I picked these up on the cheap to supplement my aging craftsmen set. The hex head on these drivers kicks ***. Makes busting loose tight screws a piece of cake.

not a bad idea, i think i would end up stripping the heads with that amount of force

actually it works the opposite- allows force directly down, keeping the tip in the screw head, and keeping the driver straight up and down, while allowing the other hand to twist. Used one last night to remove the screws on the rx diff housing.

I have ones with the hex head below the handle instead of on top. I like the top position like your's better. If you used a ratchet you could keep all the pressure down. It is an awsome addition to the tool box.

you use an impact on screws?

Sure...sometimes you need to...Like when you have to get that rusted countersunk screw out of the center of a brake rotor. I've used the impact screw drivers and they work pretty good.

you almost have to use them to take the brass screws off honda rotors.

yep- IMO it's just another step in the evolution of screw removal

Yes, impact screw drivers are FTW always! Helped me get a stubborn screw out of the RX-7 LSD I rebuilt recently.
