4:29 HOLY SNIKES BATMAN! Didn’t know could pickup an X-lock mandrel (EZ-Lock suppose called, but It’s the X-Lock, lol)for my Dremel……WHAAAAAAAAAAAT😱🤯🤯🤯🤯 That’s awesome, and THX for “educating” me. Now, next time I’m out at Depot (probably 2mro picking up something, lol) I’ll be buying that accessory (less gotta order online😉). But that’s just awesome 👍🏻👍🏻

Glad I could be of help my friend! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽 thank you for watching!

@allanwang5394 Год назад

Highly appreciate! You save my life about pulling off a screw without head from cabinet handle. Your way is fantastic!

@geoffphil 2 года назад

What about a screw broken BELOW the wood's surface?

@shoyrushoyru 2 года назад

Same this is my problem. Screw head broke off leaving only the threads and shaft below the wood surface. There’s nothing to grab with pliers as you have to look into the screw hole to see a glint of metal

@uncannyvalley2350 2 года назад

Screw a hole next to it and punch it out

@TomCee53 2 года назад

It depends on your required results. If you just want to get the top board off and don’t care about damage, I’d drill one or more small holes next to the screws and pry the board off. If you need minimal damage or to reuse the board, I’ve had some luck with drilling out the screw itself. You may need to start with a very small bit to prevent wandering,and be prepared to fill the hole with toothpick, splinter, or glue to hold the new screw.

@DorkPrince 2 года назад

@@TomCee53 and if drilling it out anyway, no harm in using a left-hand bit. You might get lucky, the bit could bite and act as an extractor. That's why I'm watching these videos to begin with. I'm debating buying extractors or left hand drill bits but all the videos show stupid "can't you figure this out on your own" scenarios like these here where obviously you could just use pliers. And if you can't? Bah, just cut it off and grind it down! Problem solved! RIGHT??? That screw wasn't HOLDING ANYTHING that's got to stay there! And you can't always just replace the wood or move the mounted object! My scenario is that a friend's pet-and-baby gate is mounted in a doorway of sorts along a half-height wall that separates their kitchen from the family room. They always kind of slammed the gate closed, and over the years, one of the screws on the bottom hinge broke about a quarter to a half inch below the surface of the wall. Now the gate hangs wrong and scrapes the floor. Problem is, they still need the gate for the pets and they don't want to reposition it because they don't want a bunch of holes in the wall and it's currently centered on the bulkhead. If I can't use an extractor there, there's no point in buying a set. I might opt instead for a left hand bit set. Then again, what the hell, they're not exactly expensive. Maybe I'll get both?

@user-ym9dz5uy2v Год назад

Have to drill the shiz out of it until it doesn't exist. Only way I've seen otherwise just leave it in and work around it lol

@rpeberle Год назад

OMG - thank you! I was finally able to fix something that has been broken for years as I couldn't figure out how to get the broken screw out. The drill trick worked like a charm.

@SpikeRazorshards 2 года назад

Thanks, Buddy. Had a screw sticking out about a quarter inch from hardwood, no head. The locking Vice grips method saved me. It’s all about getting it as tight as possible while still closing, then slowly and patiently rotating it out.

@markchen9505 Год назад

I was replacing two old deck board today and could not remove some rusty half broken screws. After seeing this video, I tried the vise grip method and it worked very well! Thank you!

@vanessa1985green Год назад

I used the broken screw head method #1 with the drill on the raised stripped screw head and it worked. Thanks a million.

@SergioChongLoo Год назад

Your tip of using the drill to just "clamp" onto the remaining portion of a screw with a broken head saved me!! I had 2 broken head screws with less than 2mm sticking out of the surface but the drill just did it... thanks!

I’m glad I could be of help Sergio! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊

Thank you so much you are a lifesaver. I had a broken screw stuck in a guitar in your method of using the chuck on the drill and reverse got it out. Thank you so much!

@mardan1974 Год назад

I was about to buy a set of screw extractor. i used your method with the drill to pull a screw from dry wall and it worked great. Thank you!

@iyeshaindigo 4 месяца назад

The drill method for broken head worked. So relieved. I brought three different stripped screw removers sets(nothing). When everything i needed I already had. Lesson learned, remedy stored for life and video saved 😅. Thank a mil !

@jijisan01 Год назад

Good tips for screws. For nails, I find a Japanese style nail puller + hammer works well, even if it’s missing the head. I use a scrap piece of wood to protect the finished piece in the same way as you.

@vicany Год назад

Exactly what I was looking for, specifically when the head is missing from the screw. Thanks from Sverige ✌️

@Forged_Garage 2 года назад

Nice one bro! I used the extractors and i ended up returning them… because they didn’t work… i ended up just hammering a close wrench and i got out the bolt, and i love the ez lock dremel it makes life lot easier.

@FixThisHouse 2 года назад

Wow I never thought of a close wrench! I’ll try that next time! Thanks for sharing bro!👍🏽😊

I didn't explore the worse problem of all, that's when you have a stripped head with the thread completely immersed into the wood.

@jacobhill4632 23 дня назад

Finally, thank you man! Went to Lowe’s and the extractor was ass and broke the head off and your methods worked

@lorensaunders6034 Год назад

The one where you use the drill to grip the headless screw! Yes! It worked! Great idea!

@tenitajacobs6338 Месяц назад

Omg thanks so much. I had a cabinet screw that was hella stripped. And the flat head wasn't catching right to remove it and the plies didn't have any room to grip on. But when i drilled it out and used tge star bit, it was getting removed finally!!

@elijahrook4183 Год назад

Had a head come off of a screw in a metal dresser frame. Tightening the drill around the rest of the screw didn’t work at first. So I kept re tightening the drill to the screw, small short bursts in reverse and she came out. Thanks for the video man.

@Roy-ij1wq Год назад

If you hand tighten the chuck as tight as you can and then back it off one click it will prevent the chuck from loosening.

@dougb8207 2 года назад

Good show; I've been using Vise Grips for years. I ran into a problem on a door though; the hinge screws broke off below the surface and I couldn't get a bit to stay on the screw. I tried a bit that drills around the screw, but couldn't get that to work either. I never did get those out, might have to just run another screw in along side them.

@goodtimes12342 Год назад

I'm dealing with this very same issue right now. The screws that come with doors are absolute shit. Shearing the screw heads off below the surface is one of the most common scenarios... this video is incomplete without addressing that.

@darkflux 3 месяца назад

regarding the star bit screw removal, if you use a blowtorch to heat (ONLY) the screw up, you can jam pretty much ANY bit into it while it is still hot, let it cool off, then slowly remove it, as it will warp around the bit and dry to the new shape. you also don't need to reverse the drill with the nail removal. in fact, it will work better if you keep it going forwards, since there is no threads like screws have. lastly, you don't need a vice grip to remove nails, since i know fewer people have those. you can just use "channel lock" pliers (or any adjustable wrench with a larger head like that), and rock it on it's bulge to pry the nail out. i did that when i was tearing out old lath and plaster ceiling in my basement, and had a ton of nails in the ceiling left. they came out in literally seconds with minimal effort.

I couldn't find any rubber bands or duct tape so used plumber PTFE tape , worked a treat on a stripped screw with a hand screwdriver

@frazern.79 Год назад

Try wrapping an elastic band around the threaded screw or nail then use drill in reverse to remove, works for me

@lexbeltran1354 9 месяцев назад

I'll try it. I have a stripped screw on the back of my laptop.

@franknilson180 2 года назад

I sometimes experienced problems with removing rusted broken off nails from pallets. You cannot grip it as it is inside the wood. You cannot drill it as it is too thin. No tools work. This makes life difficult especially when you want to plane these planks and you don't want to damage the planer.

Can you add options for the round head screw? I have a stripped screw in the shower door, but it is has a round head and using the dremel just made a bigger mess of the screw by creating a valley vs a slot to use a flat head screw driver on.

What if the the screw head is the part blocked? The screw broke in a pedestal table I have so half is in the bottom and top is blocked off by a metal plate that went up the center large pole screw the keeps the center pedestal to the floor base foot of table. How do I remove the screw basically if it’s up side down broken off?

Diagnosed pliars/cutters. Get a bite on a nail and roll it to the side. Works well when the nail is very short.

@tomaskozler4856 5 месяцев назад

highly appreciate most of the video though you may wanna mention that gripping it with your impact driver head you´re about to strip it sooner or later, more like sooner if not experienced and sensitive with that... the part I don´t appreciate however was the nail removing part. vice grip? sure it works but this is the most basic nail pulling tool (hammer, crowbar or pliers) situation, what in heaven is the vice grip doing there? :-)) that is a no brainer, we all want to see how you pull out nails all the way in, not halfway out
