I bought this tool solely for the purpose of removing the screws that hold the rear rotors in place on my 2005 Honda Odyssey. Even though these were the original rotors (with 145,00 miles on them) a little heat, a little WD-40, and this impact set removed the screws easily. They came away from the rotor in such good shape I was able to reuse them. I had tried 'manual' methods of removing these screws on other Honda vehicles I have owned with terrible results (ultimately drilling each screw out.) This tool made the job e-a-s-y.

This is one of those tools that it is hard to improve on. This particular set is well made along with good material content in it. If you have ever used this or a similar product, you know that it is a must have in the mechanics collection. Bottom line is, I would recommend this tool to a good friend.

I needed to break loose some long corroded bolts & screws on a motorcycle.
This baby done the trick. It's easy to use.
To set it just push down on the floor & at the same time turn the chuck the opposite way
you want the screw to turn. It will tighten or loosen depending on how it is set. When using it,
grip the handle & twist it the way you want it to turn while hitting it with a series of rapid hammer
blows while twisting. I recommend a good size dead blow hammer cause if you use a
steel hammer it will bugger up the surface you pound. Have used it a number of times & it
worked without a hitch.

I had one of these for years; you never know when you are going to need it, and when you do, nothing else does the job. Well, mine got stolen from my truck when someone lifted my whole toolbox.
This looks like a good replacement. I have used it once now, and it seems as good as the last one, so time will tell. You can set it to proper direction and pound away, slowly backing out (or driving in) the contrary fastener. Nice that it also has the square drive on it for your air tool sockets. I purchased two; one for home, one for my work toolbox. You know how it is; when you need it, it is ALWAYS in the OTHER toolbox...

Simply awesome.
One of the bits broke during use on a particularly seized screw on a brake rotor (Honda/Acura). I was kind of bummed because the job got delayed because of this. But I contacted Tekton and their customer service is beyond anything I could have imagined. I got an ultra fast response and they shipped some spare bits right to my house! And fast shipping!!
Tools break. If you want stuff that will never ever break, go spend a ton of $ on professional grade snap-on, matco, etc. However, I can't justify spending that kind of coin as a hobbyist mechanic and DIY guy. So, with this kind of customer service, Tekton made me a customer for life. Thanks guys.

This is a handy tool for working on vehicles. I am taking apart a 1972 Honda CB500 motorcycle. It has sat for 4 years. Several bolts were seriously stuck. Rust? No match for this tool. Red Locktite? Will break it free. Steel bolt fused to aluminum engine block? A couple whacks and this thing will have them freed.
The supplied bits are useful and the 3/8" end will accept any socket. Warning: wear eye protection if using chrome vanadium sockets, they weren't designed for the shock. They will probably hold up, but new sockets are cheap. Eyes, not so much.
The end will mushroom if you use a normal hammer. No biggie. I would rather pee. Use a dead blow or mallet for best results.
Overall a great tool for guys who are tired of stripping bolts.

Tekton does it again. You absolutely cannot beat their products for the price. I've gone from shopping for Craftsman (which certainly aren't made like they once were) to just getting on Amazon and searching for Tekton now. I purchased it for a specific job since my Snap-on grew legs, and it worked beautifully.

not the greatest of quality, & no instructions were included ( from what i recall ), but from a video on youtube, i figured it out ( you have to set the driver direction, then slightly twist the tool in the loosening or tightening direction, while engaged with the fastener head, then strike ) . anyway, this tool is excellent in its function. i've even removed 20 year old rusty, heat fused screws from a muffler with it. that says it all.

My problem was a bunch of aluminum screws that had "rusted" into some steel patio furniture. None of the other approaches I tried would work without destroying the screws which I wanted to avoid because they were an unusual design which I did not think I could easily replicate. This device worked magnificently, loosening all the screws without damage. An added advantage is that you can use it with socket wrenches as well. I found it helps if you apply a twisting motion with your hand (and yes, wearing a glove on the hand holding the driver is a good idea) as you are hitting the driver. I also found it unclear how to determine whether the device is set for clockwise or counter-clockwise use. Easiest solution I found was to set it in the screw and turn it the way you want it to turn (usually counter clockwise). If it is set to turn in the other direction it will slip into the desired mode.

I used this to remove the rotor screws on my Honda's front rotors. It was very difficult at first to get the driver to change directions (tightening vs loosening) but after a few times of pushing the end in very firmly and turning it, it loosened up some. It did what it needed to as far a removing difficult screws and it also works well as a normal screw driver. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
