I thought this was noteworthy. A beautiful vise restoration.
What a beautiful restoration!

The impact screwdriver. I've had one in my toolbox for almost 50 years. The only reliable way to break free screws on motorcycle cases without stripping the heads.

Very nice!
I would have tried electrolysis, myself, before trying to take it apart. Beautiful job. I'd consider that art! :thumbsup:

I have one too (impact driver). I think it's Harbor Freight from 1979!

It is where I got mine too!
I had to search for that, and yep HF has it. Such a simple tool I can't believe I'm not familiar with it.

Use it on rusted bolts with a hand sledge in winter at about -5F some day.... YIKES! :laughing:

Yep and other things too like the rotor screws on a Honda. I don't use it often but glad it's there when I need it. I think mine is a Craftsman.

Kind of like adjusting the grease gun tip. We all just assume everyone knows about it. And then when you bring it up, you find out that not everyone does. I don't use my hand impact tool near as much anymore. I have pneumatic, and electric, including battery powered ones, so I don't reach for it much anymore, but sometimes it is the answer.
