ShopTalk: Removing Ferrules

[Mark Fields]

Ok, I know this ought to be pretty simple,. but I'm looking for a better 
way of removing ferrules.  I have been using a razor knife to just cut 
them off, but a couple of weeks ago my knife slipped and I took a big 
chunk of paint out of a Taylor Made 580 driver I was going to reshaft 
for a friend of mine.  Luckily, he hits the club so much better now that 
he doesn't mind quite so much.  But I do, so how do you guys do it so 
that you know you're not going to do the same thing?  This isn't the 
kind of mistake I want to repeat.

Thanx,
Mark
