    Also, the BEST thing to use to clean the carbon out of the ring grooves is one of the old rings! NOTHING works as well! Go to Harbor Freight or Sears to buy an impact screwdriver. Ray.

      I'd get a Sears impact. Those Harbor Freight jobs are pretty crappy from what I've heard.

        Yes, I did scare the tip off the phillips bit before I even hit the thing with a hammer.

          The flash point of Kerosene is 110 degrees. Possible but not likely that you will be using Kerosene for a cleaning solvent when it's that hot. I've had great results cleaning rusty and really greasy parts that would otherwise have taken A LOT more effort to clean without it.

            Sears (craftsman) has the impact for around $20-$25 and Home Depot (Husky brand) has them for around $16. They should last for a long time. Just in case, buy an extra PH2 bit for the impact. Mine only came with one that size. I also bought 2 PH1 bits.
