LOOKING TO GET OUT STRIPPED SCREW

[wox11]

LOOKING FOR ANY GOOD WAYS TO GET OUT A SCREW WHERE THE HEAD HAS BEEN STRIPPED :shrug:



MUST BE 1 EASY WAY OUT THERE TO DO IT :scared

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!

 

[buddy]

can you get a pair of vice grips on the head?

 

[danmurphy jr]

There are pliers that will tighten the grip on the head as you turn counter clockwise or the stem if the head is broken off. Try not to wiggle it as you will make the hole larger. I assume it's a wall. Wood? Bang it in and cement scar.

SMALLER SCREW THAT IS THE LAST ONE LEFT HOLDING UP A SLIDING SCREEN DOOR THAT SCREWED INTO THE WOOD FRAME OF A DOUBLE FRENCH DOOR.

ONLY CAN GET SCREWDRIVER (BITS) TO THE HEAD. ANY WAY THAT SOME DRILL BIT WOULD GO INTO IT & THEN PULL IT OUT :shrug:

ITS A PAIN ~ TRYING TO DO THAT ~ WATCH FOOTBALL & WORK ON COMPUTER :mj16: :drinky:

 

[buddy]

can you pry it out?

 

[wox11]

NO.

BUDDY JUST CALLED ME BACK & SAID THERE IS A TOOL CALLED "EASY OUT" SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS.

CALLED LOWES & PRICE RANGES FROM $2.98 TO $8.98 DEPENDING ON THE SIZE.

THANKS FOR ALL THE IDEAS!! :toast:

A left hand drill bit or a screw extractor.Either one should do the job.Here's a link to an extractor if you have never seen one.Any local hardware store should have these and left hand drill bits.
