The little Makita impact one is brilliant for slotted screws with the
right blade - the kicking action seems to be less likely to damage the
slot than steady torque.


I have been using mine over the last couple of days for removing many
such screws. (Ones that I had put in myself quite a few years ago. :-(
) It is, IMHO, absolutely fantastic at undoing all but the very
tighest/biggest screws.

Certainly worked better than my drill.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
