Claim 10:
11. A power control assembly for a power tool, the power control assembly comprising:
an actuation assembly; and
a tool actuator configured to provide a speed control input to a motor adapted to provide drive power to an end effector of the power tool when the tool actuator is actuated, the end effector being configured to enable a fastener to be applied to a workpiece by the power tool via a fastening cycle, the fastening cycle being a duration of time from a starting of rotation of the fastener to completing application of the fastener to the workpiece with target torque,
wherein the actuation assembly is configured to adaptively change speed of the motor in response to the power tool reaching a predefined torque value that is less than the target torque during the fastening cycle;
wherein the actuation assembly is configured to enable an operator to alter a length of the fastening cycle by adjusting a set point of the predefined torque value.
