Its 17 years old and has lived in salt its entire life. I'm actually surprised its not worse.

Oddly enough the power tool is able to remove most bolts without snapping them. The hammering action must help break the rust up before the bolts snap. I've only snapped one bolt with the impact. I've snapped two with normal wrenches.
