    The impacta series drivers work perfectly.

    I bought a set of screwdrivers for my RC hobby a while back and I think I accidentally bought the JIS type. I thought it was a Chinese thing not Japanese and they do work well. I say Chinese because just about all the RC stuff comes from China.

    Posts #31 and #33 appear to imply that a conventional, separate, hand impact driver works as well or better. Per posts #6 and #14, what he ordered was the Impacta series. Perhaps he received defective units?

    Yeah mine say Impacta. Left a review on Amazon, haven't heard anything back from seller. I'm ok with them, as screw drivers, and I know my impact driver can do things like get the honda rotor screws off.

    FWIW, I actually reinstalled them, just firmly snugged down, with a good coat of anti-seize. Considering how quickly they came off with my old school impact driver (and 4 pound sledge hammer :whistle:), I think it'll be ok if there's a next time.
