Pookie Buster?

[Jeff]

The name Pookie Buster caught my attention. I didn't know 'pookie' was a thing.

"Patented broach cutter removes mastic, caulking, tape or any other type of “pookie” that is covering the hex head of a screw"

Interesting. Not an application I have come across, but seems like a good think for a hvac tech.

Now they need to make versions for Phillips, torx, Robertson, and slotted. It's bad when hex heads are covered with pookie, but worse when the other types of screw heads are filled with pookie.

I remember when they released that tool. Looked promising, but never got one. Applying pookie is kind of therapeutic, but busting it *****! Looks like I'll be taking a dremel to a nutsetter and try to make one for the heck of it.

Surely there is a better term for whatever this is referring to than that.

Pookie (slang)
· 1. A ******.
· 2. A character played by Chris Rock in New Jack City.
· 3. A term of endearment and affection. It is a name akin to "lovebug", "cuddlemuffin", "babe", "honey", "lover", etc. "I love you, Pookie."
· 4. In drugs related chat, a "pookie" is a pipe used to smoke drugs such as methamphetamine and crack cocaine. A "pookie" may take many elaborate and decorative forms, but is basically a glass tube with a bulb at the end that has an opening on top.
· 5. The name that Garfield the fat cat gave to his loyal companion teddy bear.
· 6. Electrical lingo definition for Pookie: Lubricating compound used to reduce tension between cable insulation and the conduit during the pulling process.
· 7. A person who is lame; not cool

Do I have this right?
The tool cuts a circular groove around the screw head that has 5 coats of paint covering the slot or hex and then once you have a slot around the head you attack the head of the screw with Vice grip pliers or a similar tool.
??

I guess the cutter wouldn’t cut through sheet metal.

I hate duct seal,atleast ul181 can be peeled off of joints to work on things.

Actually, it looks to be a nut driver bit with a magnet & teeth that can remove hex fasteners that have been covered over with paint or silicone or... all in one step.

Something like this could be handy for drywall screws. Find them with a magnet and take them out with something like this.

I'm not seeing it.

I find that the mud in the head of a drywall screw comes out pretty easily

It appears to have a hex inside, so you are going to turn it down left hand rotation expecting it to engage with only???? depth of head into socket??

I was wondering that myself. As the tool is spinning and cutting its way through duct sealant or whatever, how can a guy expect it to grab the hex head of a screw and turn it loose?

I think the real use is to bust some pookie out of your wallet.

It has a lot of good reviews, many saying it works best pushing down hard and turning real slow, which makes sense. If you just send it it'll probably never grab and instead strip the hell out of it.

Per my Dad, pookie was a specific type of marine sealant that was used aboard ship to waterproof electronics boxes. It was also unofficially used to reinforce tool handles and custom mold handgun grips. Whenever he ran into a screw that was beyond the range of a normal screwdriver, he would dispatch whichever of us kids was closest to "go get my pookie handled screwdriver" to let said fastener know he was serious.

I heard it referred to as pookie when I lived in Dallas and that was from 1995 to 1998 and have occasionally used the term ever since.

Worked at a commercial AC company during summers between school years. My job was follow behind the guys snapping/installing sheetmetal ductwork and apply seam sealer to every joint. No one called it seam sealer, they all called it pookie.

 

[scooby074]

Malco has one too.

Now, we know the rest of the story.
Thanks jskeen.
