Impact drivers are the way forward (or anti-clockwise if you see what I did there....)

No, an impact driver is not a posh worcd for a hammer! It\'s a screwdriver that when smashed witha  hammer, both screws (or unscrews) and applis pressure -a bout 20 quid, and hugely useful :cool:
Until you take all the screws off and replace them with cap head stainless :o

drimmel cut a slot in it then grab  a flat blad screw driver and undo it
