damage from impact. 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.

Amen to that. One of THE most useful things I own.
