I have several types of 'impact drivers'... a Vesel JIS screwdriver type, a large manual one with interchangeable bits, and a 20v beast of a machine (great for car wheel nuts!).
But they frighten me... Bearing in mind that our engines are mostly alloy castings (including that brake fluid reservoir), whacking a 'screwdriver' with a hammer onto these castings seems very dangerous to me - a cracked casting seems a likely possibility.
I bought my Vesel impact JIS screwdriver to tackle the casing screws on my Yamaha. The first whack I gave it frightened the life out of me! But I'm a great big 'nervous nelly' anyway...!
I will soon be (gently!) trying the 20v impact driver on these screws, to see if I have better luck.
But 'impacting' with a hammer on some of these castings should be undertaken with great trepidation, imho.
