Does this have a "Variable Speed" with Forward and Reverse? Or a tork adjuster?

No torque adjuster. It has a rocker switch with the left side being reverse and the right side being forward. No speed adjuster. To go slow you have to tap and release switch.

No variable speed, which was disappointing, but there is a convenientlyplace "low" & "high" speed switch on topof the unit. "low" works good for startingscrews & "high" works good for removingscrews & the adjustable clutch help control both functions. Battery life has been decent & I like it's and flexibility.Although initially disappointed with thelack of variable speed, I've adapted &really like it. Just a bit of a paradigm shift.

Nope. One speed and it has reverse also if needed if you get a clog. Just used mine last night actually for the last of the garden tomatoes. I froze them all to make my sauces in a few weeks

The wrench is a variable speed but I do NOT think it adjust the torque at lower speeds...I have used this tool to remove and place tires and wheels off a 1 ton dually, does a GREAT JOB!!!

One speed, but if it was variable I'm not sure how that would work. That would be like a variable speed chain saw. Why would I want it to go slower?

It is variable speed. I don't know how I would measure whether it goes to or beyond the specified speeds.

Forward torque is 200-950 lb ft. Reverse is 1250 lb ft. I would lightly use the first click (lowest) for tightening lugs. Then check with torque wrench.

Both units are variable speed... other than that, one has a laser (which I live without)

Yes it does have a reverse mode to remove screws. No it does not have a variable speed. Steady medium speed.

Thanks for your question. The model I have does not have the variable speed control, however changing speeds only takes a few moments so I've not missed having it. Hope this helps.

yes it is variable speed. there is a rotary control switch at the end of the handle above the power cord

It has reverse switch. It is single speed which depends on how hard you press the button like any other drill.... maybe this might be considered as 'variable'.

I don't really know for sure....contact might.o check ALTHOUGH I'd probably just wear safety glasses and use it...I've never had any issues using different bits at any speed although mine is variable speed.

Yes, it has forward and reverse. I really like this drill because of its light weight and lithium battery. The light is pretty much just window dressing as far as I'm concerned, but it doesn't get in the way. I use this impact drill on the lawn tractor blades, water heater anode nut, etc.. Get some torque sticks for tightening bolts, and keep it in the truck for no hassle wheel changes. This is one of my favorite tools. Hitachi makes a good product; this drill won a product award, too.

It is variable speed. I am not sure but I think the VSR stands for variable speed reversible. In any event, I found it to be a great tool.
