Removing stripped screws can be a headache.
In today’s show we help Mark figure out how to overcome this problem with one simple tool, a screw extractor kit.
The Alden 8440P Pro Grabit Screw Extractor kit gets 4 out of 5 starts on Amazon (412 reviews) and I have one myself.
How do you use this tool?
insert drill bit end of the extractor to burnish or smooth out the stripped screw.
Remove the extractor from your drill and flip it around to use the tap.
Again, insert the tap into the screw and slowly turn it counterclockwise. The tap will catch the inside of the screw and remove it from your material.
Pretty awesome solution.
Today’s Quick Tip is about staying safe when cutting wood.
Always wear a respirator when you’re working on a large project and exposing yourself to copious amounts of wood dust.
If you read the label on anything with wood a lot of times it says to wear a respirator because the wood dust has been known to cause cancers. NOT GOOD.
Wear a respirator.
