035: How to Remove a Stripped Screw PLUS Woodworking Safety Tips
b'
Removing stripped screws can be a headache.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nIn today\\u2019s show we help Mark figure out how to overcome this problem with one simple tool, a screw extractor kit.
\\n\\xa0
\\nThe Alden 8440P Pro Grabit Screw Extractor kit gets 4 out of 5 starts on Amazon (412 reviews) and I have one myself.
\\n\\xa0
\\nHow do you use this tool?
\\n\\xa0
\\ninsert drill bit end of the extractor to burnish or smooth out the stripped screw.
\\n\\xa0
\\nRemove the extractor from your drill and flip it around to use the tap.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nAgain, 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.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nPretty awesome solution.
\\n\\xa0

\\nToday\\u2019s Quick Tip is about staying safe when cutting wood.
\\n\\xa0
\\nAlways wear a respirator when you\\u2019re working on a large project and exposing yourself to copious amounts of wood dust.
\\n\\xa0
\\nIf 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.
\\n\\xa0
\\nWear a respirator.
