They are overrated IMO, a long screwdriver bit at an angle and a short hand held screwdriver will cover most situations. Much better is the the shockwave right angle attachment.

Country/bluegrass particularly in the South is the default choice of music for the southern population, simple as that. What we see as dodgy they see as macho.

Has anybody tried one of these. They are a lot cheaper than the ME606, but are they as good. Having used cheap electric brad nailers, am looking for something that will actually bury the brad/pin. Akto

Makita do a good range of hss bits in fractions of a mm, their cobalt set is also vfm.

I was thinking of Rustin's Danish Oil mixed with Rustin's Wood Dye to add the right oak colour to match the existing: both solvent based - would they mix OK?

For clarification I want a finish that changes the colour of the bare wood but doesn't penetrate it.

I don't want to change the colour, was using stain in a generic sense of applying a finish, maybe it's varnish/wax I need. Just a do this/do that summary. Looking for quality brands as well. Will use oil based for longevity UK based.

Advice would be gratefully received on which good quality stain to use on an oak bannister rail which has been sanded down to the bare wood. The existing finish is a light oak. Said bannister is original from a 1930's house. Thank you.
