I got one stuck. just held the disk in the vice used a punch and hammer in the hole and off it came
My method doesn't seem popular but it's not destructive unlike some methods mentioned and it's 100% effective...
Using a punch to turn them works if they're not too tight but does tend to chew the holes up which isn't great and eventually makes the tool slip in normal use.
All good advice, I prefer to keep the threads in good condition and totally dry of any lubricants, to prevent it attracting grinding particles and making the nut jamb even worse, Only recommendation as regards lubrication would be dry graphite
.
I've never replaced a lock nut. Never had a replacement to hand when I may have wanted one nor have I noticed them advertised.
I'm sure they're available but when working somewhere with a very limited choice of
suppliers you sometimes have to preserve and make do with what you have.
I keep my sds drill oiled in the chuck I also put a rubber sleeve over the chuck to deflect crap getting in when overhead drilling as I do with any drill
Show n tell?[/QUOTE I just make some rubber washers up larger than the chuck and drill the center out to slide tightly over the drill shank it deflects the crap off and saves it going in to the chuck
I use one of these when I'm cutting holes in ceilings for downlighters with hole saw https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Produc...=finalurl_v2&gclid=CMvUzZGngM0CFY4V0wodNcsMBQyou used to be able to by something similar if i remeber and it also caught the dust
I use the same, it lives in the box that contains my collection of holesaws so I never forget to use it. Brilliant bit of kit.they also stop u getting asbestosis from the artex when cutting ceilings , even still I wear a dust mask
