I inherited one of the inexpensive impact tools -- hit the backend
with a hammer and it rotates the bit -- from my Dad.  Finally, one of
his tools that works!  And it works a treat!  It has be-goin-in and
be-comin-out directions.  Before that, I used an old lug-nut wrench
kind of like Joe G's monster screwdriver.
