Mar 20	comment	Do I have to remove the existing 6' fence posts to install an 8' metal fence? If all else fails you can do the following: remove some of concrete or ground into which the posts are set, cut just below surface, weld new posts to leftovers of old posts, then either paint the welded joints, or cover them in concrete to protect them from rust.

Feb 4	comment	My cordless drill is smoking, is that bad? I'd say the drill is gonna die and it is likely a warranty-covered death. This is specific drill is professional, so it almost surely has overload protection that should limit the current when there's serious overload. I guess this protection simply didn't kick in and this is a warranty-covered incident.

Jan 22	comment	How do I remove a drill bit that is stuck due to an overtightened chuck? I had no idea of strap wrenches before reading this.
Jan 22	comment	How do I remove a drill bit that is stuck due to an overtightened chuck? Strange. The typical procedure is like in this video youtube.com/watch?v=usC8unA5RiA - you loosen the chuck open wide and then unscrew a screw inside.
Jan 22	comment	How do I remove a drill bit that is stuck due to an overtightened chuck? Nope, this will likely damage the plastic chuck exterior big time and if you repeat that you'll likely get all the plastic stripped and the result will be really ugly and not very usable.
