Default Stuck setscrew update..

I've been able to remove rusted bolts or nuts with impact
wrench. I'd not have thought of using a hammer drill for a
stuck setscrew. Great idea, thank you. Oh, uh, er, thank
your friend who had the idea.

You learn something new every day, if you're paying
attention and humble enough to be teachable.

The drill bit was right hand twist, a good one
but a bit on the short side of normal as the
web was thicker and the point was split.

Apparently the percussion effect was the trick!
Had I seen the guy pick up the hammer drill I
would have been shocked! So it's true, you
learn something new every day, eih?
