    It also helps sometime to tighten first to break them loose. Sounds counter-intuitive but it works and the tool will many time grip better in the tightening direction. Once it breaks loose you can then loosen it using less force.

    I've been using the same impact screwdriver since the mid-70's and it's still the tool of choice when I run across a pesky rusted screw.

    & you'll need to have one in your tool chest whenever you get around to repacking your bearings anyway.
