Screwdrivers are among the simplest hand tools and everybody knows how to use one. Right? Judging by the number of stripped screw heads I find, I'm not so sure about that. I think people have a tougher time with this tool than they let on.
I see at least five reasons that people strip screws:
1️⃣ They're using the wrong insert bit or the wrong type of screwdriver.
2️⃣ Overtightening.
3️⃣ They mangle the screw head because they have trouble reaching the screw.
4️⃣ They ruin the screw because they're having trouble handling the screwdriver.
5️⃣ The screw is stuck and is not turning or turns only with difficulty.
Let's tackle each one of these problems, and then have a look at some of our favorite problem-solving screwdrivers.
Note: If the screw head is already stripped, have a look at our stripped-screw removal tutorial. |
