Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Screwdriver



Jim,
Well, I wasn't going to admit to 40 years, but it's close. Best I can tell, you can't hurt one of those things. At least I haven't been able to.

Jon,
 
I have to second that.  I've been pounding on the same impact driver for 40 years and it doesn't seem to show much wear.  It will stay put pretty well on Phillips heads, however on a straight slotted screw with some wear, it sometimes (not often) requires a little help. 
 
Take a piece of metal tubing with an i.d. just big enough to slip over the impact driver bit and cut the tubing to 1/2" length.  Drill a hole in a 1/2" thick piece of wood just large enough to tightly fit or glue the tubing in the hole in the wood.  Slip the bit through the tubing and into the screw slot, then clamp the wood in place.  There are any number of variations depending on the situation.
 
Jim
