Here's mine. I was recently reminded of how a tool that we easily take for granted can be such a lifesaver in a mechanical pinch. I came across a corroded master cylinder reservoir screw that was simply not going to budge, even with all the pressure I could muster by hand. Time to reach for the impact screwdriver kit.
I was browsing "Inside the Garage," which is a sub-feature of "Continue The Ride," which is a sub-feature of IMS (International Motorcycle Shows), if I'm following the progression correctly. In any case there's a short video on the lowly impact screwdriver, which we may not think of as an essential tool...until that moment comes where a couple of whacks on this thing will save the fastener, possibly save the part and save a boatload of time removing a trashed screw head. And, if you don't have a kit like this in your tool collection, it might be a great suggestion for that understanding significant other as a holiday gift.
