    Rigmasters way is best. You'll find many applications for the tool. It's the poor man's impact wrench.

    You could pickup a kit for stripped screws. For set screws (HEX type hole), you use TORX style bit and hammer in the bit to the strip screw and then turn. If you cannot find a kit for stripped screws, normal TORX bit works as well. Just use slightly larger TORX bit and hammer it in and then turn. Do not try larger HEX bit, this will only cause the stripped hole to become worse. Using TORX will create a new fitting after you hammer it in. Result is extremely tight fit so you can unscrew stripped screw. Give it a try... IT WORKS!!!
