No air? this impact driver should be in every toolbox

[BroncoJoe19]

Oh yeah... I've had one of those for many years, and it is one of those tools that falls into the sawz-all category, in that you rarely need it, but when you do, nothing else will do!

When I was a kid, my dad had one. When ever I worked on my car it was out in the street, and his tool box was at least 100 feet away, no air tools, and more often than not, no electricity at the car.

I'll sometimes hold it with a pair of vice grips, or channel lock pliers when swinging a heavy hammer at it. I've been known to hit my fingers, but not anymore!

Yeah my dad used to race enduros in the 70s. This was the ONLY tool to get the phillips screws out of a Honda motorcycle engine.

I have one of these, the only problem Ive ever had was getting pissed at a screw somebody put in place of a bolt, jammed it in till it crossthreaded, i took the tool and it actually jumped, so I took a BFH to it ans wailed on it until the screw broke off. I was really pissed about that one.
