Why oh why do the people who lived in your house before you do they use the cheapest screws in the universe? I've spent hours ( in total) getting them out. That's going to help . Cheers!
With the tools that I had a available this was my only option. I broke the drill bit but I manage to drill into the screw enough to use the star bit. It worked!!! Thanks, @tipcentric!!
I have to try this. I have a small stripped kitchen knob screw that needs to be removed immediately. I wasn't sure how to do it other than buy a stripped removal tool which would take another 2 weeks to deliver. That's to long. Thank you MountainAngel
@@tipcentric it took me a few tries since I’m not really sure what I’m doing it’s now a learning experience, but at least now I have this method to use again thanks to you!!
Would somebody please explain this process, step by step for me? Yes, I'm a girl that needs to take out 4 small rusted in screws so I can fix (re-glue) a torn speaker cone.
My elderly mum just had some bloke replace some door handles today. On closer inspection a lot of the screws he put in have the screw head absolutely stripped/destroyed. It looks like he actually drilled out the screw heads! That's not good is it? Seems like a right bodge job to me. Any replies would be appreciated cos I hate seeing my mum ripped off.
There’s a ton of ways to remove stripped screws. Sometimes you can get them out with a rubber band, other times you need a bit more brute force like in this video. You can also buy reverse thread spiral bits to get them out, but the good ones cost a fair bit. I’d try the rubber band method first, failing that, I’d try this method. Then replace with new screws, and either drive them by hand, or make sure your clutch on your drill is set to a low setting to prevent stripping 👍
