K505 Manual Impact Screwdriver/Extractor Set, 1/4-Inch, 32-Piece

Good

I've never before used an impact tool like this so I know no other to compare it to. But it did work as advertised and as I had hoped for. I used it to remove extremely stubborn and slightly stripped shower drain screws, along with EZ Grip friction drops to help get a purchase in the screw head drives. Maybe it is designed to do so, but I had to push down and turn it to "L" after each hammer strike. I would buy it again based on my overall experience.

Managed to remove 7 VERY stubborn oil pump cover bolts on a Jeep 3.8 V6 timing cover. Regular T27 bits were bending the drive fins when used with a ratchet. The bolts were in like they had Locktite on them, but they were just in solidly after 15 years of service. The T27 bit showed no damage after use. Excellent tool, but a warning -- there were no instructions included ( I already have larger units so I knew how it worked). I would recommend wearing very grippy gloves and turning in desired direction as you strike the driver (use a steel faced deadblow for best results and safety glasses of course). All in all an excellent tool.

I use these 1/4” impact drivers on all sorts of stuck hardware. They’re great and save from stripping the screw heads.

As you can see on one of my photos there is an arrow and a L and R on the shaft of the driver. You push the end of the driver in a small amount and this let's you turn the the L or R symbol to align with the arrow. There are no instructions so I am making the assumption that you would only ever use the R for tighten to put in a bit to remove a broken screw or bolt.Overall a good tool but maybe priced a little high at the current listing of $29.99. My only regret is that I don't currently have some sort of stubborn screw to use it on. (Okay, I am glad I currently don't have a broken or stubborn fastener).This is a five star tool but I am taking a star off as I believe it is over-priced.Thank you for reading my review and looking at my photos of this product. I hope you found it helpful!REVIEW PHILOSOPHY: I only review a product if it is something I am capable of critically evaluating through comparison, testing and use. This means I have experience of using similar items; or that I have equipment or tools that I can test it with; or that I have an upcoming need so I can actually use. I am as selective about getting an item to review as I would be about purchasing that same item, so yes, I expect it to be a good product. My reviews are NOT based on packaging or if it was delivered timely.

With its 32-piece set, I feel confident that I have everything I need to take on any project that comes my way. The impact force is instantaneous and loosens even the toughest screws without damaging them, which is a huge relief.One of the best features of this set is the forward and reverse function that allows me to easily tighten and loosen screws with ease.

I love that I can quickly find the exact piece I need without having to dig through a messy toolbox. The case also helps to protect the tools from damage, making sure they are always ready to use.Included in the set are 19-piece impact bits, 3-piece screw extractors, 8-piece nut drivers, and an impact driver. The variety of pieces in this set means that I can handle almost any type of screw or bolt I come across. I no longer have to worry about stripping screws or damaging them in the process of removal. If the screw heads are already stripped, then the screw extractors are great bonus.

With its instant impact force, comfortable handle, and compact case, this set is a must-have for any DIY enthusiast.

I picked this up to replace an older impact driver that I had broken several of the bits on.Of course, I didn't realize that this was a 1/4" driver, much smaller than the 3/8" driver set I currently own. That being said, I am keeping this as I believe it will come in handy for those smaller screws that are stuck and I can't use my battery impact driver to remove due to corrosion, etc.It includes a nice assortment of bits and 3 screw extractors. They all seem to be made of the same material, so I have some concern about the durability of the screw extractors (they are usually made of hardened steel).The kit comes in a nice hard shell plastic case with a secure clip. All of the bits are labeledWhen I first opened the box, the driver had a small retaining clip out of alignment and I could not insert a bit. It only took a minute to push the clip back into place with needle nose pliers, but be aware that you could have the same issue.In use, the action is smooth and as long as you use a small hammer/mallet it is easy to strike. This tool is for more precision work, so a 5 pound sledge would be a bad idea. It easily removed the 3 or 4 screws I tried it out on, and I am confident it will perform as advertised.
