Can I always set the tool to max ?

Hello,

No, you can't always set a tool to its maximum setting, as it depends on several factors, including:

Tool and Material Compatibility:

The tool's maximum setting might not be suitable for all materials. For example, using a drill at max speed on soft wood could cause splintering, while a high heat setting on a soldering iron might damage delicate components.
Safety Concerns:

Operating a tool at its maximum capacity can lead to overheating, excessive wear, or even accidents if the tool is not designed for prolonged use at its highest setting.
Application-Specific Requirements:

Different tasks might require different settings. For instance, sanding delicate wood might need a lower speed to avoid damaging the surface, while removing old paint might require higher power.
Energy Efficiency:

Running a tool at maximum power continuously can consume more energy than necessary for the task, potentially increasing operational costs or depleting battery life faster in cordless tools.
Wear and Tear:

Consistently using a tool at its maximum setting can reduce its lifespan due to increased stress on its components.
Tips for Optimal Use:
Check the User Manual: Most tools include recommendations for optimal settings based on the task and material.
Test Settings: Start at a lower setting and gradually increase as needed for better control and results.
Monitor Heat and Performance: If the tool gets too hot or shows signs of strain, reduce the setting to avoid damage. 
Use the Right Tool for the Job: Sometimes, using a more powerful tool designed for the task is better than pushing a smaller one to its limits.
I hope this answer will help you.

This is not possible. But you can reorder the tools in the panel.
