Systems and methods for providing an adaptive nut removal mode in a power tool. The power tool includes a housing and a motor. The motor includes a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a plurality of stator windings. A power switching circuit is configured to provide a supply of power from a power source to the motor. An electronic controller is configured to control the power tool to remove a fastener from a joint. The electronic controller is configured to monitor a torque of the motor, determine whether the torque of the motor is equal to or less than a threshold torque value, operate, when the torque is greater than the threshold torque value, the motor in an loosening mode while the torque of the motor decreases, and increase, when the torque is equal to or less than the threshold torque value, a speed of the motor.
A power tool comprising:
A method implemented on a power tool for removing a fastener, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of computer executable instructions for controlling operation of a power tool to:
