A lot of it has to do with being able to press down hard! If you're working in a position where you can't get good traction or in a tight space probably most of these won't work other than the spring loaded thing. This is exactly the problem that i have right now. So i'm going to try the rubber band and if it doesn't work good old pliers because my screws are not completely set in.

Love this video! I was trying to remove a concealed door closer from my storm door and the heads of the phillips screws immediately started to strip out.

Excellent video. Even 4 years later it’s still ‘saving the day’. I was able to use a screwdriver blade to gently tap on a protruding edge (similar to how you used the spring-loaded center punch) to unthread far enough to grab the bolt with vice grips.

@@Vgallo Sorry I never saw this. Obviously you solved this months ago. 😊 But, for anyone coming across this in the future... Even with the versatile Vice Grips, I struggled to get a hold of my offending bolt using the snapped-off portion that was protruding above the surface. After it snapped due to my carelessly putting too much torque on it, I was greatly relieved when I realized the threads hadn't seized and I could rotate it by tapping. So yeah, once there was enough to grab onto, the Vice Grips could live up to their name and I was able to rotate the broken stub by slowly rotating the tool (I had enough room to do so in my situation). But I gotta admit, there were some definite minutes of panic between the shock of snapping the bolt and finding this video by Ultimate Handyman. It was like finding a tranquilizer in video form.

A great video showing some really useful tips on to remove those massacred screws heads that can sometimes really ruin a perfectly good day.

One technique that wasn't covered here but has worked wonders for me is to use a small dab of hot glue and hold the bit in it until hardened. The hot glue grabs any small imperfections and of course forms perfectly around the bit. A drop of oil in the treads helps too for tough cases. It works for basically any type of screw (even one you don't have quite the right size bit for). The downside is it's a bit tedious to do if there are many damaged screws. That's when it's time to invest in a proper damaged screw bit like shown here.

Your methods work great on newer screws with nice and clean threads. I just removed 4 number 3 head screws in the rear of a '78 Bronco this afternoon using the classic "weld a nut to the screw head" method because the threads were rusted and wouldn't come out unless extreme measures were used. I welded a nut to the head of the screw, and used an open end wrench / socket wrench to remove the screws. works like a charm every time.

Agreed. Just a bit tricky when there are plastic or other heat sensitive materials next to it. So different techniques for different situations.

Excellent video. Thank you for showing off those techniques in a straight forward manner. Very informative. Now I need to search for videos on how to not punch things and scream in rage when they don't work the first time. 😉

Good overview and tips. Also that wood-screws often cannot be removed. That was my experience also. "Solution" was to remove parts of the screw -- also allowing to be the wood damaged and after that filling the hole with a 2-componenent filler before painting.

Glad it helped!

For the wood screw, there are very small and deep hole saws that fit over the shaft of the screw (after you break the head off). You can improvise if you have a piece of tubing of an appropriate size. Just make a very rough cut on the end (the rougher the better) - the screw shaft will keep it running straight. These also run counter-rotating, so quite often you do not have the drill out the whole depth of the screw. The only ones I ever had to fully drill out we're either rusted or had been epoxied in the hole. If you use brass or copper tubing, it will often twist and bite down hard on the shaft and turn the rest of the screw. But go slow when this begins because sometimes the tube twists off instead.

Two other options; (1) Use a Dremel tool with a small cut-off wheel to cut a slot across the face of the screw. Then use a straight blade slot screwdriver in the newly cut slot of the screw to turn it out. (2) Drill a small hole in the center of the screw with a 1/8" to 1/4" drill bit and then drill the head completely off with a larger drill bit, such as a 1/2". This will release the part, but leave the screw shank embedded. When you reinstall the part, you'll need to drill a new hole in a different location to screw the part into place.

Good video! The eighth method is to use a small drill bit to drill down into the center of the screw then use an easy out to remove the screw. That's how it's done in avaition.

What is an "easy out"?

@howtodoitdude1662

luvlethalwhites , it’s a screw extractor. It’s actually a drill bit that cuts into the screw in reverse.

He actually showed one in the video, the 4th one he called a grabit, is an easy out with a cutting bit built into it (and made for a drill instead of a tap handle).
