They help with changing pads, as it keeps the rotor straight. Use one as a tool, then keep it in the tool box.

That's a good thought. Just keep some of them with the other "specialized" tools I use for changing pads!

use an impact screwdriver not a standard one.

If you use an impact driver the screws wil loosen right up. Check your local auto parts store.

Well, when I changed my front rotors Monday night, the impact driver loosened the first three screws right up, no problem, and completely stripped the head of the fourth screw, no problem. I had to drill out the head to change the rotor that night, and then get help getting the shaft out of the hub.

That's a fight I would rather not have if there's no good reason to have it.
