The little Makita impact one is brilliant for slotted screws with the

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.

Yup - I had to take out some large screws which were covered in paint and
would usually have been a real pain, either by hand or with a ordinary
drill. But it just whizzed them out.
