Cry once when you purchase quality tools, or cry every time you try and use the junk tool. Harbor Fright Maybe Garden Web should start a tool forum? I thought you all might be entertained by the ongoing saga of the drill bit, drill, and my oak cabinets.
So, I finally installed the other handle yesterday. New Dewalt drill, new Dewalt steel drill bits not a split head the first time , and the drill bit broke. Yep, it did break off in the cabinet door, but it had gone far enough through that I could dislodge it from the back of the door. The split drill bit did better, it didn't break, but it was smoking, hot and looks a little crooked now.
This is a brand new Dewalt drill, brand new steel drill bits. I'm thinking that oak is darned sturdy. For now my bathroom saga is done, but I will be putting hardware on my other bathroom cabinets and kitchen cabinets too. If you happen to have any advice on how I could improve the installation of cab hardware on my oak cabinets, I'm all ears.
You obviously put side pressure on the drill, instead of pushing straight into the bit. You also don't realize you did that, but you did. That's the only way a good bit could snap off like that. Well, I suppose that's possible, but I doubt it. I was using the level at the back of the drill so I know the drill was straight. The untrained will pickup a pistol grip drill motor and hold it so that their first finger is engaging the trigger.
Holding the tool so, with the arm fully extended out, reveal that there is an offset from the straight line described by the bit, chuck and motor in relationship with the arm.
This, especially with smaller bits, can make them susceptible too minor deflections. Moving the hand up so that the thumb and first two fingers are along the armature housing and using the third finger as the trigger finger brings the bit, chuck, motor and your arm more in line. I will definitely keep that in mind for my next set of cabinets which I'll be updating before the end of summer. Thanks for the tip! With a steady hand cut a slit in the top of the exposed screw just deep enough for a small standard screw driver and unscrew.
I've done this several times and it works like a charm. Even if you have to penetrate the wood a little it's the size of a scratch mark and easily disguised. Good luck.

Thanks, LB. I really like the wallpaper too. When drilling with a traditional screw extractor, this is the best tool to use.
This wood extractor is not only used to remove small screws, but also those that have hardened into the wood as well. One of the hollow bits is used to make a core into the wood. The core then pops out with the screw. The hole can be filled in with a plug or dowel. Certain screws can be actually be extracted using easily an electric drill.
This is faster than manually screwing it onto the surface. To remove four screws where the heads are burred, you can make use of a wide rubber band and you need to place it on top of the screw and push the screwdriver.
This will tighten the grip of the screwdriver. If this doesn't work, use a drill. Use a smaller drill and drill a hole into top of the screw. Then use your Phillips to remove the screw.

Is there any need for a special attachment to hold the bit? I've always just used a regular socket of the appropriate size.
