I have one of them wheels - great tool.  Use it for seized cross heads.  Don't see the need for an electric one.

I have one of those too. Bought when I was replacing the cheese-like Philips screws on my GS750 for steel hex screws. That makes it even older than wheels's example 😀

Ah well, I said “over 40 years” - I didn’t specify by how much! I still use it though.

Impact drivers don’t normally have torque control so it is easy to drive the screw too deep and to get consistency of head depth, I get a feeling they are usually used for first fix operations. I have that cheap erbauer one and it is fine
