As an absolute dumb dumb who has stripped a nail SEVERAL times, I've always found the rubberband hack to work! See, the key ingredient that you need to get it to work that you guys were missing is _desperation_
@@DestroyAllLinesOne usually it's becauase I'm using the wrong size screw driver. It doesn't fit so it slips a lot and slowly wears down the metal that is supposed to catch
Could put some of the packets in the resin kinda like a Peter Brown dip it episode. Or a funky pot like Nick Zammeti. Those are the only other 2 I watch that do interesting resin projects. I know other makers do resin, but I just haven't found em in my recommendations yet.
For the wood one: When you dent the wood, the mass you displace from the dent doesnt leave the block of wood, it just gets compressed. Since wood is porous and heat expands, the moisture fills all the pores and the heat causes them to rexpand, pushing the mass back into shape.
Conspiracy theory: the whole Raycon sponsorship was just an elaborate ruse to convince us that they really use the treadmill build on a regular basis and it's not just a coatrack right now.
@@EvanAndKatelyn lol! That's the best part about long hair, honestly. I used to do that when my hair was butt length. I also have frizzy/curly hair, which makes good friction to keep it up without a rubberband!
the soap thing is more for metal when you are cutting it to make jewelry, you rub the jewelers saw along soap (or more commonly beeswax) then cut into the metal. Makes it much smoother and helps make cleaner cuts. Not ideal for wood, just metal.
I use it for cutting and drilling wood - soap and wax both make it a lot easier but they were putting wayyyy too much. I especially use it when I am building guitars with bolt on necks where the hardwood can get really tough even with pilot holes to screw into.
Side note, that soap trick works well with needles. I used to place pins into a bar of soap. That way it would go through the fabric easier when embroidery or pinning pieces together to sew together.
the rubber band one is more geared towards screws you have partially stripped and are afraid of stripping further. Also the screws on wood is not a great test. Screws dont come out of wood as easy as they do household electronics, which is also what the rubber band trick is geared towards
Since I’m a short DIY’er too: I would like to see you guys make a step or something for Katelyn. I often see steps hid away in footboards in the kitchen which you can pull out. Or the huge apothecary cabinets with the pull out steps (we have them in the Netherlands, I don’t know how common they are everywhere else).

I've taken woodworking classes, and we've been taught that with dents like that shown with a steamer, you can iron them out. I've never had to do it myself, but I figure a steamer and an iron are pretty similar in function
I'm in training to be a cabinetmaker and I use the steam hack with any dents, though I do it differently. I put a wet paper towel on top of the wood and then run an iron (on low) over it until it's raised enough and then sand it smooth. I think it works because you're putting moisture into the wood, which makes it expand. Also with the soap hack, I've used that and it's really nice for soft metals like brass which are really easy to strip. I used paraffin wax though, which may have some slightly different results
@@fireroum I haven't tried it on a finished product so I wouldn't suggest it, there are several things that could go wrong. I just use it when I dent a project that I haven't put a finish on
i saw that this video is linked to a fundraiser, so thank you for believing in a movement while doing what you guys do best: creating *and* being entertaining 😊

Evan and Katelyn: “Can you save your fingers by hammering with pliers.” Me: “yeah... that’s how I hammer everything... so I don’t smash my fingers even with the smallest nails...”
Trying to purposely strip a screw. Evan: "I can't do it, I'm too good." Katelyn: Evil grin for the inevitability. "Here I can do it." Me: EVERY TIME I am dealing with SCREWS.
I think Katelyn was or maybe still is the editor as it would make sense why she says I will put the number here when she holds her hands up like a edge of picture frame.
According to my dad my grandpa and him used it use the rubber band trick. I've also used it before and it has worked. Also if your screw hole is striped you can put a toothpick in the hole to help.
For the magnet trick, there's already "magnetizer" that exist. It's a bit safer than having a magnet spinning :-P. You slide your bits or screwdriver into them and they get magnetized, once you no longer want them magnetized, you do the same in the demagnetizer section.
Or if you only have the magnet, you can just slide it along the screwdriver a few times; the magnetic effect won't be as strong but it lasts quite a while ^^

Katelyn: rub the tip... ...of the screwdriver Evan: lets say you're about to screw.... ...attach that right there. it's the pauses. i love that they love to pause at all the wrong times. perfectly.
Hey guys. I’ve always loved your channel but I’m finding extra comfort in it since I had an oral surgery yesterday.. I’m feeling very sick, tired and sore... thanks for helping numb the pain. 🥺
Project idea: How about making a small ledge right in front of the workbenches that raise Katelyn up a few inches, but Evan can still stand behind comfortably. Or if you need more than a few inches, high enough that Evans feet can get under but Katelyn can stand on so she doesn't feel so short. Just like a little cat walk.
"I don't know why you'd need to heat up a toothbrush." ...but a personal massager? Lol. I *love* you guys. When I don't feel like watching diy or crafty TH-camrs, I still watch you guys :) the actual content is good, but the entertainment is great.
Heated massagers are a thing. The warmth in addition to the vibration helps relax tense muscles. Not all personal massagers are for making muscles become tense.
Been doin #4 (the magnet thing) for a while. Fun fact, most every socket (3/8” drive or bigger) will fit a small button magnet in the square drive well for all your ratchet and socket needs. Oh, don’t use this in blind areas near metal. You’ll just end up losing a magnet.
This was another such a great video, thank you for trying out these life hacks! I was also blown away by the magnet, SO COOL! (Also congrats on getting on trending the other day too :D)
Kat Griffiths in my experience, the magnetic tip screwdrivers are always too weak. None I’ve used ever held a screw as well as it did for them. Plus, you can get the cheap screwdrivers and just slap a cheap magnet on it.
This was so much fun to watch 😂 "the secret to stripping, my friends..." Also Fs for that poor block of wood. He provided such great content. Such a helpful soul. He will be remembered always, in our hearts.
The earbud ad actually showed a pretty good use case. Though more for just a situation where you want wireless over wired. If you put a treadmill under your desk and want to have headphones on, wired headphones will zap you. Or rather you zap them? kinda ... Walking on a treadmill builds up static electricity in you. But you can't ground through the treadmill for various reasons. So with wired headphones, you'll get periodic zaps in your sensitive ears as they end up as the path of least resistance to your PC ... unless your PC somehow isn't grounded ... in which case I wish you luck. For those wondering, this didn't happen back when people used wired headphones for portable music players while walking because the music player isn't grounded. So the path of least resistance in both that case and in the case of using wireless headphones is usually through the air which happens equally across your whole body, or through your feet if you aren't wearing shoes with rubber soles.
I've definitely used the rubber band hack to take apart my earlier projects with stripped screws! It didn't work on all of them but it saved me so if you need to take out stripped screws, you definitely at try it
This video was something new and I applaud and appreciate the bravery to make this video ( because it might not do well ) but I actually found this very entertaining. Fun to watch and overall a great video to watch and Injoy , also I learned some new life hacks 👍🏻
My drill has two tiny levels on it... Like one for when you're drilling horizontally, and one for when you're drilling vertically... It's a secondhand drill I got for free from a relative when I moved out. I don't do anything special with it, I just have it for around the house (apartment actually) stuff like putting stuff up on my walls...
With the salt and glue one you can use a little bit of sand instead or put a bit of a nail in it and clip it off to hold both parts of the wood together
I’m a twenty something “adult” who can’t watch someone do the 🤯 action without doing it myself. Did it at 8:20, dropped the iPad on my face, and now have a nosebleed. Defo not an adult 😬
I just got my Raycons for Christmas and to be honest, way better than AirPods. They stay in your ear better, less expensive, and super comfortable! I’m wearing them while watching this video! (The audio quality is so much better than I thought it’d be)
After renovating a one-room building with a grumpy old retired construction manager (he was 87 at the time), I learned to stick longer screws into a jar of vaseline (instead of a dry soap bar). It really did help! And if it was worth it after his decades of experience, it's good enough for me! (I was the dumb young labor for the whole thing).
PSA: do not use the magnet hack or other magnetic screwdrivers and similar when you are working with circuit boards, laptop, other computer-y stuff. Data storage works by assigning polarity to a thing and magnets disturb that. This means that you can delete the data on a drive, be it solid state or 'conventional', by placing a magnet on it. Circuit boards can be very delicate also, and you can easily ruin the things by being clumsy with a magnet, also static electricity is not your friend when working with such things... which is really sucky, because having a magnet with those tiny screws would be so great ... This does not have to be a problem, but it can be and since tech can be stupid expensive, it would be really sad to ruin a thing because of that.
Well, yes and no... A lot of drives are magnetically shielded up to a point; otherwise, you’d wipe your hard drive just by carrying your laptop in and out of some buildings with magnetic security gates. Since the screws are generally very tiny, it wouldn’t require a strong magnetic field to hold onto the screw. In fact, there are some computer repair kits that come with magnetized screwdrivers and such. Is it safer to avoid magnets completely around computers? Sure! However, if you know what you’re doing and are careful, you’ll be fine. 🙂
10:31 - In this case, I think it's less the heat and more moisture, which causes the wood to swell up just a bit. I read a similar life-hack that said to just put a couple drops of water on the affected wood, and then when it's soaked up, sand it back to flush.
I don’t believe the original screwdriver was magnetic, but whether or not it was, this would still work because of science (😉 you can see an explanation in my other comment).
@@EvanAndKatelyn Evan is very similar to the LockPickingLawyer with his play on words watch any of LockPickingLawyer's April Fools videos to see it in action.
You should try making the most functional desk ever. Incorporate floating shelves/storage held by the desk, create drawers and compact storage areas on the side and under the desk. And maybe incorporate something that slides out of the way to reveal a quark board or chalk board? Make sure to include resin to! If you can incorporate a lightning and cable organization system then that’s brownie points!
With that steamer hack...you can also use a clothes iron and a wet cloth. Soak the cloth in water and place it on the wood where the dent is and then take your iron and go over the cloth+wood. It takes out dents pretty well and you wont need an actual steamer. I work in a cabinet factory and we do this all the time for damaged pieces. If the dent is deep enough it wont fully fix it but that's what using a wood crayon before you paint is for. Thanks for the video!
Pros trying to strip screws be like "???" My noob ass, having been forced to use only three (3) different screwdrivers for all sorts of DIY's lately: "My time to shine!!!" No but really, how to strip a screw: you try to screw it in tightly/out from a tight spot using _the wrong size/type_ of manual screwdriver. A flathead in a phillips works best. Put your whole bodyweight into that sucker and _twist_ your worst. Horrendous stripping guaranteed! xD
An alternative to the last one with the line, is to cut the scrap in half, with a good 90-degree crosscut, then hold the two pieces together side-by-side, but with their ends slightly offset from each other. This allows you to easily nestle your drillbit into the vertical inside corner between the end grain of one piece and the side grain of the other. Easier to use than sighting a line, because the bit can actually touch the two vertical surfaces.
With the soap on the screw its a carpenters trick my dad taught me, it is really really good for brass wood screws which have a habit of breaking, usually used with a pilot hole

Yeah, I'm surprised it didn't work for them. I've used to remove a license plate screw that was damaged and rusty.

Kat Griffiths in my experience, the magnetic tip screwdrivers are always too weak. None I’ve used ever held a screw as well as it did for them. Plus, you can get the cheap screwdrivers and just slap a cheap magnet on it.
I laughed so hard at their surprise when the magnet worked! I've been doing that for ages!
3:45 NAILED IT!
This was so much fun to watch 😂 "the secret to stripping, my friends..."
Also Fs for that poor block of wood.
He provided such great content. Such a helpful soul. He will be remembered always, in our hearts.
RIP wood
Katelyn’s little snicker when she said: can you lube a screw with soap? XD
Katelyn: "How come more people don't do this?"
Me:
Always love a good life hack takedown video.
The earbud ad actually showed a pretty good use case. Though more for just a situation where you want wireless over wired. If you put a treadmill under your desk and want to have headphones on, wired headphones will zap you. Or rather you zap them? kinda ... Walking on a treadmill builds up static electricity in you. But you can't ground through the treadmill for various reasons. So with wired headphones, you'll get periodic zaps in your sensitive ears as they end up as the path of least resistance to your PC ... unless your PC somehow isn't grounded ... in which case I wish you luck.
For those wondering, this didn't happen back when people used wired headphones for portable music players while walking because the music player isn't grounded. So the path of least resistance in both that case and in the case of using wireless headphones is usually through the air which happens equally across your whole body, or through your feet if you aren't wearing shoes with rubber soles.
When Evan smacks the salt, I 100% thought she was going to say "My salt! I've been A-salt-ed."
Evan and katelyn is the *legit* life hack channel
Exactly what we all need
Hmmm Evan should make a video regarding the “secrets of stripping”, since he’s such an expert 🤔
😏 -E
Or make it into a shirt

Rubber only works 95% of the time

I've definitely used the rubber band hack to take apart my earlier projects with stripped screws! It didn't work on all of them but it saved me so if you need to take out stripped screws, you definitely at try it
"The secret to stripping, my friends. I know I've been asked this multiple times"
excuse me what has Evan been doing?
Raycon : imma support their whole career
Same with Lowe’s lol
This video was something new and I applaud and appreciate the bravery to make this video ( because it might not do well ) but I actually found this very entertaining. Fun to watch and overall a great video to watch and Injoy , also I learned some new life hacks 👍🏻
thank you! it was honestly super fun to try a new format
My drill has two tiny levels on it... Like one for when you're drilling horizontally, and one for when you're drilling vertically... It's a secondhand drill I got for free from a relative when I moved out. I don't do anything special with it, I just have it for around the house (apartment actually) stuff like putting stuff up on my walls...
With the salt and glue one you can use a little bit of sand instead or put a bit of a nail in it and clip it off to hold both parts of the wood together
I’m a twenty something “adult” who can’t watch someone do the 🤯 action without doing it myself. Did it at 8:20, dropped the iPad on my face, and now have a nosebleed. Defo not an adult 😬
Lolololol
6:32
Katelyn: yeah but no one covers literally the entire project with clamps!
Bob "Clamp Champ" Clagett: am i a joke to you?
We will never be as much of a Clamp Champ as Bob!
I just got my Raycons for Christmas and to be honest, way better than AirPods. They stay in your ear better, less expensive, and super comfortable! I’m wearing them while watching this video! (The audio quality is so much better than I thought it’d be)
After renovating a one-room building with a grumpy old retired construction manager (he was 87 at the time), I learned to stick longer screws into a jar of vaseline (instead of a dry soap bar). It really did help! And if it was worth it after his decades of experience, it's good enough for me! (I was the dumb young labor for the whole thing).
PSA: do not use the magnet hack or other magnetic screwdrivers and similar when you are working with circuit boards, laptop, other computer-y stuff. Data storage works by assigning polarity to a thing and magnets disturb that. This means that you can delete the data on a drive, be it solid state or 'conventional', by placing a magnet on it. Circuit boards can be very delicate also, and you can easily ruin the things by being clumsy with a magnet, also static electricity is not your friend when working with such things... which is really sucky, because having a magnet with those tiny screws would be so great ...
This does not have to be a problem, but it can be and since tech can be stupid expensive, it would be really sad to ruin a thing because of that.
Well, yes and no... A lot of drives are magnetically shielded up to a point; otherwise, you’d wipe your hard drive just by carrying your laptop in and out of some buildings with magnetic security gates. Since the screws are generally very tiny, it wouldn’t require a strong magnetic field to hold onto the screw. In fact, there are some computer repair kits that come with magnetized screwdrivers and such. Is it safer to avoid magnets completely around computers? Sure! However, if you know what you’re doing and are careful, you’ll be fine. 🙂
In this episode of Mythbuster, Katelyn and Evan tested myths around the DIY world!
This should've been named: evan & katelyn discovers magnetic science 😂
10:31 - In this case, I think it's less the heat and more moisture, which causes the wood to swell up just a bit. I read a similar life-hack that said to just put a couple drops of water on the affected wood, and then when it's soaked up, sand it back to flush.
This was a great video! However... that screwdriver was already magnetic without the magnet. 😂 I had a good laugh. Cute video!
I don’t believe the original screwdriver was magnetic, but whether or not it was, this would still work because of science (😉 you can see an explanation in my other comment).
K: ... is that a pErSoNaL mAsSaGeR?
E: WE’RE NOT THAT KIND OF CHANNEL!
😆❤️
XD
"The secret to stripping my friends" LOL! It's so funny when Evan innocently says something kinda inappropriate and Katelyn just looks at the camera.
haha! I think he likes to see what will get a reaction out of me
@@EvanAndKatelyn Evan is very similar to the LockPickingLawyer with his play on words watch any of LockPickingLawyer's April Fools videos to see it in action.
can you believe there was almost a world where these two didn’t meet?
That would be a sad world
@@bridgettleigh2912 it makes me wonder what type of people they would be.
Kiwigrill bubbly people who have dozens of cats each in order to fill the hole in their heart where the other should be ;-;
The darkest timeline.
We need backstory of how they met etc I love them
You should try making the most functional desk ever. Incorporate floating shelves/storage held by the desk, create drawers and compact storage areas on the side and under the desk. And maybe incorporate something that slides out of the way to reveal a quark board or chalk board? Make sure to include resin to! If you can incorporate a lightning and cable organization system then that’s brownie points!
LMFAO I am dying here... 4:57 "We added too much salt" No, Evan... YOU added too much salt lol Katelyn had no part in that.
Seriously, Raycon should put in the following marketing tip: "Does your phone not have a headphone jack?"
If it doesn't, then buy Raycon!
I love you guys so much! You guys are definitely couple goals! You put so much effort into your videos! Thank you!
aw thank you!
EvanAndKatelyn your welcome! I found your videos a little while ago, and love them so much!
Woo! Exactly what I needed to brighten up my day! 😊☀️
With that steamer hack...you can also use a clothes iron and a wet cloth. Soak the cloth in water and place it on the wood where the dent is and then take your iron and go over the cloth+wood. It takes out dents pretty well and you wont need an actual steamer. I work in a cabinet factory and we do this all the time for damaged pieces. If the dent is deep enough it wont fully fix it but that's what using a wood crayon before you paint is for. Thanks for the video!
The magnet on the screwdriver also allows you to hold onto a few screws as well
Pros trying to strip screws be like "???"
My noob ass, having been forced to use only three (3) different screwdrivers for all sorts of DIY's lately: "My time to shine!!!"
No but really, how to strip a screw: you try to screw it in tightly/out from a tight spot using _the wrong size/type_ of manual screwdriver. A flathead in a phillips works best. Put your whole bodyweight into that sucker and _twist_ your worst. Horrendous stripping guaranteed! xD
I used a pair of scissors to strip a screw! I couldn't open the battery case and never got to use my christmas gift. :P
@hope Wright
HOW I... I HOW?
Best way to start the weekend, by watching Evan and Katelyn videos (well as much of a weekend there is in quarantine)
When I tell you I absolutely lost it when katelyn fell out of her shoe and got scared 🤣
An alternative to the last one with the line, is to cut the scrap in half, with a good 90-degree crosscut, then hold the two pieces together side-by-side, but with their ends slightly offset from each other. This allows you to easily nestle your drillbit into the vertical inside corner between the end grain of one piece and the side grain of the other. Easier to use than sighting a line, because the bit can actually touch the two vertical surfaces.
I used the rubber band on stripped screws so many times and it worked like a charm every time!
I just love hearing Evan screaming out “I’m to good of a stripper!”
😂😂❤️
@@EvanAndKatelyn lol I love your channel
Omg for number six the first thing that popped into my head was "screwbricant"
haha that is perfect
"If you have a dent in your wood, do it."
Great life advice :D
With the soap on the screw its a carpenters trick my dad taught me, it is really really good for brass wood screws which have a habit of breaking, usually used with a pilot hole
Oh when he said "this whole life hack thing has got me feeling really salty" on the salt hack that didn't work was hilarious.
An E&K notification never fails to make me drop what I’m doing to watch :)
Same
I'm a new sub, but I totally agree. E
8:20 if I had to guess why not ... most screwdrivers have magnets built in ...
