It depends – the 3000 features variable speed on a click-and-set switch – when using this tool your speed selection is going to be more of a feel or a sound as you get comfortable using the tool. The speed chart in the owner's manual acts as a guideline for the speed settings of 2/4/6/8/10 on the tool. If you know your application could require more exacting speeds or power then we would encourage you to consider moving up to the 4000 or 4300. You can also consider the cordless tools for extra freedom, these model numbers are 8220 or Lite (also known as 7760).
