I've been stripping Red and had a little trouble with the #3 phillips screws on the back door hinges this morning (and last night).

#3 phillips screwdriver and hammer, got one.

#3 phillips screwdriver, big vise grips and hammer, got another one. Strip the next one.

Then I remember I have a #3 phillips screwdriver socket so now I'm gonna rock, broke it on the first screw. Throw the rachet through the garage and knock my grille off the wall and scared the dog, who pee's all over the garage on the way out...

...thirty minutes later, I'm back from Sears Hardware with a 200 ft-lb hammer assisted impact wrench complete with #3 and #4 phillips bits.

BAM, BAM, BAM...and I'm done, what a jewel and worth every penny today :D

my grandpa's family use to make dynamite for a living.... I wish he would have should me how to before he passed... he was pretty good at it too... as he used to say.. "you can tell how good someone is by looking at their hands, as you can see I have all my fingers"
