The center punch hack is ingenious. Thanks a bunch for sharing. for anyone searching - tiny 'clutch head one way screws' - are used on the older Cooler Master Seidon 120 AIO. It occurred to me that if you had a spot welder you might also be able to weld something to grip and turn the screw head.

Thanks mate. Years ago there was an outbreak of car number plate theft in Sydney, so I bought some of these to make it harder for the thief. Now I'm selling the car and I want to keep the plates. Wish me luck. 😉

Thank you so much. New house and one of the window openers was busted. I bought a replacement and then realised these screws had been used. Lifesaver.

@geoffding Год назад

Thanks Bill. This saved me several hours of intense frustration removing 30 of the bloody things from locks on the windows of a house I've just moved into. The hacksaw method seemed easiest but the screws were recessed and I was feeling lazy so I modified your method by using a Dremel rotary grinding disc to make a screwdriver slot in the screw. would not have thought of this without your inspiration. Thanks again.

Going to the hardware store tomorrow morning for a rotary tool. I hate these devil screws

@miketruong0808 4 года назад

Thanks Bill. I’ve got them on my awning winders and removing the broken ones been absolute pain because of these screws. Your tips have been very helpful. Thanks!

@ej5364 Год назад

Extra credit: use a Dremel with a cutting wheel attachment to cut a slot (like when using the hacksaw) for a flat-head screwdriver. It also works for stripped screw heads! Thanks for the video!

@charlesdyal1956 4 года назад

The center punch idea is genius! Worked a lot easier than I thought. Thanks!

@hrmyler204 5 месяцев назад

The fact that you showed five different ways to get these out shows that one-way screws are an excellent invention. No, they do not completely stop thieves (they watch RU-vid too) but they slow them down significantly. That said, this is the BEST video on the issue, kudos!

@LilA-zl6tf Год назад

Had never even heard of this center punch thing.... But it saved my day after I learned about it here. Thanks.

@csdiwakardixit 29 дней назад

I ended up in same situation, luckily i have small hand held drinder through which i was able to make a groove which was enough for screw driver to unscrew. Your video helped me to get the idea of what one way screws are.

@timdearborn7192 3 года назад

You saved me a ton of time. I had to remove 6 of these unmentionable fasteners. WD-40 and using a chisel and hammer to tap counter-clockwise did it for me.

@encryptedauto 6 месяцев назад

This video was incredibly helpful. I genuinely appreciate the fact that you gave multiple options - all of which seem legitimate - as going into a job with only one way to do it is always a recipe for frustration. Thank you.

@atteroljones6936 2 года назад

Just today, JUST TODAY, I unwittingly bought a four pack of these screws (#8-32x1") at The Home Depot. Thank goodness for this video.

@amycatalino3076 2 года назад

Thank you for posting! And for giving various methods. Had an old storm door I needed to replace that was screwed on with these one way screws - took some time but ultimately was a success!

@KSAalto Год назад

You saved our front door! Thank you! Couldn’t get the deadbolt out to rekey it and this worked so well! Thanks for your knowledge and time!

@michaelburnham7173 2 года назад

I never heard of these and bought new license plate bolts, which were these, and bought multiple tools claiming to take these bolts out and none of them worked. Will use these methods. Thank you

So grateful Bill. We bought a house and were left without keys to French door patio bolts. With one way screws. I took it really slowly and used your fork trick. Brilliant, Cheers mate.

living in Christchurch NZ I NEED these things or else I'll keep getting my plates stolen. Very useful video tho, making sure I can remove them before I install them on my car

@michaelhansen7562 Месяц назад

Used the Dremel wheel down the center instead of hacksaw + Chisel today. Thanks! Saved me a ton of time.

@chrisburns6289 2 года назад

The chisel did the trick - thank for making the video.

@DaveUssell 3 года назад

I haven't read all the comments so some of this may be duplicated. Your video is pretty comprehensive so i'll only mention things you didn't. a) there are tools specifically designed to remove these. b) when you get to the point of drilling, left hand drill bits can sometimes take it out even before you use the easy out and especially if you've used penetrating oil. c) If you have enough head exposure, clamping the head with a chuck on a drill in reverse does a great job.

@sherripeterson6788 7 месяцев назад

Thank you I was feeling scared as I put in a😮 screw, not realizing what it was, into an expensive deadbolt which caught on 1 side only. Now I'm off to try the fork and chisel technique. Fingers crossed

@raffir7270 9 месяцев назад

@riorococo7267 2 года назад

Thank you so freakin much! I needed to replace a 30+ yr old deadbolt screwed on with these damn things and had no idea how to get them out. Then I found your vid. I tried the center punch and IT WORKED! Had the deadbolt off in 30 min (with a couple bloody knuckles from my hand slipping). Would never had thought of that in a million years. Thank you ❤️

@HIblue187 3 года назад

Great ideas for removing the one-way screws. I would suggest you use a metal chisel for removal instead of ruining a wood chisel. But, to each his own. Keep up the good work!!!

@randomstuff5956 2 года назад

Worked, thanks! The screws that were on my computer were previously 'security screws' which are intentionally made one-way so that you couldn't take it apart for some reason. Really weird, already ordered the replacement normal screws.

@kocnn 5 лет назад

This is great! The chisel worked for me.

Some good ideas. Someone decided to use these to lock up the breakers in every subpanel we have in a multi family building. A 3-minute job turned into 30 minutes.

I had to remove these screws once in a Goodwill bathroom job, and I was able to just use a regular slotted (flathead) screwdriver. There's a trick. Slow and good pressure.

@maxheadroom4951 2 года назад

Great suggestions. Hopefully will work for me

@davidsavageau1815 Год назад

Got it! I appreciate the rapid-fire patter.

@notjakl5121 3 года назад

Hey nice tips. But some of those are easily twisted. So grab a pair of vice grips for half of these and youll be good. The problem comes when it’s pretty tight in which case a dremel or hacksaw to make a flat head slot to turn works great. All of these are situational, so the more tools the better :) you know what you’re doing

Now I have to take plate off to reinstall the mounting bracket to the bumper!! Again thanks will update with what I did to back the screws off.

These are actually the greatest invention ever if used in the proper application. They are designed as tamper proof for areas that someone might steal something or vandalize. They are not for household use and if you have these in your home fire who ever installed them
