Used to replace the hinge pin on my car door. This is long enough not to touch other metal parts. I usually use carbide bits to cut off hard-to-remove parts of the car and relieve the metal. My pitman's hand got stuck, so I sanded the metal down until it was next to the teeth. Walked away easily after that. Much safer than using an acetylene oxy-torch which is only good for metal parts, not parts surrounded by rubber. Should be in every tool box next to your drills.
