Using anything to fill the gaps in a stripped screw head: makes sense Using something to create pressure between the screw body and the hole that'd been stripped: another good thing to do Using a washer instead of a flat head tip for a drill or impact wrench: WTF?? They do make flat head tips.
Advantage of a washer over a flathead tip: your contact point is centered in the screw. The tip needs to be completely flush within the slot on all three angles, otherwise the pressure gets off center because it's on one of the corners of the tip and slips off the screw. Two disadvantages of a washer: narrow spaces, and more likely to round the slot when higher torque is needed.
@@timwcronin If you have a decently steady hand and a flat head tip for an impact wrench or drill, then you'll be just fucking fine. If you're too cheap for it, then get yourself a washer for this! :3 Edit: I forgot to mention, if you did get a flat head screw driver instead of a bit tip... you're fucked. Grab a damn washer instead.
Still easy. Just use spit and sand or valve grinding compound with an impact. Or take a small punch and tap it with a hammer and then try to remove with a Alan key with easy grip or valve grinding compound. Like I said you can use spit with sand or dirt.
If only there was a dedicated bit for removing flathead screws... we'd call it something sensible like a "flathead bit"... and we'd make sure they were available for any screwdriver possible...
Also, this is terrible for your drill chuck. Clamping down on something hard with just the end of the chuck and then twisting it against the jaws? Unreal.
It's not the "appropriate tool" you closed-minded cynic, it's a dowel/plug cutting bit used intelligently. You've been watching too many actually shit pointless "life hack" vids and just got jaded :-( I'm a tradesman and while the others were unsurprising, that use of the dowel cutter is the first one in weeks that made me say "damn why didn't I think of that, it's so obvious!" It is now a trick in my repertoire for the next time I sheer an inch-&-a-half-8 with my impact ;-)
The third one, like who in The he'll is gonna do that with a washer, screwdrivers are a thing lad, use a flathead. Man these yt shorts make me wanna jump through a wall sometimes lol
The rubber band thing has never really worked for me when I’ve tried it. I usually just use a flat and wedge it into the stripped head at and angle that it can grip. If it’s too rounded already just use a bigger flat and cut little notches in. Use a long screw driver with lots of torque and give it a mighty fast twist. Works for me every time.
@@onikinhas It seems legit and I imagine it works in some situations. He’s using wood here, whereas I’m mostly working with machine screws metal to metal and they can get real damn tight. Maybe that’s why I never succeeded with the rubber band trick. Video could also be fake as mentioned but I’ve seen/heard about this technique frequently online, even if this video is fake I’d still believe it’s possible when conditions are right
not sure if y'all are seeing it, but there are edits right before it unscrews. they replace the stripped screw with a good one. you can see the clips cut each time.

@@ant_1_ita363 that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever fucking heard of lmao there’s literally already a bit called a star bit it’s literally the shape of a star
So usually when a screw head rounds off or breaks, it's because it's all rusted in there for years and your now trying to get it out, in which case a rubber band or tape isn't gonna help you at all.
That 3rd screw wasn't broken just in case you didn't realize. Didn't need a washer. I know it's not common knowledge but that's something called a flat head screw.
I love how this video is about using alternatives for when you don't have stuff like a flat head but you just so happen to have picked up a core drill bit that fits perfectly around the threads of that screw you just snapped.
Well a flat head wouldn’t help a broken screw head regardless, i feel like a core drill would be a good thing to have handy in your car if you do that type of work
Honestly, the part where you use the circular thing to remove the screw with a flat end, you can just change the screw bit on top instead of having to remove the screw bit and use that
