Default Impact screwdrivers?!

I've been looking for one of those impact screwdrivers, the kind you hit with a hammer, to remove the rotor set screws. Trouble is, every store I've been to says they've stopped selling them.

Where can I buy one of these? I need to replace my rotors!

Thanks.

I couldn't find one either but I found a good website with info on what to get so I did.

Go buy a #3 x 6" screw driver. I bought mine at Advanced Auto. It is manufactured by AmPro.

It worked just fine for me. Good luck.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

even better idea works everytime. take a ballpene hammer and rest the ball end against the screw take another hammer and hit the head of the ballpene. what this does is it brakes the screw loose. I worked at just brakes and they tought me this trick to get the screw out easily. You may have to whack it a couple times to break it loose but after that it comes off easily

stick the tip of the screw driver into the dirt, then try it. the dirt gives the screw driver some bite
