Hex/Allen head driver - what do you use?

I've recently had a few issues with corroded bolts rounded off while using Allen keys. I'm wondering whether I may be able to minimise it happening in future by using something electric - a half-way-house between an impact driver and an electric drill. The logic being that shocking something undone means it is less likely to round off, compared to applying torque slowly by hand.

Just curious to hear what everyone uses, and whether you have recommendations for something reasonably lightweight as an alternative to allen keys.

Thanks!
