I need a screwdriver with some leverage to remove engine bolts. I cannot seem to search for the right type of screwdriver online. What is this? Thanks very much?
That is commonly called a speed wrench. Sears Craftsman 9_44271 for 3/8" drive. But, hey what you want is a hand impact screwdriver. No self respecting outboard mechanic would dare be without one. It has a cam inside that rotates the bit when you whack it with a hammer. Greatest thing since sliced bread.
Thanks everyone for the quick replies and alternatives. I am actually just putting together a tool set to get me started on restoring my first outboard - a late 50s Johnson 10hp. Not a total restore for appearance - just running condition for use. I am supposed to pick it up within next week or so provided compression checks out ok.
If you have an air compressor skip the speed wrench and buy a "rattle wrench" more commonly called an "air impact wrench" like this one. They are available in 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive. They are adjustable for torque.
Without a doubt the impact driver, the one you hit with a hammer is a must in every toolbox, it will remove even the most stubborn screws/ bolts without braking or striping
