Dale asked: "What I want to know is how long does it take you to extract an old set of shanks & replace new? " First off, I don't dink around "extracting" old hammer shanks. I cut them off flush to the top of the butts and BORE them out. This way, I get a consistant butt depth, (not a thing that exists by "extracting".), a consistant bore angle/hole. Takes about 2 hours total. K?<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
