   My favorite tool for *persuading* stubborn fasteners is an
   impact screwdriver.  These usually have a 1/2 inch drive shank
   for using hardened impact sockets and a collar attatchment to
   drive flat and phillips head bits.

   The amount of torque is varied by the size of the hammer
   and the severity of the blow.  Even if the offending nut/
   bolt/screw doesn't budge, this is a great stress reliever  =;O
   
   These things deliver a tremendous amount of concentrated
   force.  You will probably ruin the fastener getting it out, and 
   on occasion I've had screw heads shear clear off.  YMMV. 
   
   I've used mine to remove door hinge screws, striker plates- 
   even sacrificial anodes from boat hulls.  One of the best
   $15 tools that I own.
