An impact driver was one of the first tools I got to work on my used 1970s era Suzuki TS250 in 1976. It loosened, and then properly set the crankcase screws when I had to rebuild it. I didn't even replace the screws (what did I know!?), but it held together OK. It cost me $5, with four bits-2 flathead, two JIS/philips (no idea which). Essential tool

All six main bearings and seals on the ends of the crank, counter, and drive shafts, New second gear and counter shaft (fused together), full gasket kit, rebored cylinder (maybe 270cc) and new piston/rings. Oh, and an expansion chamber to replace the OEM muffler. Then I got the crash course in jetting.

That impact driver is still useful.
