  • As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to have chimneys cleaned at least once a year. Usually before cold weather sets in.

    Stripped Screw? Try Grabit

    DrillI was helping my dad put together a stand for my mom’s Nefertiti bust she just bought. We were using brass screws, and he warned me not to go too fast with the drill, because the brass screws strip easily. Alas, I went too fast with the drill and stripped the screw. This is why my dad doesn’t let me help him very often.

    He wasn’t very mad, though, like he usually would be. He told me to go over to his tool bench and get the Grabit drill bits. He then easily removed the screw and drilled a new screw right into place. If he had not had the Grabit screw remover, this could have taken a very long time.

    So, if you have a tendency to strip screws like I do, check out the Grabit stripped screw removers. It would save you a ton of time!
