No problem with hurting the impact, but I do get
concerned with how steady I am with the hammer in awkward
positions.
I have an electric impact that winds up for about 4 seconds,
WHAM, winds for 4 seconds, WHAM, etc. Won't use it on screws,
just bolts and nuts. However there is a new power unit on the market that
would be useful on screw heads. I'll see if I can locate the info on it
and pass it along.

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.
