I'm sure others have used those 'whackit' type impact drivers
successfully, but I've tried 3 of them and every one just wasted $10
each. The bits however are great in the screw knocker, which I suppose
makes them a little less of a waste of money to me. You must know
someone with a small compressor that you can borrow. Most hardware
stores will rent you one for about 4 hours for ~ $10. That's gotta be
worth getting every bolt out of your jeep worth the investment. You'll
spend enough replacing broken fasteners & stuff and trying out 'almost
works' tools to buy a knocker for $20 and rent a compressor for a day. A
Harbor Freight or other ElCheapoGrande air hammer only costs about $6 or
$7. Just make sure you lube it regularly while you use it and it'll be
fine. If you let any air tool (especially ElCheapoGrande) run dry,
that's when you'll have problems with them.
Even if you don't have air tools and a compressor, you should be buying
impact components whenever you can for bits and adapters. They take a
beating like you wouldn't believe. I only buy impact stuff from HF and
other import joints and I have yet to break a single one. Even whacking
them with a Big F%#@ing Hamme... I mean a precision impact 'Micro-Adjuster'.

All of the impact drivers I have seen use a 3/8 drive at the tip, which
the adapter for the hex bits slide over, so anything you can adapt to 3/
8 drive can be used for the impact driver.
The other poster was right, they sometimes don't work. But usually they
work great, and will get screws and bolts out when other methods fail.
My experience has been if an impact driver won't do the job, I end up
drilling the fastener out (as happened today on some nasty old Cessna
landing gear fairings).
