Google bit brace or brace and bit and plenty of stuff will come up.  Good for plate screws too.  Get a good one and an assortment of bits – this is a lifetime tool.

Marshall,
  Back top the future. A brace and bit will do the job . No electricity required.Just pick the screwdriver bit that fits the screw head . With this set up you can put your weight behind the tool and have both leverage and the ability to use an impact technique.

Hi Everyone,
I had a quick question. What is the best way to free up tight pressure bar screws?  I'm dismantling this old piano my brother had, an old cable Nelson player to be exact.  The pressure bar screws are tight tight tight won't budge. My screw driver just cuts up the crew head.  Unfortunately I don't have electric that far out in the yard well it's more like a drive way in our duplex we rent.  I do have a 3/8 drill I believe black and decker. If I couldget a cord long enough out there would that free it up or is there somethign I can appy to it to free it up.  It is one frozen screw.  I put all mof my 189lbs into it and it won't budge, and I've done physical work most of my life.  Thanks everyone
