What drill bits to use on cast iron?

I'm no expert, but broke off 1 old brass bolt flush in the cast iron flange of a toilet drain- I then used a metal bit to drill holes for the toilet riser/extender thing to attach to. This all stemmed from a remodel and having mounting bolts too short for the new bowl. The mason bit i tried didn't work as well as the metal bit. I started out small and worked my way up in size.

What is a chisel made out of?

Handles are made of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and of many kinds of wood. The cheaper grades of file handles are made of soft wood. Chisel handles should always be made of hard wood. Apple wood is often used for firmer chisel handles. Socket chisel handles for heavy work are often made from hickory.

ANS 2 -Many of my favorite wood chisels have handles made from 'easy to grip' rubberised composite materials. Most of these have the tang of the steel carried right through to the end of the grip. This enables the user to hammer if he really needs to ( on the odd occasion I do that, I always use a 'dead-blow' hammer.)

Why shouldn't you use a screwdriver to remove a heat sink?

Assuming the heat sink is on tight enough that you would even consider prying it off with a screwdriver, prying would exert excess stress on the CPU die, and cause it to crack.
Typically, a flat-head screwdriver is too wide to safely remove a heatsink from the CPU and therefore the CPU could become scratched or damaged.

What is combination wrench used for?

The function of a wrench depends on what type of wrench it is. In general, small flat wrenches have two 'flats' that are sized to particular bolt or nut sizes.These wrenches are used to loosen or tighten nuts onto bolts. The crescent wrench is able to be adjusted to many sizes of nuts and are handy to have in a tight corner when you don't know the size. Ratchet wrenches are used to do up or loosen nuts quickly where movement may be restricted and you have to re-seat an ordinary wrench after each partial turn. Box wrenches have round heads, able to completely encompass the nut and are very useful where nuts are rusted or otherwise extremely tight. Pipe wrenches are usually larger jawed wrenches used to grip large pipe nuts and pipes themselves in plumbing work.

What is the best cordless screwdriver on the market?

Makita, DeWalt, and a few others.

The longest lasting power tools are the Milwaukee brand. They invented the Sawzall and other tools for tradespeople.

All depends on the job and the user, professional tools last the longest under tough use, but are overkill for home users. Rigid (home depot) have lifetime warrenty if you mail in your slip with in 30 days, hitachi has 7 years, and most others have 3 year. Hitachi is the cheapest professional tool, but has less torque (umph!) than the dewalt, bosch, and Milwaukee. Dewalt offers the highest voltage drill 36volt, and Milwaukee makes a 28 volt. Bosch has a quicker charge (15 minutes,) and makita has a ton of fans from older tools that lasted. For the most part if you see the brand in every store, there's a good reason for it, and you really do get what you pay for! I have used dewalt for years, and haven't had a bad tool yet, but its all about getting the right tool for the job.
