Title: stevens walden impact driver
Post by: jimwrench on October 03, 2012, 09:31:45 AM

 This old tool I've had for years and seldom used has become one of my go to tools in restoring old tools. Recently used it to take apart my Plomb rachet and remove mounting crews from a frog on an old plane. A little penetrating oil and a few taps with a hammer and they are loose. I wonder how many jobs I fought without thinking about this little guy.

I have three different ones. Great for the phillips screws on rear brake drums.
Also very good for motorcycle work.

Yup!! they work great, just WD40, soak, & hit.
I like the control of the torque & the impact loosens the binding rust without stripping the slot.
have Craftman 3/8"dr. & 1/2"dr. with all types of impact bits.
