Maybe you could do a video on the different screw and bolt materials. Seems like my biggest headaches working with broken bolts or stripped screws are from the cheap ones people are buying from the big box stores.
We've actually already made a video concerning the more common fastener grades & materials. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/j_6IIT_ls2Y/w-d-xo.html
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
try cutting a screwdriver slot with a hacksaw blade to take out stripped Phillips screws. Also drill a spinning rivet at more of an angle (60 degrees vs 90) to get it to cut while it is spinning. works fine. Watchagot for stripped countersunk square bit stainless deck screws?
If you have a stripped countersunk screw, your best bet to get that out is by using an extractor. You can get one from out site here: www.albanycountyfasteners.com/Norseman-Super-Premium-Magnum-Bolt-Extractor-Set-p/1050-344.htm
The extractor process followed here would never work if the fastener were stuck in metal. You have to drill it out almost in its entirety before putting the extractor into the shell of the fastener, and even then it often doesn't work.
Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, we cannot show every situation in a single video. You are right however, most fasteners attached to metal would be significantly harder to remove. We recommend using some type of penetrating oil on the bolt and letting it soak before attempting to use the extractor tool in a metal on metal scenario. If that fails, then turn to drilling out the fastener and tapping new threads.
Tenders, I disagree. We have rusted and or stripped screws in our tooling weekly from people not replacing the torx screw before it strips, or using the improper size torx bit (ex: tx15 and ip15 torx are not the same). 99% of the time, the maintenance department wins in extracting the stuck, rusted and or stripped screw. Kroil oil works very well in penetrating between the Male and female threads. Periodically adding a thick oil like way oil works wonders in being able to back out screws and keeping them from rusting. I dont use antiseize.
Great video !!

Thanks for the tips. Stripped fasteners are no fun.
You can say that again! We hope our video can help those who have to deal with them.

@Elliott Mack Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)
@Elliott Mack Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

Elastic band. Hmm.
and the screw...
Thank you for your feedback.
