    You may need an EZ-Out to remove it. Crasftsman makes a set for stripped heads, this is more of a broken bolt situation. CW

    Wood screw direction

    I have a question. I need small a screw....one with a point on the end like a wood screw. BUT...I need it to go the opposite way of our standard screws.......(i need "lefty tighty right loosey") I need counter clockwise to go in to the object...and CW to pull out. ANyone know where I can get a hold of one????


    I need to pull get a tiny stripped screw out of a tiny little hole........my boostcontroller...one of the screws you use to adjust the boost is stripped so I can't get it out.

    you can't rethread it, because only 1 screw fits in it....... so you can't make the hole any bigger......I was thinking about putting some JB weld on the end of the alan key..then putting that inside the screw and let it bond together
