---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Joe, A tool you already have is a handy rubber-nut tool. It's the shank cleaner, with the adjustable nut. Take of the nut, spread the tangs as you see fit (to fit)(have a fit)(uh...stop!), chuck it up in your variable-speed drill, and have at it. Common sense about holding the wire with your other hand and some pinchers of some sort, etc.etc. Try it sometime, it's a notch or two above removing bridle tapes with fire (hush-up, Conrad).
