I'm a bit surprised by the example of the door hinge screws; I don't
doubt that it works but the traditional method (clean slot, couple of
taps with screwdriver) has always worked well for me. You may enjoy
using an impact driver for this job, but would you fail to do it using
only a decent screwdriver?

Takes seconds with my little Makita as opposed to ages faffing around with
an ordinary screwdriver.
