There are arrows on mine to indicate which way to twist.
I never know which way to twist the head for tighten / loosen on these.
An easy way to remember would be helpful.
The powered ones are great.

Yes, but as the screw already has seen some abuse, the slot calls for special care.Just using a screwdriver and whatever to turn it relies on the torque ie leverage you can obtain an impact driver will exceed what can be obtained by screwdriver and lever.
All mechanical impact drivers have a selection of bits and there will be a snug fitting one that will do the job
Hence the advice to use a good (tight) fitting bit or driver blade.Yes, but as the screw already has seen some abuse, the slot calls for special care.
I'd look to replace it with e.g. a slotted hex.
What do you think an impact driver is.A Hammer Through Screwdriver so that you can rapidly hit the end of it while applying the turning force is one of the best methods.
Totally different type of usage. The impact is one large thump whereas the hammer through is a faster series of lighter controlled thumps with a constant rotary force.What do you think an impact driver is.
I don't think you have used a mechanical rotary impact driver and if you have you haven't used it to it full potential.Totally different type of usage. The impact is one large thump whereas the hammer through is a faster series of lighter controlled thumps with a constant rotary force.
Put a new washer on. You don't have to tighten up so much to stop it leaking !Thanks all. After more penetrating oil, and the help of a mate who conveniently popped round to catch up, managed to crack it open. Now for the impeller....
You have obviously never used a hammer through to make such a remark.I don't think you have used a mechanical rotary impact driver and if you have you haven't used it to it full potential.

Mechanical rotary have their uses but not normally for screws in metal.
Don't knock it until you have tried it.
Each to their own.
In this job a rotary impact that you hit with a large hammer would be my second choice.
