Salvage Mangled Threads

By J.R. Bluett On November 20, 2008 · 5 Comments · In Amazon, Cooper Tools, Hand Tools, Nicholson

Many of us have experienced the pain of cross-threading; careful as we try to be, sometimes things are just so unwieldy that cross-threading is inevitable. With these thread-restoring files you may be able to restore those damaged or worn — external — threads.

Name That Tool: Raspel?

By Benjamen Johnson On September 5, 2008 · 8 Comments · In Amazon, Hand Tools, Nicholson, Sears, Woodworking

Just what do you call a combination chisel and rasp: a raspel or a risel? Neither — you call it damn handy! Nicholson packs a chisel, a flat rasp, and a half-round rasp into one useful tool that they call the WoodChuck. You probably aren’t going to choose this tool for fine woodworking, but stick it in your tool belt and you’ll surely find a dozen uses for it.
