Works like a charm!!! I spent an hour trying to take off a license plate with rusty screws. I was trying to avoid stripping the screw head. Watched the video and purchased an impact driver. 10 minutes done!!!
It’s called an impact driver for those that don’t know. Another tip folks.... Spray some WD40 and allow time for it to soak BEFORE hammering and going in dry.....
The video is very helpful. Could you please share some details on that impact screw driver along with its price and a link where I can buy it from if possible, Thanks
Thanks for watching. There's a link in the description below to Amazon tools I own and recommend. The impact driver I use is in that tools list. You can get it there. Best regards.
I got nasty ol black rusted screws on my toilet seat and I'm having a hard time taking them off. They don't seem to be stripped but definitely tightened to all h3ll.
@@nicole_roma You could try soaking the threads with PB Blaster (seriously I didn't make that up) to see if that loosens the corrosion up but sometimes those get too far gone. Then yes, a mini hacksaw or even a grinding wheel on a dremmel could cut the bolts off. You just don't want to damage the porcelain. Kind of tricky. Good luck! The joys of home ownership!
Si, ya lo habia visto con mecanicos de la Yamaha.. Old school yamaha mechs used it a long time ago here in Costa Rica.. Greet, by the way I happened to like motorcycles... Aufwiedersehen oder Aurevoir..
You may be able to find a smaller bit that fits the impact driver but tapers down to the smaller size you need. Alternatively, sometimes just tapping a regular screwdriver into the screw with a hammer is enough to release the tension between the threads, but of course there's no torsion motion included in that scenario like with the impact driver. Good luck!
Well that's probably another video but I would use a cold chisel to put some angled indents in the head of the screw and see if I can get any movement. Applying heat to the surrounding metal with a propane torch can help too, if the material can take the heat. Depends on the application. Thanks for watching.
Chisel, or a die grinder to make a slot to use a straight bladed screwdriver on it. In extremis, weld a nut on to the end of the thing through the middle of the hole in the nut.
Thanks for watching! Admittedly I haven't tried either but I think the rubber mallet wouldn't drive a sharp enough force for many stuck screws/bolts and I'm afraid the impact driver would damage the impact surface of my dead blow hammer, which is plastic.
I'm sorry you felt it was too long. Excerpt from my channel's "About" page..."...in-depth, detailed DIY motorcycle maintenance instruction..." I appreciate you watching. All the best.

They're a great, inexpensive tool to have around. Thanks for watching!
Did you ended up breaking the retainer ?
@@dawnsreviews7205 No I didn’t break the retainer
@@keitht47 great!!! I am going to get one...trying to remove it again tomorrow. Thanks!!

ayo hol up pause. didnt sound right
already have a cordless impact driver. Was going to use it on my license plate screws but the nut in back can detach.
Thanks for watching.

I'd hardly call that a rusty screw
It wasn't coming out with a regular screwdriver and I needed to title the video something. Thanks for watching.

Those are probably best cut off with a hacksaw and replaced with nylon bolts and nuts which will not corrode.
@UrbanMonkTV like a mini hacksaw? Sorry I'm not a tool lady LOL

Gracia por ver.
Great tool!
I also recently discovered this tool. Considering its like 12 bux or something, it hard to pass up.
Thanks for watching!
My screw is in the place where I can't fit a beefy front end of this screwdriver. Any tools for a such scenario? Thank you.

I don't think an impact driver is ever used for tightening anything. The 2nd setting is for loosening left-handed threaded screws.
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for throwing in here.
What do you do after you already stripped and rounded it off???

What is your tool name

Thanks for watching! Link to my tool below.
Thanks for the tip. Did you tried with a rubber coated hammer (dead blow) to avoid damage to your impact driver?

Urban Monk TV Thanks, I don’t have an impact driver but will definitely get one.
@@luketrem I've got one on my Amazon influencer page (link in video description) for $12 that is exactly like mine.
I never knew that hammers were different types of steel.
Thanks for watching! Good hammers should be.
Didn’t look very rustic to me
Thank you for watching.
Pretty neat, but the music is a bit distracting.
Sooo long to watch this.
