Thanks Craig and Larry,
So some paraffin candle on the thread should do it 🙂 Haven’t got any lithium grease at home.
I haven’t yet received that brace, hopefully coming tomorrow, but probable next week, so I don’t know about those oil holes, the cheaper version I had, didn’t have those, just an open ball bearing on top handle. I had to return that one (actually they just reimbursed the price for that better brace, no returning) due to socket threads starting to peel off and problems on bits slipping from socket. And after tightening socket so that bits stay in, I had to use hot/cold packs to get the socket threads to open again…
Hoping this brace works better. At least it doesn’t seem to have same type of chrome/whatever plating in it.
