Lisle impact driver

[Guest_User]

Is this the type of impact driver you guys use on stubborn carb screws?

so far I have not found a lighter duty one...

I`ve used this type on motorcylce and small engine case screws.

That's the exact one I use in my shop. I've owned it for about 25 years. It's very good quality.

Light duty is not want you want. You need the mass to drive the screw.

If the heads are Phillips, make sure the bit fits perfectly. If you use one that is too small or too big the bit will turn and act more like a drill than screwdriver. Once you strip the head then it becomes a real challenge. You normally will have to grind the heads off and deal with the stud once you remove what the screw was holding on...

As Tony mentioned, mass is important as well as it will drive the bit into the screw/bolt prior to the twist. You want a ball peen hammer, not a claw hammer.

The tool works FANTASTIC, but it needs to be used properly.

Some member posted this trick a while back and it has not failed me yet: put some valve grinding compound on the tip of the screwdriver.

u liked that hugh, lol .... we was taught that with chrysler on mikunis back in the 80's -- works nice doesnt it

I use that trick on damaged screws. If they are ok... don't use it. I don't like taking the chance of the abrasive getting into the carbs.

Thanks Doc.
