Good advice.
In my earlier days when I overhauled car engines and gearboxes,
the "hitter" was referred to as a drift. I see on Wikipedia that that's
the name for a hole alignment tool, and no mention is made of an
impulse inflicting tool.

Perhaps "drift" was a term unique to the UK/British Commonwealth
when used in that sense?
