I bought a used one (Snap-On) at a swap meet. Don't they all work like you turn it in the direction you want and then whack it with a hammer.

I bought this on a whim cause it was cheap but I have found all kinds of uses.

Rusted in Phillips head screws are no match for it. I think it does three things.
1. it forces the Phillips bit down into the screw head
2. the shock forces the screw down into the hole.
3. it delivers a spike of torque to the screw.
