- You've seen the "life hack" hack videos, tried them and realised they are as much use as gloves to a bloke with no arms. Here's one way to actually remove a rounded off screw. Sorry it's not as easy as the fantasy methods!

Im not a man but after watching this video I grew a beard
Yehaaaa🤙🤙🤙🤘🤘
lol
NICE
BRUHH
suits you :))
Spent weeks trying to remove screws attached to stainless steel. I tried EZ Outs/Speed Outs, screw extractors, rubber bands, super glue, drill bits, gloves, and the only thing that worked was using a rotary tool with cutter (Harbor Freight $10) to cut a line/slit(Phillips flathead) in the center of the screw so an Impact Driver can hold onto the screw. My screw was too short and the material was very soft. Put painters tape on the screw before using an Impact Driver(Amazon $12). This was the only thing that worked for me. Hope this helps someone out there.
bless you
Thank-you! This approach worked for me as well!
At last a bloke who knows. Cheers mate.
Finally...a video with some common sense for people who haven't a clue about all this...and yes, I did see that one with the rubber band!! This is common sense creative..thanks!
The rubber band does sometimes work, it depends on the situation, but I've had it work.
Please could you send a link for the exact bits you used. Thank you.
What speed did you drill at please? Thank you!
Those are interesting bits. If I see set I will try them. I try to use valve grinding compound on screws that are difficult but not yet fully stripped.
do they have for smaller screws? I need this to remove the one stripped small screw inside my laptop.
Can you please show how this can be done on laptop screws? Great work!
WOMEN SHOULD KNOW THESE TOO!
This woman appreciated the information.
Only person that kept it real
Thanks man it was helpful
All these videos are showing that a new screw is stuck in wood. but in actual reality most of the time the screw are covered with rust and stuck in anything like iron or plastic for a long time. And that is difficult to open.
thanks I'm trying this today. fingers crossed.
Does this method work on hard bolts, group 10.8? I mean, I have a torx 40 bolt which ties the door hinge/crane to the B-pillar, it is a torx 40 button head screw which I managed to unscew 3/4 of 1 turn but then the torx bit started to round the screw head ...
Thanks man, I ordered a set for a problem screw I need to remove.
Wow i wonder why this didnt get millions of views!
Excellent . Subbed . Thank you for this mate. 👍
What works for a stripped flathead screw?
Thanks for sharing👍
Brilliant, thank you 😃
I had a problem because the stripped out screw was on a wall light fixture. Second problem was the screw was set down into plastic housing. I tried the left drill bit thing but it couldn't reach the screw. I needed to put force on it and itvwas hard enough up on a ladder. I was finally able to get the fixture away from the electric box far enough for me to get tight bolt cutters in. Dang zi hate when that happens. An extra hour of labour for a 5 minute job.
there is a stripped screw on the the irreplaceable switch on a vintage angle grinder
Thank you! Is it my imagination, or does an angry face appear in that screw at 2:01? Seriously, there is a face peering out of the metal.
omg I see it! Ha ha! :D
thats creepy.
Hey overtorqued I have a question for you. What about screws that aren't stripped and are in hard to read places where you can barely get any screw drivers in especially a drill and the areas are screwed in metal, how the fuck do you get those out? Lol. I have an amp I'm trying to get the screws out to change my valves.
Every woman should too!,
Great thanks
I recon I could have got that out with molegrips. One which is flush, and rusted into metal would be a much better test.
Right on
You brought up left handed bit. Screw that i have to remove has to turn right to get it out..sooo i need right handed normal bit.. I think??
Your landing image shows slotted screws??
Your fucking awesome. Thank you sir
I’m just looking for a video for laptop screws, external ones that are flush with the surface of the laptop but completely rounded off
Dude same, PLEASE let me know if you find / found something
@@ananysingh869 i use asome tape to. remove it
@@alfursan291 how
@@kaizo1148 put some sticky tape on the screw head and twist it out, the laptop screw should come off
Works for soft mild steel screws,try a high tensile decking screw,that sorts out the wheat from the chafe.
Yeah agree , I've just wasted £14.99 at Screfix in a screw removal kit ...absolute dog*hit on decking screws and zinc plated screws
Vid for a screw with the head sheared off?
I have some straight head screws on casement windows with 70 years of paint on the even after scratching the paint of the head it was hard to get get the screw driver in the grove. You can’t hammer the screw or you will break the glass, which is irreplaceable. I gently tapped a chisel behind the screwed latches, slowly got it loose, it also loosened the screw enough for me get a grip on it. 99% of the videos are are on Philips head screws.. do one on straight head screws.. 🤷♂️
Bruh didn’t know we actually had to buy something online that’s why i watch the rubber band video cuz it is litterly something you can find in your house even tho it didn’t work
I agree, a rubber band is a joke. I dread having to remove these, (typically very cheap screws).
I've got a flat head screw stuck in wood. A banister to be precise. I've tried everything to remove it. If you've got a method for that please. 😭🤷
If you're not concerned with the material surrounding the screw you can use a dremel tool with a metal grinding wheel and cut a slot into the screwhead and back the screw out with a standard screwdriver bit.
What if you are concerned then what do you recommend
@@Prxsumo Try gluing an upside down screw (head to head) or nail to the stuck screw and using a pair of vice grips to twist the original screw out. Maybe🤞?
@@ubb4me I stripped my screw were I add a ssd on my ps5 you think that will work
I've done all these things and nothing has removed this screw everything is making it worse
what if its a long screw
I need something for a stuck not stripped screw that is tiny can’t find that on the internet
It could be rust, treat it with WD-40 or something first
Sophie Shapeless brand new no rust just to tight
@@happycat2079 what are you trying to take apart ? depending on what it is, you can find a drill bit the same size as the head of the screw, and take the top of the screw off entirely. At that point when you release what you need to off, you take off the rest of the screw with a vice grip pliers. Check out the channel Seejanedrill on here... think her video is what you need. Good luck!
Sophie Shapeless a laptop to clean fans and vacuum it out. Don’t have an electric drill that’s the issues
What if u do not hv a drill?
You give up.
Buy a drill.
you need one
I like Robertson screws they are the better I never use Slotted screws .
These are great tips if you are screwing a board for no apparent reason reasons. But if you got a screw in a corner of a window jam these ideas suck!
Thank you!!! The rubber band thingy- does not work...the channel locks- no way. Im bound and deyermuned to get the casters off my dear beloved dad's beautiful antique chair and put legs on...soooooo im on my way to get a screw extractor kit, head held high, I WILL SUCCEED!!!!
Chewing gum is also good
This didn't`t work on rusted screws on a stove top. The screws are in metal and in very tight and won't budge. That looks easy getting a clean new screw out of wood but try these rusted screw on a stove top!
👌👍😎
I've tried with a screwdriver, rubber band and screw extractors and to no avail can't remove these two screws.
So I gave up
So you do something once and its THE way to do it?
I’ve got 2 very corroded Philips head screws holding my ceramic toilet 🚽 bowl to the floor. I can’t use your method because ceramic breaks very easily. It’s fragile. How to remove shredded screws from a ceramic toilet. They’re also recessed making it even tougher!
If I'm understanding your situation properly, what I would do is either:
Extremely carefully protect the toilet with many layers of masking tape. I would then use a small cobolt drill bit (maybe 2mm) to drill a pilot hole in the centre of the screw. Then I would increase to a larger cobolt bit and drill the head off. Lift the toilet off and remove the stubs with stilsons. This will take a lot of time and patience to avoid breaking the toilet.
Or see if you can get a reciprocating or hacksaw blade under the toilet and cut the screws off at floor level.
I would probably try option 2 first as it's less likely you will break the toilet. Either way is going to take you a full afternoon on your hands and knees.
@@4wdaction632 the plumber used a multi tool with a blade for metal and cut it from below. It’s was easier because it was sitting on rotten chipboard. Thanks 🙏
kind of solution that only works on video. I bought all those miracle gadgets and none worked
Flatheads? Like the thumbnail…
Am I the only woman who watches this😐
you're not :)
This is the 3rd or 4th video I've watched. I love trying to do as much and as many things that I can by myself! Good luck!
Woman here. Everyone should know this skill, not just men.
Nope
Nope. I have a screw that is sunken into a hole and have watched everything video there is to try to get it out.
Reddit
"skills every man should know", bc as we all know, screws always cooperate for everyone else.
Hello hello hai
The quality of the information you provide is not improved by your repeated dissing of other sites.
Yes, it is, because it confirms that most other solutions are a waste of time (which I discovered before finding this video).
It's in wood. Not a fair test.
All these videos are useless in real world including this 1.
Toxic much
So pay for something, wait like 2 weeks for it to arrive and then extract the screw? No thanks.
So, you'd rather NOT extract the screw? I'm excited to read about your alternate solution. 😊 (P.S. Amazon delivers these bits in two days.)
@soundsgoodtome cut a slit into the screw with a dremel and unscrew it with a flathead screwdriver, grip it with pliers or make 2 flat spots on each side of the screw and then grip it with pliers, jam a torx bit in it then unscrew it, hammer on the edge of the screw with a chisel to unscrew it... there are many more methods, these are just some that I commonly use.
