    An impact driver wouldn't be needed on stainless as they would have Allen or Torx heads, and therefore wouldn't suffer the same probs as the philips heads on the standard bolts

    I have next to me an impact driver with allen bit ...

    So the point , its not if it can be used .... But to not be used ..

    Because the bolt does not have the same mechanical straight .

    I have destroy an allen stainless steel bolt head , just by the force of my hand.

    And i do not eat lots of spinach ..

    I ended up buying , ultimate quality long allen keys , so to control the force on tightening them up .
