Handheld drill/driver device

A handheld drill/driver device, comprising:

• a mechanical torque coupling to limit a maximum torque that can be transmitted to an insertion tool, the mechanical torque coupling being configured to modify the limiting torque that can be transmitted to the insertion tool as a function of an operator input via a first operating arrangement;
• at least one monitoring unit to electrically output a torque characteristic quantity that is a function at least of a torque transmitted to the insertion tool;
• a drive unit;
• and
• a control unit to shut off the drive unit as a function of the torque characteristic quantity of the monitoring unit, and of an operator characteristic quantity,
• wherein the operator characteristic quantity is a maximum torque outputted by the drive unit and is defined by an operator input via a second operating arrangement, the maximum torque outputted by the drive unit being greater than the limiting torque set at the mechanical torque coupling,
• wherein the monitoring unit is configured to determine the torque characteristic quantity from at least one characteristic quantity of an energy supply of the drive unit,
• wherein the torque characteristic quantity is substantially proportional to a momentary torque of the drive unit,
• wherein the control unit compares the torque characteristic quantity to the operator characteristic quantity and shuts off the drive unit if the torque characteristic quantity exceeds the operator characteristic quantity.
