For those thinking this is an overpriced screwdriver, it's actually to remove stripped screws. You whack it with a hammer and it bites and loosens at the same time.

How is this a deal, at $2.00 off? Better to buy just various bits from Vega, Wiha, Vessel etc. and use with a 1/4" impact or power screwdriver.
Admittedly this isn't a stellar deal but after you've used one of these you'll appreciate the ease in which this will remove stubborn screws. I've used a heavy version for getting out the brake rotor set screws without a hint of damage. Was looking at this for maybe being a lighter option in my carry bag when heading to the yard.

Ha I think you're right. Can't think of the use case of this or anything else rather than another way of getting the job done

At less than 10% off currently, it's hard to say it's a deal per-se, unless this is something thats frequently out of stock or in-stock at a much higher price than it seems like it would be. But it looks like a great tool. I own and use Vessel and Anex screwdrivers and they're by far my favorite; the Japanese ball-handle design has been the most comfortable and effective driver I've ever used, and I've used a -lot- of screwdrivers. I own powered impact drivers, but not a manual one, and the form factor on this one is a lot less... clunky than many other manual impacts. There's been a few situations where I just wanted one or two good "whacks" with a manual impact, rather than risking zipping the fastener's head off into oblivion, and didn't have one.

$19 is already pretty reasonable for a Vessel impact, considering how their other drivers are typically priced, and I like the feature-set on this one (the serrated-tip Philips head is a neat little touch). I'm gonna hold out and hope the price falls a little bit more in the future.

I have similar product from HF
https://www.harborfreight.com/6-b...64812.html
Pros: multiple bits and 1/2 the price
Cons: probably quality. But I used it and lent it to friends several times (odd DIY jobs) and so far so good.

Then you don't know what an impact driver is.
