I assume you mean something like a Dremel high speed rotary tool with various bits. Here are some general guidelines....
You can divide the bits into three groups - cutting, grinding, and polishing.
The cutting tools will have the largest (relatively) teeth, some look like little gears. These are suitable for fairly soft materials like wood and plastic, and maybe drywall. They are useful for carving.
The grinding tools are either small stones (these are very hard, not rubber) or they have a fine coating of diamonds glued to a metal surface. Both are used for grinding hard stuff like metal, ceramics or glass. The diamond coated ones can grind very hard materials. The stone ones can wear down, but remain usable. Grinding is handy for sharpening and for removing small amounts of metal to shape it - but this is a pretty slow process. You can also etch glass by grinding it, but be sure to keep a little water on the glass or the local heating of the glass will break it.
The polishing tools are hard rubber or fabric or little wire brushes. These are good for polishing things, mostly metal. I find the little wire brush bits very useful for cleaning up corroded contacts in flashlights and other battery-operated devices.
Be sure to wear safety glasses with any of these bits, but especially the wire brushes as they tend to throw out those little wires!
Let me know if you would like any more help. Thanks for using Fixya, and good luck.

I bought a new jack hammer. After using it for a few hours grease started to come out where the bit is. Is this normal

No thats not normal real JACK HAMMERS on AIR ??? but its not Milwaukee not Bosch not Dewalt but a China brand? if you are have a real jack hammer then its not the right collum because its placed under Hammer drills? and you have also not possible speaking about maybe a little weight rotary hammer ? because ONLY real demolition and jackhammers are very specially made for the long lasting jobs !!! but the weight and power is very important by use the right tool for the right job the most rotary hammers ( exept brands like Hilti and Duss) are not made for long lasting jobs and are made for only working for a short time. its also makes the great price difference between a hammerdrill a rotary hammer a real demolition or a real jackhammer is much higher price. The tools on air Atlas Copco or Ingersoll for the hard and heavy jobs
If you have bought your tool by a hardware store and it is a real jack hammer go immediately back its possible that you are wrong informed by the seller or the budget was the fact. about the price for the tool maybe you have a real jackhammer but have choose a to little model size machine to do the job or its a budget brand online bought China machine. Its a simple question but a hard answer, difficult questions do not exist but difficult answers sometimes.
Regard and luck by warranty and a very small change maybe it is just only a factory flaw.

Replacing air cond. belt on 1999silverado z71

You should have one belt that drives all of the accessories.
There should be an idler pulley tensioner that keeps the belt tight.
You take a 1/2 inch breaker bar or belt tool to move the tensioner off and on the belt.

Wheel bearing replacement or repair?

Hello, sorry to tell you but you can't replace the wheel bearings. All the wheel bearings are sealed in a hub. You will need to replace the whole hub assembly. This hub assembly will fit either side left or right. The last one replaced was on 2005 Dodge Diesel 4X4 truck. I think the hub assembly was about $235. It quit a job to replace the hub assembly. You will need some tools for large bolts, 18" breaker bar, and maybe with cheater, large sockets, 1/2 drive will due, need some blue/red lock tight, cleaner to clean the threads on the bolts, and also most of these hub assembly are rusted to inter control arm hub. It is a very hard job to get this bearing hub assembly off, especially if it is rusted on. I used a torch on the Dodge finally after two day of working on it. It should have been 3 hrs job but I also had to replace upper and lower ball joints. Replacing the ball joints is another job in itself and needed special tools for this job.


If you don't have the tools for this job I wouldn't try it. It is a very hard job with the tools.

Maybe some of your friends have the tool to tackle this job, if not, then your local mechanic (good mechanic, not one that says he/she is a mechanic) I started when I was 8 years old in my father shop and now I'm 70 years old and this isn't my profession, I'm electrical engineer.



If you going to have some shops do this job. Get three or four estimate for the job and if they haven't done a hub replacement job. Then have a mechanic that has done job, they will know what it takes.

They will probably give a better job and the cost will fall within the estimated range for repair.

Buddy, I wish you lot of luck in this endeavor. GB...stewbison

The entire buckle part of my seatbelt broke on the passenger front side of my VW golf, 2000. Any advice how/where I can go to fix this?

a junk yard, is the cheapest, eBay or of course the dealer. You will need a Torx don't know the size off hand but they can be bought at a home improvement or auto parts store as a set, once you have the proper tool it is like a 5 minute job if that, Tim
