My impact driver is ancient and cost pennies when I bought it in 1978 - the maker's sticker went floorwards years ago, but I have a feeling it was a cheapie Hilka one. In 30 years of spannering rusty old heaps it finally snapped the No.2 Philips head last year. I haven't a clue what the better ones to buy are, or what they cost nowadays.

Brake cleaner is great for removing grease stains, but don't spray it directly on, squirt it onto a clean rag and then dab on the stain
