Has anyone used the 'Screw extractor' sort?
It sorta looks like a left hand screw with a 'bite in' chisel end on it like a drill bit has.
I know its for extracting stripped screws but since it does not matter what the screws are going to look like afterwards anyway...
I think it would just be a 'stab and unscrew" sorta action to use it. But some ideas don't always work as planned. If it needs a lot of muscle to bite the bit into the screw, its just as much effort to use the proper screwbit in the first place.
To undo screws with stripped heads. I took a drill bit, 1/8th die, with a 6mm hex base for the battery drill adaptor, I broke the drill by accident.
So I reverse ground the drill tip, just the same included angle across the top. But grinding it so that in theory it should drill the hole in reverse direction.
Anyway, I push the bit in hard into the screw head, so it bites in and then unscrews the stripped screw when I hit the 'go' button on the battery drill.
Its got me out of a few messes.
But its easier to make sure the screw bits seated first...... I love the square drive screws and even a good size Torx screws better than a phillipspozidrive.
