/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>466903
Dremel a slot for a flathead screwdriver.

good idea, but I have 50 to remove

>>466907
Then do >>466904 50 times. It should not take long, otherwise there's no special tool i'm aware of that's made to remove one-way screws.

>>466903
>>466907
Better get to work then. There is a special tool to remove that stuff.

This is the only tool made for one-way screw extraction: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM5917592105P?ci_src=184425893&ci_sku=SPM5917592105&sid=IDx20130125xMPTLSx025

>>466903
Vice-grips, then twist clockwise... till you can unscrew by hand...

>>466937
*counter-clockwise

Broken screw remover drill bit
>go through and drill 50 pilot holes with the first bit
>unscrew each hole with the second bit

> diy not knowing proper tools

Thats called a clutch head screw, just go to the hardware store and pick up either a clutch head screwdriver or a clutch head bit,

>>466968
>clutch head screw

No, these are clutch head screws. The screw in the OP is a "one-way screw" and you use a "one-way screw extractor" bit like in the link here >>466916 to be able to remove them.

>>466968
This is a one-way screw extractor.

>>466970
Its a one way screw and this is the removal tool.

>>467065
Thank you, Sherlock.

>>466903
vice grips

>>466904
This would be a lot faster.

>>467247
You mean cut the entire head off? What is the OP wants to reuse them?

>>467272
I was meaning to add a flat blade slot but cutting the head off would be easily possible too.

>>467285
Ah, I see. That had already been shown in >>466916 which is really fast.

saging for idle banter

>2013 and has a dremmel, cuts security bit screw, does not have security bit set.
Idiots.

enjoy yer new squat op

>>466937
You don't know what you're talking about. Does that screw like like it could turn counterclockwise to you?

>>467380
Hah i have that set!
Actually using the right tools makes it a million times easier to diy

>>467380
That set is not going to make it any easier on those one-way screws, they're designed to go in one way.

>>467380
Your image doesn't have a 1-way screw extraction tool.

>>467072
You're welcome, asshat.

Why is this thread still going.

>>467437
>using a wood chisel as a cold chisel

buy special tool or do as in this pic.

>>468341
cutting them this way OP could *possibly* re-use the screws though they won't be "secure" anymore.

what do you call these?
fuck the dremel, just take off the entire head of the screw

>>468346
or he could possibly stop being a cheap faggot and buy a new box of screws, geez

>>468368
OP might not want to leave the screw bodies embedded. will be even harder to remove them with heads cut off...?

This thread is still going? OP said 50 one way screws, somebody posted a pic of an extractor which cost indivdually cost 15 dollars at homedepot. Buying one is well worth it for that large a quantity of screws instead of cutting screws up.

>>468370
Have you ever tried removing the screw from a screw hole? That is an extra step that is not needed if you simply slot the heads and take them out whole.

I imagine one of the most evil-but-time-consuming methods of revenge would be to go through someone's car and replace as many of the hex, torx, and allen screws in their engine with one-way screws. Assuming one-way machine screws exist, they'd basically be fucked once they tried to do any repairs.

This link helped me at it.
It'd be useful to try all these steps and this so called "favored method"

what the fuck is wrong with you fuckin retards? I thought this was a DIY board. You don't know how to remove a fucking screw?

>>470084
You can't remove one-way screws with vicegrips.

>>470152
It's actually very easy to do if you have a quality set at least for shit like security door sized ones. Cheap vice grips will slip off and piss you off but decent ones will bite nicely in and stay there. I've used them to install the screws when the included tool was shit, just taped the area around the screw and started turning.

>>470200
All vice grips will slip off good one-way screws. The proper tool to undo them works very well. Perhaps you are buying shit screws? Yours can be undone with vice grips and the tool that comes with it is shitty. Ergo, you buy and install shitty fasteners.

0/10

Fucking one-way screws are horrible... But 9/10 they are put in places you're not meant to fuck around with... So tell us what you're working on first... Or dont, and be satisfied in knowing the correct way of taking them out has already been posted(Cheapest = dremel and flat-head. 'proper' is 1-way screw extractor, but thats something that'll prob. never get used again so why invest the $$$ into it?)

The world would be a better place if everyone just switched to robertson for framing, and torx for smaller things.

>>467380

I have that exact set (only with the grey case).

It's absolute shit, rofl. But I mean, what do you want for...what...I think I paid like $6?

>>467380
>>470781
I got one of these at harbor freight... to date have only used it for 2 or 3 of the security torx bits on microwaves... still paid 5 bucks for it.. so probably cheaper than buying a real security torx set...

>>470715
>not using fingers to take the screw out like a pro

Do you even lift?

These haven't failed me yet.
The short jaws really get a grip.

>>471460
dude battery terminal pliers are awesome. Made to grip and turn impossible super corroded bolts. I just picked up a pair from Wilde. Channellock makes a "nut buster" line with similar function.

>>473054
I should add, Wilde makes this same model for Snap On.

When we get screws that has snapped heads or have a screw on a surface which cannot be reached by a Dremel as >>466916 shows.

We usually just drill the hole with a smaller drill (so not to damage the threads.) then remove anything left inside with compressed air and/or Isopropyl alcohol. If the threads are damaged we replace it with a Time-Sert or Helicoil.

And incase the hole is threaded by the screw instead of pre-threaded we just use threadingtape around the new screw.

So much this. 10/10, and enjoy a fresh pair!
