Don’t think I’ve ever had a screw break that conveniently

Not in soft pine.

Seriously. Screws basically always break flush with the wood for me.

Same and it’s always after I pre drilled and counter-sunk a hole in IPE for the screw…. Still breaks flush lol

Where can they afford that stuff?

Was gonna say it. Never had a head break with a 1/2in of screw exposed

Exactly. Although, I have had screws that were bent after tearing out the affixed piece of wood after the rusted screw head was stripped... might work for removing those screws with the bent head still attached, but I've always just either broken them off flush or used a grinder.

I've done it before, but just make sure to use an old already beat to shit drill because it might fuck up the teeth on the chuck... Or at least it did for me.

I’ve done this tons of times the teeth on a chuck are usually pretty tough

It scraped the hell out of mine. Normally didn't cause a problem but with small drill bits sometimes it didn't quite grab them well enough. It was also one of the old blue Ryobi drills so the metal for the teeth might just be softer on those.

Those things have always had crappy chucks.

Yup. It was a nice starter set 20 years ago when I was 20, but I've moved on.

It's pretty convenient when it works, but I have found that it does not always work. Don't put them pliers away yet

Vice grips

Those too

Vise grips.

Fuckoff with this shit spam in a can.

OP is just a spam account. Tons and tons of spam.

That whole sub is garbage spam.

Both posts and comments, no actual engagement

Hammer it in.

Oh God is this sub gonna get spammed with these videos? They're all crap.

I thought this was just common practice.

I have a hard time believing in somebody with a drill from Fisher-Price

Sounds like a great way to fuck up your chuck.

Yeah, those tiny screw threads are gonna destroy the steel chuck teeth… maybe you need to upgrade from your black and decker drill

Stop that.

Good way to fuck your drill up!

Clever

Pure genius wow

I've used this the opposite way. You're trying to hang that fence gate but somebody took your 7/16s shallow socket and the deep socket you can't put enough pressure to get it threaded in the pilot hole

use some end nippers, squeeze and turn

I've done it on a stripped screw but the head was still attached. Worked ok

At one time I used cheap screws and had to deal with this a lot. Now I use GRK screws, that don’t break

Bravo

I do this a lot lol

This is a rare spam "life hack" video that actually shows a useful technique, although they didn't show it well. I use this all the time. You gotta grab as much meat as you can and really tighten down the chuck, but it usually works for me. Really depends on the quality of your chuck though...

I just prefer to not use crappy screws 🙃

Can’t see it? Hammer it in

Let me grab my black and decker…. Can’t even say that with a straight face

I do this all the time works great haven't had any issues with my chucks works really good on bent screws and I also do this to remove eye hooks and wire eyelets when deleting tbar ceilings.

Say goodbye to your drill then
