but it might not be worth it if the thing is getting old. Just wait until the trigger gets 100% fried and replace it with a new model.

Pic related is an old fucked DeWalt that took one too many crashes off the ladder. The clutch mechanism is that white plastic, this one has little ball bearings on springs IIRC, so I’m sure the plastic carrier or springs or bearings are part dust.
