Replaced my old hand impact that has served me for over 20 years and this new one should last just as long - well built and the hand protecting guard is a great feature- can't tell you how many times I whacked my hand with the old one! I have used this a couple dozen times breaking loose engine screws from an old Yamaha and am happy with purchase

I purchased the driver and it has worked great. The only problem I have had with it is that one of the bits broke and OTC only has a one year warranty on it. Very rarely have I seen a company that does not have a lifetime warranty on hand tools, exspecially what I thought was a reputable company like OTC.

Had the tool for about a week and the handle came loose and slide then I hit it. Then the pin that hold the 2 pieces together pops out of the collar so have to push it back in every now and again

Tried to use this tool to get the Philips screws out of my Civic's rotors. It wasn't able to do it at all, both bits I tried twisted around and were warped within a few hits. Had to drill the screws out, which was a pain. I returned the impact driver.The handle is nice and easy to hold, but if it can't loosen the screws, what's the point?

I bought this specifically to remove rotor and drum screws, when doing brake jobs at work. The new interesting design and comfort handle was appealing so I gave it a shot. Mistake. There is a flaw in the design, or mine was just junk to begin with. I ended up having to chisel out most of the screws after destroying them with this thing.I since bought the Lisle version again (lisle 29200). While the quality isnt super amazing, the design is tried and true, and works. Plus my SnapOn dealer will warranty the Lisle bits when they break.

The tool seems to work really well. I have only used it on a handful of screws and bolts, but it works great so far. It is a little difficult to tell which direction your are impacting the bolt in as the marking isn't very clear, but it's easy enough to figure it out by feel.The only thing I'd like to see on this is a hex feature on the handle so I can use a wrench to put torque on it before hitting it, but I don''see any impact drivers with that.My only regret is that I didn't buy this a long time ago.

The OTC 4608 Impact Driver removed the four rotor retaining screws on my 2007 Honda Fit (1.5L Auto Base) in short order. Setting the impact driver to loosen the screws was as simple as collapsing the driver and twisting to the left (i.e., left to loosen). I found that if I first put torque on the driver, twisting it to the left, and then striking it with moderate consistent blows worked best. You don't have to beat the impact driver to death for it to work. Just keep torquing it to the left with each strike of a 2LB sledge hammer. The screws literally fought me to the last threads along with applying ample WD 40. I would not have been able to remove the screws otherwise without having to drill them out. The Phillips #3 bit, that came with the impact driver, fit the head of the rotor retaining screws perfectly and never slipped. I inspected the Phillips #3 bit after use and it had no noticeable defects. The handle made the impact driver easy to hold during use. Also I found the Tee at the end of the handle gave me a mechanical advantage when running the screws back in to the rotors. This impact driver tool is an excellent value and I highly recommend it.

I needed an impact driver to remove the infamous Honda brake rotor screws. The reviews were good on this driver so I decided to pick it up. These screws haven't been off the car in 10 years - and that's in the rust belt. I expected the heads would strip out and I'd be drilling out the screws but what the heck, the driver might work. I put in the right bit, set it inside the rotor screw and a few good whacks with a hammer loosened the screw. That was the case for the other three as well. The heads didn't strip out at all, the screws just came out beautifully. Very pleased with my purchase.For those new to impact drivers - to use one, twist the bottom portion in the direction you want the screw to turn, put the bit on the screw and just give the end a few good whacks with a hammer. Always a good idea to make sure its going to turn in the direction you want - to check, put the driver on a hard surface and press down - you'll see the chuck turn. If its going the way you want, you're good to go. Hope this info helps!

Bought this to remove screws that retain rotors on '04 Acura TL. They are notoriously difficult to remove. I like the fact there is hand protection for striking with hammer or small sledge. Luckily it comes with 2 of each bit (one long, one short). Went through 2 bits to get the job done. First bit distorted and rounded the head of 3rd of 4th screw removed.Overall satisfied since it allowed me to complete the work but wished the bits were stronger.

Its for the big hard to get out bolts ,,screws!!In case you have never used one of these screw removers--you put the appropiate Phillips or flat screw driver in the bottomthen---hit the top with a hammer-hard!!The resulting force then turns the lodged screw counter clockwise -out!!The trick --not removing or mangling your hand holding the impact driver in the process!! Oh Yes !!This tool makes that so much safer as you hold that shaft below the T top, eleminating broken fingers ,,hands!!Works good I thought that the bottom sides needed more beef but so far --no!!If I was a pro mechanic this would be one of my first purchases !! Works good with an impact wrench or impact driver to follow up!! Excellant tool!! Thanks Amazon!Big tool for big work !!Well made also!!
