if you didnt know what it was called it is an impact driver. you turn it in the direction you want the screw to go, then you hit it with a hammer.

when I was changing my front disks I noticed the two screws were pretty fouled up. One looked like someone nearly stripped the head, then sautered some metal into it filling it up so you can't get a screwdriver to bight the screw... Anyone know what could have caused that?

you dont need to reinstall the screws when you put your rotors back on. They are only there to hold them on during assembly.

If the screw heads are really bad, you can use a drill bit to drill the top of the screw off. Take the rotor off, then use channel locks or vise grips to grab ahold of the screw body to remove.
