Impact screwdriver
Reference was made to an impact screwdriver sold by www.brandsonsale.com. Does anyone have experience with this item? My favorite was made by H. K. Porter, 30 years ago. Porter now belongs to Cooper Tools, and I haven't found listing of the drivers, just cable and bolt cutters. Anyone found these drivers lately? I used to run a motorcycle repair shop. Impact drivers are essential in that business. We found the driver then sold by Sears to reliably ream out every phillips head it was used on. The Porter never damaged heads unless improperly applied. My son has become involved with classic dirt bikes and needs an impact driver, can't have mine. Please help me find him a good, reliable, reasonably-priced (Snap-on is outrageous!) impact driver. Thanks. Tom Willmon near Mountainair, (mid) New Mexico, USA Net-Tamer V 1.12.0 - Registered |

It came from the land of Whun-Hung-Lo, and will probably not last forever. Maybe I should use a wooden mallet to hit it, since the butt end is starting to show signs of cracking. It's the #1 way to get Honda disk rotors off, and I'm sure I'll find other uses for it. 'Curly' |

Re: Impact screwdriver
I was at Home Depot the other day, and say an ad for a free Bosch impact
driver if you buy a Bosch set. I also saw a DeWalt, B&D, Makita, etc. If your looking for a 1/2" cordless Impact driver, Kragen's had one for $29 last Christmas, but now they are $39. It looks very similar to the Snap-On 1/2" impact driver, at a 1/4 of the cost. <twillmon@cybermesa.net> wrote in message news:d3bjnk$rl$1@reader2.nmix.net... > > > Reference was made to an impact screwdriver sold by www.brandsonsale.com. > Does anyone have experience with this item? > > My favorite was made by H.

Re: Impact screwdriver
Good luck with that. Though I admire your desire
to reduce the US trade deficit... lol hey wait a minute, i live in canada, forget that! :) I posted that URL the other day, not that I recommend the URL, I was just looking for an example of the tool itself. Whenever you say 'impact' anything, people usually assume you need compressed air to run it.... :) I got mine at Canadian Tire here in Canada as well, showing the same signs of cracking, but I could care less. I have seen these as low as $10 at the local surplus shop. The tool is perfect for any stripped or stubborn fastener (works better on screws though it can be used on bolts) You need to have the room to swing a hammer though, not always a luxury when workin on a honda... t |

I've had one of these for about 35 years. No problems. I guess it's not a good idea, but I've always used a steel hammer on it. Don't know the price but I wouldn't think it's as much as Snap-On.
