    I'm removing wheel speed sensor torx bits, the first one rounded off instant due to the tiny spline surfaces being corroded. I have a milwaukee Impact driver, and damaged screw removal kit, am I best using one of these instead, or if the torx bits are badly corroded is it gonna give a headache.. And best using a damaged screw removal set and a drill. Many thanks amigo

    Do we have the same grandmother.?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adrian V V says:

    Thanks for the tip on valve grindning compound! It just saved the day for me. A close to stripped out T50. Some heat, some impact and the compound and it turned out like it had no damage to the head whatsoever. 👍

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Puig says:

    I've got one of those however, didn't know about the valve lapping compound. Thanks for the tip.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blue03r6 says:

    you can't be a motorcycle mechanic without one of these. it's as basic as a 10mm socket

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Couldn't think of a good name so I guess this is it says:

    Fucking fantastic tool – there is no modern replacement for what this does for you.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jackson Ledford says:

    That thing will get things off that the breaker bar or my air impact won't touch. You'd be surprised

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Babcock says:

    That compound trick is legit. I dont have any but im always looking for a good reason to buy new useful tools

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J WM says:

    Spit and some ajax/comet/barkeepers friend works too. Any abrasive powder. Don't get it soaked, just enough to make a glob on the apex.

    Removed many a fastener ruined by an avionics tech on many an aircraft with that trick.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D.A. says:

    Free tip Friday ….clean the threads of the screws and use a little anti-seize on the threads if you put them back in for next time you need this done ….never an issue after that!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chandler says:

    Your grandma was a great mechanic.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ucnhtmenow says:

    So I've had one forever that a neighbor gave me in a tool box, and it seems like he made a huge flat head from a socket and it was on the impact driver, which is why I didn't know there was a 3/8. socket adapter under it. I seen it while researching the noise my electric impact made, and I seen the 3/8 on it. I immediately ran into the garage, grabbed it and pulled that huge flat head thing off. Now I have to find something to use it on.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Vet says:

    when back in the day when I was way younger, I bought one that looks to be the vary same make.
    You couldn't hurt it, but A-lass, after 30 years, it went the way of the dodo -bird, my replacement impact driver wasn't any where near as good as the first one. O well..

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alan Torrance says:

    I have had an Impact Driver for something like 30 years. It is a marvellous tool and has allowed me to undo various screws fasteners that otherwise were stuck solid.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Wakamatsu says:

    I have used manual impact drivers for decades and never used the valve lapping compound but, will use tomorrow. Thank you

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Dale says:

    Great tip the grinding paste. Just a thought. How about some heat before using the impact

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Ayers says:

    “Don’t tell anybody that. It’s an old, old family tip.”
    proceeds to put it on YouTube
