    Thanks for the awesome tips!! Unfortunately, ours was an incredibly stripped screw and none of these worked. HOWEVER 😉, thanks to the idea of using the rubber band, we discovered ONE MORE WAY to get a stripped screw out (as long as you're able to get the screw out a fraction before fully stripped): wrap a thick-ish rubber band around the screw (just below the head, where the threads start - even above the threads is ok). Then, using a pair of needle nosed pliers, press a length of rubber band into the stripped head with one tip while grasping the outer rubber band with the other plier tip. With the screw head firmly grasped using the "grip" of the rubber band pinched between the pliers, twist to unscrew. It's taking the idea in the video one more step. Thanks for the brilliant inspiration!! You saved my day!!😉😄

    Hi.Im new here. Nice to watch someone actually satisfy a problem instead of blabbling on and on about every tool he owns and has to demonstrate. I exagerate here you can see, when all i want is a simple demonstration. Which is what you provided. Thanks so much. I'll be watching for more videos.

    Excellent. I had a stripped construction screw with a star head. I didn’t have a rubber band so I tried using the bit with a nitrile glove between the bit and the screw head. Had to fold the glove a couple times for it to grip but worked perfect. Thanks for the tips!

    Thank you for saving my day!! I had a stripped screw that was recessed deep into plastic area, hard to reach. (thanks, repair guy!) so I could not get inside my sewing ,machine for maintenance. I tried the rubber band and nothing. Then you used the extractor & I knew I need that! I went to the hardware store, came home & used it, and it worked!!! I was amazed, after trying for several days using different techniques. Screw extractor gets a thumbs up. I will be looking for screw grab to have handy.

    I bought the stuff in the second method from Sears decades ago only to realize that it was valve grinding compound. I always have valve grinding compound handy so I’ve been using it successfully ever since. The rubber band trick is new to me. I’m going to give it a try next time I run into problems. Thanks, Chris
