They do work, albeit a bit slow compared to an air-gun. If it's just for your own use they do get the job done.

The torque multipliers work better cold. Easier to hold to.

Have one here and it works grand,you don't even need to clean off rust from a stud though I would advise it.Bought it at the ploughing last year,85 yo yo's I think or something like that.

You can't beat heat though to loosen anything.:D
