[_paralyzed_]

I've used many extractors, but maybe not the particular brand you have? Extractors have always been hit or miss for me, and dremels have always worked.

I should say though I'm a basher and never mind hitting a chassis or whatever with the dremel. If your trying to keep stuff looking new extractors are the first thing to try.

Funnest way I've found to take out trees is to drive over 'em. I used to love finding patches of young willows in the river bottoms and making a trail through them.
