You just combine the 1/2″ driver with an impact socket or included screwdriver bit, then hit the end of the driver with a hammer to break lose the fastener.  I used mine for removing motorcycle case and tailgate fasteners.

It's an apt name, since it pretty much has always bailed me out of whatever phillips-bit-based trouble I've gotten myself into. Especially helpful for the import cars that use phillips screws to hold the rear brake discs on (WTF were they thinking?!). My friend calls this the ‘you-hit-it-and-it-turns’.

We used to argue over whether this version was better than the Vessel version. It seems the Vessel has since been upgraded, while the Craftsman has remained the same. http://www.vesseltools.com/shopping/product_info.php?cPath=52&products_id=111 I’ve had one of these for next to forever, also.

Thankfully, it's moved from it's front-of-the-top-drawer location and doesn't get used much anymore, but it sure is a great tool when needed!

You would twist the knurling and it would force the head to go clock or counter-clock wise when the driver was struck. That helped a lot. They need to make one with a hand-shield. Better yet, someone should make one that uses the little .22 caliber rounds from a nail driver.... I used to have one that had an internal angle.
