Default Tip for removing stripped screws

Richcosta wrote:

Hi,

Any creative tips for removing screws whose heads have nothing to
catch? These are neither regular or Phillips Head screws. They have
a special bit, kind of in the shape of a square. Anyway, the inside
of the head is now a round, smooth circle.

Any ideas for removing them would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


so where are you? Robertson screws we got here in Canada.
There is or are extractor bits available in varying sizes
depending on the screwhead which when you turn them left
(like unscrew) byte into the head and unscrew or loosen
the screw
