Getting door hinges off. 1960 beetle

Hi all probably covered many times, I've wd40 the hinges hammered with a Phillips screw driver, I will heat after they come off .
But I'm looking to borrow or buy one of those hammer ratchets to get the screws loose? Any suggestions ?
Or other ways?

Cheers Brendon

Yea, an air ratchet gun normally does the trick so an impact driver in reverse should work too. The hand held impact driver that you twat with a lump hammer needs to be a good quality one cos the Supershite ones may loosen a hinge before being a paperweight :)

I've got the vice grips on the screwdriver, and turned it while bashing the end of the screw driver - got a few out - the rest i drilled and used an 'Easy-Out'

Good job :) One of those impact screwdrivers sure work well if not a Supershite cheapo :)
