Hammer thru screwdrivers?
I bought myself a set yesterday! Never used them before in over 50 years of spannering/mechanicing. Am I becoming a brute or is there more rust about?
Maybe I'm just getting weaker!

Yes,
Excellent screwdrivers, I too have had a set for years, very handy to reform worn cross heads, and can be used as an impact driver if used carefully. .

My spannering is now limited to anything that can be done without having to get underneath a car (SWMBO tells me !) so I no longer have my Rover. My Sportage (which is very agricultural underneath) seems to have lots of cross-head fixings, so they will definitely come in handy. Cheers folks. Have a good'un!

Yes Hammer through are a great addition to any toolkit. I bought my first set about 3 years ago and have never regretted the purchase.

I also have a really useful tool. An impact spring loaded driver.
It forces the bit into the screw and at the same time rotates. Give a really good non slip turning motion. Good tool to have in your tool kit. Ordinary screw drivers can slip and damage the screw head. This tool does no damage as it never slips.--- |

The shaft of the screwdriver goes right through the end of the handle so you can hit it with a hammer without shattering the handle material, useful for reforming damaged heads on tight screws.
