Workshop Tip - Don't Throw Stuff Away! - Part Two

Great idea! Plus, besides air guns there are several other uses for CO2 cartridges. (They're just not as fun.)

I've been looking for a needle file handle I could use with multiple files similar to what I have for my full-size ones. Yeah, having a few handles of your design in my file drawer for the (typically) knurled, round tangs would be quite useful--safer, for sure. Trouble is, having one on each file (I'd probably use JB Weld or the likes), like you say, would take up a lot of space.

Can you think of making a hole in a cartridge that's flexible enough for easy reuse? Do you think a tiny hose clamp on a split (using a Dremel tool, or...) nozzle will work? How about tapping a small hole in the nozzle for a setscrew or maybe a small thumbscrew?
