Most people don’t know, those screws are actually JIS (not Phillips), assuming it’s an Asian car. The bits that are included with almost all manual impacts are also JIS.

Thank you for explaining! I did not understand how it worked until this video.

Saw one of these the other day work great tool

Good tips. Thanks

Thanks for this how-to. I got mine and was using it incorrectly. 👍🏻

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted to see! Nice demonstration with the camera.

great video, thanks

1:50 - thx so much for that infornation! :D

Thanks for the tip on placing the tool upside down to set it. I gave it a few good hits and the screws came loose from the rotor. A very helpful video.

Even better, use a JIS compatible #3 bit, such as those that Vessel sells. From the manufacturer, those are not the same Philips heads that we commonly use here in the US. You will get a much better fit with JIS. Note that JIS is no longer maintained, thus why I state it as JIS compatible.

Yep this is what I did, I had an impact driver, but this actually puts axial force on the screw too as it removes it. So the impact driver only impacts in the rotational direction.

That's why these are great for screw removal. Aircraft maintainers have used them for many decades on panel screws.

@@obfuscated3090 I just got one and it's a clever design. The impact on the back pushes the bit into the screw really well just as it turns.

Has this held up over time?

Add some anti-seize to the screw threads and should not be hard to remove again.

Better still, leave them out. The lug nuts do the job just fine.

These are NOT Phillips, these are JIS screws, that is the very reason (using the Phillips bit instead of JIS) people strip them out.

Why i should have this? When i have impact cordless

this tool provides a downward force as well as a turning force. the cordless impact just provides turning force. even if you push the cordless as hard as you can into the stuck screw, the manual impact driver will be stronger downward. also, you're very likely to break bits with the cordless because it's got so much more torque.

precision / fine control. The same reason you likely still own basic screw drivers alongside power tools.

Go ahead use your cordless impact on a rusted/seized philips head and after you strip the head or break the the bit you'll understand why you need one.

for hard to remove one, i use manual allen key, impact cordless, and impact wired , cant open and the allen key head become loose, i use this tools and it unscrew without much effort. use it on my bike rusty brake disc screw. i just use the made in china one, cheap.

@@pizza_bootySo basically, grab your hammer drill instead. (Commonly used in other parts of the world cause everything is build out of brick and concrete) Most west Americans don’t know what that is so they use those manual tools their grandparents had. 😂 This is why you will ever see them used for mechanics since there is not much use elsewhere and even on a car nowadays this is about the only part you will use it on. “No matter how hard your press this provides more pressure” 🤦 I guess this is the result of the American way of teaching math. As in, not at all. 😂

I have two of these and your description did not help at all! I could not get either one to turn to right or left!

I also have a Noname one, and it never worked. I think it's broken or I'm missing something understanding how to use it.

You have to push upward to turn them.
