 You probably know about it already, but for those that don't, you can buy a great tool at Sears called a hand impact driver. Basically it holds a socket, or a screwdriver bit, and when you hit the head with a hammer if provides a turning force in the direction you want to go and at the same time the force of the impact keeps the bit seated deeply in the bolt so it doesn't round it out. I've found it invaluable to use on phillips head and allen head bolts on motorcycles. It's great for breaking corroded bolts free and it saves a ton of cussing and time. You can buy cheaper units at Harbor Freight and other places, but the Sears one seems to be made exceptionally well. I have several, and the Sears unit I have is well over 30 years old and still works like the day it was bought. You can buy adaptors to hold 1/2" drive allen wrench bits.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
