Put screwdriver portion in fitting, turn body of driver all the way in the direction you wish to turn fitting. Hit smartly, repeat.

My brain did not remember but my hands did, when I tried to use impact wrench they remembered, strange.

Way off topic, but what you are describing is a much discussed and studied phenomenon as of late that leads some scientists to believe that our consciousness and memories are not as centered in the brain as we once thought. It's fascinating stuff.

Tony, I am not spending enough time in the garage at all. My back is still not right and it is a son of a ....... with that little car just setting there. I want/need to get to work but it hurts and guess it won't get better unless I rest it.
So much to do and so little time, well lots of time but I am wasteing it.

First you have to hit yourself really really hard with the hammer. That is the first rule for impact drivers. Blood first. Then it may work after that.
