Re: impact driver

I'd say the corded models will have more torque than the cordless. Rounding off a bolt is one reason I like to use US made 6 point sockets. You're not only working against the manufacturer who torqued the bolt on but also rust and the possibility they used a thread locker (LocTite).

Soaking it with a good penetrant (Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc.) for a day or more will often work wonders and using heat will help break any thread locker if used.
