I can't IMAGINE working without one.
When working on rusty parts, I usually just use the nutsplitter
by default. I'd rather spend one minute on each of ten bolts with
the nutsplitter than get five off easily, three off with an impact
driver, and two with a torch.
Even if it doesn't save time, it makes the removal time a known
quantity that makes the job mentally easier.
I usually replace all the hardware anyways, so saving the
one I am taking off is of no real value. I have a huge bag of
random MGB hardware if any purists object. ;>
