I.D. Touch software: Get the perfect feel
I.D. Touch software brings a unique level of optimization to Stryker electric motors such as πDrive and πDrive+. This software enables you to adjust torque from 0-100% to customize how your electric drill responds when pressure is applied during use — from low to high sensitivity. Acceleration and braking can also be regulated from 0-100%, collectively redefining drill performance to suit your personal style.
