Dogs nails - battery powered Dremel. With Halloween coming up watch Walmarts and the like for the battery powered Dremel Pumpkin carving kits. Toss the funky little bits that come with it and slap on a drum sander and the dog will thank you. My collies respond well to it as did my Italian Greyhounds.

Sparky says oh hell no. He hates spinning electric motors.

Does this---acetone/transm fluid---work better than PBB/Liq Wrench, etc? Anybody else try this?

Nut splitter didn't break (even though my kid put the impact on it at one point---a move he "guaranteed" would break it). It was tough to use though, under the car, reaching up, frame rust sprinkling down in your hair and eyes as you work. Problem is, it takes a LOT of torque on the wrench (w/ breaker bar) to drive that wedge through the nut. With no way to hold the splitter down flush, you tend to torque it right off the nut. Maybe I just got a less than great one, I don't know.

I cringe and cross my legs when I see or here the words 'nut removal' or 'nut splitter'.:eek:

The Snap on ones I have cut through easy. Must be harder steel. Bought them as part of buying an entire garage of an estate.
