I work on scoots for a living so anything I can do to save time is great. The single most time saving tool I have in my arsenal is a cheap $5 drill bit socket adapter set from Harbor Freight. It allows you to spin bolts at a rate that is humanly impossible. Coupled with a Phillips head bit you can strip down and reassemble a scooter in half the time it takes using hand tools. I strongly suggest everyone get a set of them. Like I said I got mine at HF but if you don't have one close by then you can get them on-line. compare.ebay.com/like/160639012525?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y I also have a set of these cause they save time coupled with a drill or ratchet. Happy Wrenching!

Yeah I like these, I've stuck a 1/4 extension in my drill before but it slipped on some of the tighter stuff. There are times when an impact is not a good idea to use.

Yeah. 1/4 inch is too small. I use the 3/8 bit practically all the time and I just have a regular 19.5 V Craftsman cordless drill with adjustable torque chuck. Most of the time I do the final tightening by hand but I seat the bolts with the drill to save all that cranking on the ratchet.
Another good use for the socket bit is that you can spin the engine with it to start it for test purposes if you have the side cover/variator off or the battery disconnected or for any other reason you can't use the starter but you want to start the engine.
