    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

JIS Impact Screwdriver --- Thanks for the post!

I looked at your link and thought "that's a nice looking screwdriver, but I don't see the 'impact' part of it".

Then I read the description. Apparently the twisting mechanism is hidden inside the 'normal'-looking handle. Nice. :encouragement:

.
 
i'm think it may have been ME !!!
I love mine, and can't believe I didn't mess up more screws than I did in all the years of messing with bikes!
I still use a regular #3 phillips with a slightly ground off tip for a lot of screws, but this Vessel is being used with more regularity.
 
I use the JIS for normal stuff but the bits in the impact driver seem to fit the screws just fine. The tip was years back because that's when I ordered 2 short ones and 2 long ones
 
hmmmm, I wonder about how much torque there could be in a long skinny shank like these versus me twisting a driver with my hand while tapping with a mallet...oh well.
 
FYI... Amazon has these for sale too. I just orders the #2 P2x100 980 impacta (fit JIS) for $11.46 with free shipping.

Thanks to whoever found these originally & shared them with us. I hope they live up to their reputation thus far.

Cheers
 
I think better you choose one impact driver like DeWalt 1/4" and It sale on blackFriday on Amazon. It is high power and i highly recommend

Chris, if you want the ultimate set look at the set VMASS listed above, very nice set with 150mm long shafts on the Impact, P2 & P3 drivers, they feel so much nicer to use than the shorter 100mm models.

The price of $73.00 US is great deal for what you get.

David.

PS did you get the "L" running yet?

And this eBay seller is great. I ordered this set on a Friday and it was delivered on Monday.
 
Finally had the chance to use the Impacta on a set of carbs. A great improvement over the standard impact. Consider it a must have!
 
When I bought a few JIS Vessel screwdrivers from RR Tools about 2 years ago, there was no mention of the Impacta yet.

With our devalued currency and international shipping charges, getting one now is wishful thinking for me!

It's a newer style driver. I have an old Vessel impact driver; bought it in 1980-81. Still have it and it still works as well as it did when it was brand new. They are tanks and worth every penny.

Heh; not only spam, but spam of the wrong item. You're priceless.
 
Used my Impacta driver for the first time here recently and it worked a treat on carb screws, like the ones on the gang bars. The Impacta doesn't strike me as being robust in the way a real impact driver is, where you can whack it with a small sledge. Decently useful tool though.
