4:29 HOLY SNIKES BATMAN! Didn’t know could pickup an X-lock mandrel (EZ-Lock suppose called, but It’s the X-Lock, lol)for my Dremel……WHAAAAAAAAAAAT😱🤯🤯🤯🤯
That’s awesome, and THX for “educating” me. Now, next time I’m out at Depot (probably 2mro picking up something, lol) I’ll be buying that accessory (less gotta order online😉).
But that’s just awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad I could be of help my friend! 👍🏽😊🙏🏽 thank you for watching!
Highly appreciate! You save my life about pulling off a screw without head from cabinet handle. Your way is fantastic!
OMG - thank you! I was finally able to fix something that has been broken for years as I couldn't figure out how to get the broken screw out. The drill trick worked like a charm.
Thanks, Buddy. Had a screw sticking out about a quarter inch from hardwood, no head. The locking Vice grips method saved me. It’s all about getting it as tight as possible while still closing, then slowly and patiently rotating it out.
I was replacing two old deck board today and could not remove some rusty half broken screws. After seeing this video, I tried the vise grip method and it worked very well! Thank you!
I used the broken screw head method #1 with the drill on the raised stripped screw head and it worked. Thanks a million.
I had the tiniest of screws broken of on my watch and the first method already worked. Thanks for sharing! 💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much you are a lifesaver. I had a broken screw stuck in a guitar in your method of using the chuck on the drill and reverse got it out. Thank you so much!
I was about to buy a set of screw extractor. i used your method with the drill to pull a screw from dry wall and it worked great. Thank you!
The drill method for broken head worked. So relieved. I brought three different stripped screw removers sets(nothing). When everything i needed I already had. Lesson learned, remedy stored for life and video saved 😅. Thank a mil !
Your tip of using the drill to just "clamp" onto the remaining portion of a screw with a broken head saved me!! I had 2 broken head screws with less than 2mm sticking out of the surface but the drill just did it... thanks!
I’m glad I could be of help Sergio! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏽😊
You just SAVED me from a mental breakdown. Please never take down this video!
What about a screw broken BELOW the wood's surface?
Same this is my problem. Screw head broke off leaving only the threads and shaft below the wood surface. There’s nothing to grab with pliers as you have to look into the screw hole to see a glint of metal
Screw a hole next to it and punch it out
It depends on your required results.
If you just want to get the top board off and don’t care about damage, I’d drill one or more small holes next to the screws and pry the board off.
If you need minimal damage or to reuse the board, I’ve had some luck with drilling out the screw itself. You may need to start with a very small bit to prevent wandering,and be prepared to fill the hole with toothpick, splinter, or glue to hold the new screw.
@@TomCee53 and if drilling it out anyway, no harm in using a left-hand bit. You might get lucky, the bit could bite and act as an extractor.
That's why I'm watching these videos to begin with. I'm debating buying extractors or left hand drill bits but all the videos show stupid "can't you figure this out on your own" scenarios like these here where obviously you could just use pliers. And if you can't? Bah, just cut it off and grind it down! Problem solved! RIGHT??? That screw wasn't HOLDING ANYTHING that's got to stay there! And you can't always just replace the wood or move the mounted object!
My scenario is that a friend's pet-and-baby gate is mounted in a doorway of sorts along a half-height wall that separates their kitchen from the family room. They always kind of slammed the gate closed, and over the years, one of the screws on the bottom hinge broke about a quarter to a half inch below the surface of the wall. Now the gate hangs wrong and scrapes the floor. Problem is, they still need the gate for the pets and they don't want to reposition it because they don't want a bunch of holes in the wall and it's currently centered on the bulkhead.
If I can't use an extractor there, there's no point in buying a set. I might opt instead for a left hand bit set. Then again, what the hell, they're not exactly expensive. Maybe I'll get both?
Have to drill the shiz out of it until it doesn't exist. Only way I've seen otherwise just leave it in and work around it lol
Thank you for this video. It's very usefull especially for the advice on the dremel attachments! Thank you from Italy
Absolute hero - broken screw head extracted with the drill per method 1 worked perfectly. Thankyou so much
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
The drill trick is awesome. Hadn't thought about it and it worked perfectly. Thank you
Exactly what I was looking for, specifically when the head is missing from the screw. Thanks from Sverige ✌️
The drill locking onto the headless screw worked great!
7:00 YOU’RE AWESOME DUDE. So glad I saw this trick. I’m trying to add knobs to a nightstand and it was too tight. I couldn’t get the headless screw out. Saved me further frustration.
The one where you use the drill to grip the headless screw! Yes! It worked! Great idea!
Dude.... the vise trick helped me. Awesome! Thx a ton
Thank you!!! This video and your tip was a savior.. almost done with my project and the screw head got ripped while attaching the doors!!
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊 I wish you well on your project!
Very useful. Thank you so much. Wanted to know how to remove a screw with broken screw head. Foun plenty of options. Thanks. Appreciated.
You saved my project. Thank you!!
this video was insanely helpful!!! thanks!
Good tips for screws. For nails, I find a Japanese style nail puller + hammer works well, even if it’s missing the head. I use a scrap piece of wood to protect the finished piece in the same way as you.
You saved my day. Thank you.
Excellent information...thank you!!!
Man thanks so much. Used the drill for the broken screw head.. Worked so well.. Didn't even know that trick.

Nice one bro! I used the extractors and i ended up returning them… because they didn’t work… i ended up just hammering a close wrench and i got out the bolt, and i love the ez lock dremel it makes life lot easier.
Wow I never thought of a close wrench! I’ll try that next time! Thanks for sharing bro!👍🏽😊

can you pull out the screw/nail from the back if the head isnt broken though? thats our issue right now. please help
6:34 saved my wall... thank you SO much 😅
I rarely make a comment, but I had to this time. Thank you for this video it helped me significantly.
Thank you so much Sherief! It really means a lot! 🙏🏽😊
regarding the star bit screw removal, if you use a blowtorch to heat (ONLY) the screw up, you can jam pretty much ANY bit into it while it is still hot, let it cool off, then slowly remove it, as it will warp around the bit and dry to the new shape.
you also don't need to reverse the drill with the nail removal. in fact, it will work better if you keep it going forwards, since there is no threads like screws have.
lastly, you don't need a vice grip to remove nails, since i know fewer people have those. you can just use "channel lock" pliers (or any adjustable wrench with a larger head like that), and rock it on it's bulge to pry the nail out. i did that when i was tearing out old lath and plaster ceiling in my basement, and had a ton of nails in the ceiling left. they came out in literally seconds with minimal effort.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Method one broken screw head. Thank you so much bro... Save me a couple new gray hairs
I built something with brad nails. Now I want to upgrade to screws. Can i just drill/screw into those brad nails without removing them? From an electrical nail gun? I have heard this works. Does it?
YOu're the best!
Thank you so much for this...saved our project 😅
Glad I could help! Thank you so much!
Can you add options for the round head screw? I have a stripped screw in the shower door, but it is has a round head and using the dremel just made a bigger mess of the screw by creating a valley vs a slot to use a flat head screw driver on.
Thanks
Yahoo!! Drill to remove broken screw head!!!
Good show; I've been using Vise Grips for years. I ran into a problem on a door though; the hinge screws broke off below the surface and I couldn't get a bit to stay on the screw. I tried a bit that drills around the screw, but couldn't get that to work either. I never did get those out, might have to just run another screw in along side them.
I'm dealing with this very same issue right now. The screws that come with doors are absolute shit. Shearing the screw heads off below the surface is one of the most common scenarios... this video is incomplete without addressing that.
Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching! 👍🏽😊
Had a head come off of a screw in a metal dresser frame. Tightening the drill around the rest of the screw didn’t work at first. So I kept re tightening the drill to the screw, small short bursts in reverse and she came out. Thanks for the video man.
If you hand tighten the chuck as tight as you can and then back it off one click it will prevent the chuck from loosening.
Most useful video u making keep up
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
What if the the screw head is the part blocked? The screw broke in a pedestal table I have so half is in the bottom and top is blocked off by a metal plate that went up the center large pole screw the keeps the center pedestal to the floor base foot of table. How do I remove the screw basically if it’s up side down broken off?
Thank you …. Made my life easier for a min. 😂
Great 👍
Thank you! 🙏🏽😊
I have a screw that broke in it's hole when I was trying to drive it deeper. When I try to back it out i just spins. The screw is also stripped. How can I get it out? It's recessed in the hole (countersunk and counterbored for wood plugs).
I couldn't find any rubber bands or duct tape so used plumber PTFE tape , worked a treat on a stripped screw with a hand screwdriver
I like Liquid Nails ! Also, a good alternative would be Gorilla Glue !
Legend mate, got me out of a fix. Nice one!
I’m glad I could be of help Neil! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks!
Used your drill method to remove the headless screw. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊
Thanks you
You are very welcome David!🙏🏽😊
I messed up the screws when mounting a new mirror and broke the head off … panicked but this video saved me!!
Try wrapping an elastic band around the threaded screw or nail then use drill in reverse to remove, works for me
I'll try it. I have a stripped screw on the back of my laptop.
what if the screw head is broken and deep inside the wood? any tips?
What do you do when the screw is in the wood and the has broken and that screw can not be grabbed by some pilers?
I sometimes experienced problems with removing rusted broken off nails from pallets. You cannot grip it as it is inside the wood. You cannot drill it as it is too thin. No tools work. This makes life difficult especially when you want to plane these planks and you don't want to damage the planer.
Any ideas for a broken screw head in concrete with only 0.1 inch exposed?
how about from concrete wall without using power tools?
I have two wheel chair metal body that has broken screws in it. Broken off at the surface. What’s the best way to remove them
Hi! For broken screws in metal what I would do is get a small drill bit smaller than the screw and slowly drill out the screw, similar to drilling out a rivet.
rubber band works sometimes, but only with a hand-turned screwdriver, pressed in really hard
Can you do rusted in screw heads?
Yes Ofcourse! Please stay tuned!
Diagnosed pliars/cutters. Get a bite on a nail and roll it to the side. Works well when the nail is very short.
the broken head screw method worked
I’m glad I could be of help! 🙏🏽😊
Do you have a method to remove Hilti nails from masonry? Hilti is a simple nail but it’s shank is serrated to fix it into place.. but what a pain to remove… otherwise your video is great.
highly appreciate most of the video though you may wanna mention that gripping it with your impact driver head you´re about to strip it sooner or later, more like sooner if not experienced and sensitive with that... the part I don´t appreciate however was the nail removing part. vice grip? sure it works but this is the most basic nail pulling tool (hammer, crowbar or pliers) situation, what in heaven is the vice grip doing there? :-)) that is a no brainer, we all want to see how you pull out nails all the way in, not halfway out
They might be helpful but those who doesn't have drills
My screw on my bathroom handle is so bad. Someone used a drill or something there's a circle hole I cannot find a bit to fit. Any help? Please
I didn't explore the worse problem of all, that's when you have a stripped head with the thread completely immersed into the wood.
