Chester Greenwood of Maine received a patent for earmuffs on this day in 1887. The product came in handy during long New England winters. They're also good to place over your ears if you're ever around anyone who drives in a screw with an electric drill -- too far and too hard -- and chews up the head. What's even worse is having to hear them swear if they have to take the screw out. Slots become shot and language gets hot. Here's tool news you can use to easily remove damaged screws. All you do is pop in an "x-out" bit, set your variable drill to reverse and push down as it turns slowly. It "reverse-bites" into the damaged head and backs it out easily. It works on slotted and Phillips and specialty stuff like Torx, Hex and tamper-resistant fasteners, too. A set in three sizes sells for about $30. Get a set and put away your earmuffs! And that's the On The House tip for today.
