Hi Slashburn,
I must admit I've had an impact drive for well over 35 years now and in the days when I bought it I never experienced any joy with it and did nothing more than tear open the slot. I find that a correct sized screwdriver is far more controlled for me, but who am I to say it doesn't work for anyone else ??
and for Freebird, once again a press is far more controlled than a blow with a hammer, hammers don't get used much on my bench apart from plastic assembly hammers such as a Thor 412 Plastic unit.
Cheers,
BB
