ANS 2 - I've done this many times with right angle pliers. I have 3 sizes of needle -nose pliers that turn a right angle about 1/2 -1 inch from the point. These are available in real tool stores. Take the appropriate size plier and carefully fit the points around the tap and gently rotate anti-clockwise while pulling up gently too.

What is a erection wrench specifically used for and why is the handle pointed?
This wrench is specifically used to put scaffolding together. One end is pointed so it will fit easily into some parts to be used as a lever.
You place a firm grip on the handle, which is the rod shaped part that covers the majority of the hammer; not the metal part.
Then you "aim" where you want to whack, keeping in mind that the smooth metal surface is what will hit what you want to whack.
After that you move your hand up, and using a combination of elbow and wrist motions whack what you need to whack.
Sometimes it will take multiple times. If you need more help look up an instructional video on Youtube.
Ladders work similarly to climbing stairs. It is also somewhat similar to climbing a ramp, except that the steps force you to walk a predetermined distance with each movement. So you get to climb a small bit at a time rather than climb a distance that is too far and which you cannot reach.
Will a wood drill bit cut through fiberglass?
No will crack on the back side due to excess pressure needed to protrude due to the slight cut angle of a wood bit.
ANS 2 -A 'brad tipped' wood bit will cut very well through fibreglass. Make sure the fibreglass is gel side toward the drill, and pressed tight to a backing piece of plywood or something like that.
What is an alternative to snap ring pliers?
if you have an old pair of plyiers grind the tips down
ANS 2 - Investing in a set (2 pliers and 8 bits) of snap ring pliers will save a LOT of frustration. Holes in rings are very precise and at least 4 sizes in common use. -A set costing less than $20 will give you opening and closing pliers and 2 each of the common bits.
What is the use of cross peen hammer?
A cross pein hammer has a wedge shape at one end. It is used by metalworkers when they are forging. They use this type of hammer to make the metal stretch.
Examples: When forging one may want to bend the metal. By using a cross peen one can stretch the hot metal in such a way that it bends more easily because one sde is stretched a little more than the other. Also, there is such a thing as 'moving a hole.' This is done by stretching the metal between the two holes a little so the distance between them gets bigger. On an anvil there are some tools one can use like a cross peen hammer, they are called fullers. A lower fuller would be fitted into the hole in the anvil and the hot work placed above and hammered to get the stretching. Or one could use an upper fuller to work the hot metal from the top. Or they could both be worked together to get even more stretching. The cross peen could be used in the same way as these upper and lower fullers with an anvil.
With a cross peen the stretching of a flat bar can be controlled more easily than with a ball peen. Sometimes it might be more convenient to have the wedge shape vertical than across so one can stretch work that is placed in a different position more easily.
What is the drill bit that i need to convert natural gas to propane at 40000 btu's?
you cannot do this because a natural gas orifice is larger than a propane orifice. you can make a propane jet work for a natural gas jet simply by drilling it approx. 210 %
you must buy new jets. usually the company that made you appliance will sell the jet kits for you! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! GOOD LUCK.
Depends on what you are needing it for. First you should determine what size socket wrench [ratchet] to use. If using a small socket in a small place, try either a 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet.
Second will see a square piece on the head of the ratchet. You take the socket, and match the two squares together.
(Note: On some ratchets, you may simply be able to push the socket on, while others, there may be a small circle on the opposite side of the socket wrench. You have to push this in, while pushing the socket onto the square, and, when the socket is in place, release the circle. This attaches the socket to the socket wrench safely, so that it does not come loose while in use).
Now, if you are tightening the bolt/nut, you push the lever on the back of the head of the socket wrench to the LEFT. If you are loosening, you push the lever to the RIGHT. (Remember it like ON/OFF. On [Left], Off [Right]).
After setting the socket wrench, you place the socket on the nut/bolt, you turn the socket wrench to the left if tightening, and right if loosening. (When you turn it, you should hear a clicking noise. Then when you begin to tighten/loosen it, it will stop clicking).
Hope this helps!
When I use it I first unroll a length of it to the end of the work, curved side up. Then with it held straight I tape the first end with Tuck (red) tape and after that use an electric stapler to staple every 2 feet about two inches from each outer edge along the length, then cut about an inch from end and tape it again.

Seller Delta WILL be held liable if the product is designed and packaged without adequate warnings against "expectable misuse" of the product. Climbing on a table saw is an obvious misuse which Delta should have warned against. Having failed to adequately warn of a known hazard, it may have to settle with the moron who misused it.
A ball-peen hammer is an upholsterers tool, and basically dates from before air-nailers which they all seem to use nowadays. It has one round flat head for striking regular nails and one narrow flat head ,the 'peen' -this is intended to hit thin nails that you are holding straight, without trapping or hitting your fingers.
