How To Loosen An Old Screw (Remove It Easier)

- In this video, I show you how to loosen an old screw that won't turn. I demonstrated the method on a screw that had been tightened into a deck board many years ago. All that you need is a drill bit that fits the screw's head and a hammer. This method is perfect for old screws that won't come out!

I'm getting to where I hate You Tube because everybody that makes a video does a WHOLE lot of talking and never shows me anything... This guy talked and talked and never removed the screw..!!! I would like to watch a video where somebody showed results and didn't just get on here to talk and talk...!!!!
Yeah. When they dont follow through to show you it works - whether intended or not it sends a message that says "I'm wasting your time, hoping you'll view this and watch maybe click on any ads so I can earn money for wasting your time". I suggest to this Channel to follow through with your DIY videos or don't bother. You already (at this time) have 129 thumbs down verses 94 thumbs up - and thats not a good ration. It says, real people., not trolls find this video misleading.
I was thinking same thing he did not remove screw i injured myself last summer trying to get these dam screws up and i still cant
Never removed screw, great
Might have been more convincing if you had ACTUALLY REMOVED the old screw!
That is a screwdriver bit, not a drill bit. Just a heads up
Thumbs up - I just used your method on a furniture screw I couldn’t remove. It worked great. Thanks.
that screw still be there 20 years from now
Good post, Actually your suggestion worked for the ones i had trouble removing.
I found this video very useful! Thank you very much! It helped me get out the rusty screws from PVC roof panels on top of my carport. I didn't have drill bit. I just hammered on to of the screw head a few times and it worked. For hard to get out screws or where the screw head broke, I would bend the top a bit to 90 deg and then use plier to turn around. Of course my screws were not flushed flat to the panel as in this video. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing. This method was very helpful. Using drill with clutch set to 3 or 4 did the job after hammering.
Thank you so much, it works and now we use the wood again
Very good quick vid with a useful tip, thanks!
Awesome! Worked great! Thank you for sharing.
Great, this helps. Thank you!
Worked for me thank you!
Thank you! Installing subs in a 96 dodge screws were stuck on every other panel. This works!!
Just tried this. It works!
I just tried it today. It does work to a degree. After hammering the drill bit, you need to use a power drill to turn the nail while pushing it down real hard. Keep using power drill, you may get most of the nails out if you are lucky.
Worked for me! Thanks!
Show us if the screw could be removed. Why did you stop mid-way?
yeah it worked for me. Just like he did it, worked for me.
Thanks a huge help!!!!
You couldve shown us but you made sense......the screw i am having trouble with is not all the way into the wood...the screw was put in to reinforce a side of an antique table ..it seems the legs were glued on?
Pretty surprisingly this simple trick is actually the only advice that worked for me with a nearly impossible job. I had to remove an old screw from a wooden window frame that had been laying under three layers of paint for many decades and they wouldn't show any signs of moving at all. Some 50-60 hits with a hummer loosened them just enough to finally get them out
Yeah running a hummer into a window will definately loosen a screw :p But 50 to 60 times? shesh
This method can break the screw and make life a whole lot more difficult. That's what happened to me.
awesome what a great help!!!
Before this I tried several other suggestions. This is the only idea that worked. One screw turned a little and got stuck. I hammered it again and it turned more and got stuck. After three hammering sessions it came out. My driver bit broke on the next screw.
Where did u remove the screw mam?
Why did you not remove the screw? I think it is still in there.
GOOD MAN
Awesome
Plus it compresses the wood around the screw to give it more room to be removed easier.
This is so unhelpful...
This video goes nowhere
Yup i still dont know how to remove hitting it with a hammer only drove it in further.
IT IS NOT A DRILL BIT!!!
A waste of time. How about using an impact driver to agitate it out. It's a square drive and should have little trouble reversing the screw.
It would be nice to actually see you remove one. Rusted deck screws are impossible. They break and nothing will retract. I've had to resort to a pair of needle nose pliers.
Do plyers work cause i cant get them up and dont want to shed anymore blood
Maybe use a hole saw with small diameter around the screw.
This is the same guy that sisters his joists with deck screws in another video, right?
Thought so.
You forgot to show how easily the screw extracts after "loosening" it.
Mine didnt
not so much, down to the age, as more down to the condition, but I get your drift.
can this be removed from you tube so it doesnt show as a suggestion and waste anyone elses time?
Don't hold the bit down close to the board. If you hold the bit at the top and miss, then the hammer will push your fingers away instead of crushing them against the board.
Keeps talking about a drill bit and shows something completely different. A square drive bit I guess. He wiggles it so much not once holding it still for the viewer, not sure what it is. I assume a square drive bit because screw is square drive.
That’s a driver bit not a drill bit. Also, an impact driver does the same freaking thing only more efficiently/effectively 🤣🤙🏽
Those aren't that old. Those won't work on mine.
It’s not a drill bit.
More dislikes thank likes for a reason. 🙄
This did not work😔
I lost a few brain cells watching this
I'd be tempted to leave a comment if you actually interacted with your audience.
Thats not a drill bit. Lmao
The simple reasons for this working are two - it pushes down on the wood compressing the twist of wood the screw has friction with reducing the corresponding friction on the upside, and allowing the screw to spin freer (but not freely) and two if there's rust attached that acts like a lock and this can break the rust up a little freeing up an eroded screw.. Of course the worst of those screws you'd be lucky to have anything to put your driver into. Why do you need to seem him take it out? It's just a process - you understand the process? Then fucking try it and stop whining.
LOL! When I tried removing the screws from a 22 year-old mahogany deck with a ¼ inch cordless impact driver, they were snapping-off in the pressure treated lumber to which they were screwed. I was more successful using an old-style pound-on-it type impact driver. Maybe that is why!
HELLO?… That’s not a drill bit!!! It’s a 1/4 inch drive for that type of screw head!!! Good Lord!
I see you never attempted to remove the screw
Its not a drill bit!! Its a driver bit.
Total waste of time, he needs to pay. This is not a drill bit.
It would take you a week to take out deck boards
That's not a drill bit.
all I this video did for me was annoy me with his hands constantly moving, some kind of sign language trying to make us understand what he was saying or something, like were stupid and after listening to all that talk there was no walk.
LMFAO
If u would've removed the screw probly would've been more convincing.
Hahahhahahahahahh 🤣🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎👎
First thing that isn't a drill bit, if you're going to make a video about removing screws how about knowing what tools you're using.
bla bla BS
terrible clip
Seriously not impressed. I might have been impressed if you removed the screw.
Wasted my time
A better way to loosen a screw is to simply install a SCREWDRIVER BIT into a SCREWDRIVER and turn the screw counterclockwise. Much faster than pounding on drill bits, they would usually break. As for screws that won't come out. I would break them off flush with a hammer. The poster is challenged by the english language. Screws that won't come out "wont" come out. Stay in school kids or you may look like a jackass when you're just trying to be helpful.
Try it out boys it works fine just make sure the bit is the right size
Yeah this poster is an idiot. The simple reasons for this working are two - it pushes down on the wood compressing the twist of wood the screw has friction with reducing the corresponding friction on the upside, and allowing the screw to spin freer (but not freely) and two if there's rust attached that acts like a lock this can break the rust up a little freeing up a heavily eroded screw.. Of course the worst of those screws you'd be lucky to have anything to put your driver into.
