Dale is correct about the in-line oilers however, do not purchase a cheap
one. About 15 years ago when I purchased my first compressor I thought that
was the only way to go since I had previously rented a system for a deck
project and it had the in-line oiler.
I found one at harbor freight for u
You can buy in-line oilers too if you like, don't instal one in a line that
is likely to be used for a paint sprayer. Some can be installed right at the
tool, useful for wrenches and chisels and sanders and drills and such, not
probably necessary for most nailers.

Lenny,
Reading your post reminds me... I failed to mention that you're, indeed,
supposed to drill a small pilot in the stripped head before using this
removal tool... but, according to the instructions, this may not always be
necessary. However, it doesn't say how you're supposed to know when it
Hi Guys,
I can't believe I did that! Dale, Bill, you were correct. The threads on
these things are reversed. Duh!
I was simply following the Home Depot guys instructions, which were...
"Put the removal bit in your drill, go slowly, then back out the screw."
Rather incomplete instructions.
Hi Ray and Bill,
I know that I do over oil my brad nailer. I had my wife read the manual for
oiling. and the nailer that I have calls for one drop for every 1,000 nails.
Since I do not use it every day and probably have not shot 1,000 brads since
I have the gun I know I over oil it.
Occasionally
Hello Barry,
from what you are describing sounds like a tool called an easy out.
To use the tool you must first drill a small hole into the screw or bolt.
then you insert the easy out and turn it in counter clockwise. this will
then grab the screw or bolt and turn it out.
There is another old pro
Thanks Ray, this was really useful.

Hi All
You need to use a drill bit, drill a shallow hole in the head of the screw
and then use the screw removal tool to extract the tool by turning it
counterclockwise. The threads on those items are reversed so they'll bite
into the screw going counter-clockwise.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong except perhaps you have the
instructions wrong. Seems to me that backing up the drill would simply
withdraw the bit!
Maybe you are supposed to drill the device in backward until it is fully
buried at which point it withdraws the screw.
The other thing
Hi Folks,
Has anyone had any experience with this little tool? They're for removing
screws whose heads have been stripped. It's shaped like a nail-set, with
threads about the bottom inch. I bought a set of these things... Apparently
you need the correct size for the screw you're attempting to
Go to Kmart or Wal-Mart, they in this area just charge for the battery.

About Nails
Nails are something that we take for granted in this age of plenty that we
live in, I remember my grandad sitting in the shop spending a rainy
afternoon
straightening used rusty nails some fifty years ago. He said we were lucky
to have pails full of nails and would recount how at

About Joints
There are many ways of fastening pieces of wood together, some are purely
functional such as butt joints, while others such as dovetails are

as well as decorative. To add additional strength or appeal two or more
types of joints are often combined such as splined mite

Here's my two cents on the glass in the TV stand.
We had a metal stand with glass shelves we used for a long time with
one of the TV's and with the items you mentioned. The equipment
actually puts out more heat than you would think, and the glass was
frequently very warm, whereas now that it's
Why glass?
These are shelves with equipment covering them. They won't really be all
that visible. Usually you use glass shelves either to make a piece look very
light or in a display type situation. Glass wants a lot more fussy cleaning
too in order to keep looking good, dust and finger prints
The amount of research you do for this list is quite amazing my friend, keep
