I've only used it the once, for the reason I bought it. It was for Acura
brake disks and it worked okay - not great, but okay. I did strip out the
first head I used it on because I didn't realize the screw head was #3
instead of #2 (d'oh!), but it got the other 3 out successfully. I felt like
it was hard to hold properly - straight and firm - but I've had no
experience with other impact screw drivers.

Tom, as I recall, the problem in the early day was "which is it-
righty/tighty or lefty/tighty...? :P Not the fault of the
tools.There’s also the question of the quality of the hardware used on
Bridgestone motorcycles :roll: . It’s been a long time- Nick Jones
