Worn Down Screw

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
When you've got a slotted screw that's been so badly damaged that a screwdriver won't turn the head, try this. Set a punch into the slot, off center to the right at an angle. With a hammer, you should be able to budge the screw just enough to finish with locking pliers. Replace it with a philips head screw.
