    Wood or fiberglass handles???

    What is your opinion on Wood versus Fiberglass handles on hammers, axes, sledgehammers, etc? For some reason I like the look and feel of wood handles better, but they don't seem to last as long as fiberglass handles especially when you miss what you want to hit.

    What happens if you reuse cylinder head bolts?

    On newer (GM) vehicles, you are suppose to use new head bolts every time you remove the cylinder heads. I understand they are suppose to stretch, but why can't you reuse them? If they stretch past their elastic limit (or whatever it is called) wouldn't they be no good even when new?

    Do all oils lubricate?

    I wasn't sure where to post this question. I was wondering if all oils lubricate, or reduce the amount of friction between two parts.
