I stopped a snap-on truck today to buy a new 10mm triplesquare so I can do my cam seal replacement ( that I just did 18 mos ago 
) and stop the oil gushing down the back of my timing cover. Of course he had an 8mm and a 12mm on the truck....no 10mm. Fortunately he gave me his cell # and will have one for me next Monday. Good tools are hard to find even if you go to all the right places

Attach the correct bit, put it on the bolt (screw or whatever), and strike the back with a hammer. The action pushes in and turns at the same time. I've used it on many rusted and seized screws and the 1st or 2nd hit they were loose. You can also change direction with it.

we have this tool at work that fits into an air powered rivet gun that has a big handle on it, and a screw tip on one end. just run the rivet gun while turning the handle and out come some of the badly stripped fasteners. a lot easier than an easy out or drill bit.
