How To Get A Small Screw Out That Is Stripped?

Nowadays, the electronic products are getting smaller and smaller, and the screws with the locks on them are getting smaller and smaller. These small screws are easy to appear screw-slip/slip when they are repeatedly loosened and locked several times. How to get a small screw out that is stripped

In the past, when the screw slip problem occurred, the most common solution was to use the reverse tapping tool, but there was a chance that the screw used in the early product stayed at a relatively large size (M2.5 or higher). However, almost all of the screws of electronic products have already been M2.5 or less. To be honest, for these screws below M2.5, as long as the screw head slips, it is impossible to find the reverse screw tap.

Moreover, many of the steps and methods that have been combined with the wisdom of the predecessors seem to be unsuitable for use on the small screw heads here. When they have encountered screw slips, they have to be disassembled and cannot damage the product. How to get a small screw out that is stripped?

In fact, the method of solving the small screw head sliding is very simple, and can’t guarantee 100%, but most of them are effective. Go to the hardware store to buy a water-stop tape/stop tape for the plumber. The general terminology of the plumber is called fine-grained patch or patch-in-the-medium.

Most people will teach you to use anti-slip cloth, silicone rubber, double-sided tape, broadband rubber bands and other items to increase the friction between the screwdriver head and the screw head, but the above materials are not easy to find, otherwise it is not suitable to find . Because the screws of electronic products are very small, the above materials have a certain thickness, which is not suitable for small screw heads. Therefore, the use of the fine-grained patch for the plumber is thin enough to meet the small screws of the electronic product, and the friction generated by it is better than most of the above materials, and is almost the most suitable material so far.

Cut a small piece according to the size of the screw head. Generally, it is enough to cut a length of 10~20mm below M2.5.

Then fold the fine-fit patch as needed, M2.5 is folded about twice, M1.2 can be folded or folded once, and the smaller the screw head, the less it needs to be folded, because the thicker the fold, the less the head and the screw The head bites.

Place the folded fine-in patch on top of the already-sliding screw head and cover the screw head.

Take the appropriate screwdriver and screw it down counterclockwise according to the original method. You can not use the electric screwdriver. Remember that the downward force is heavier than usual, so that the friction will increase, and the screw can be removed. No, try to increase or decrease the number of times the patch is folded repeatedly. Remember to screw it down and harden the screwdriver. Remember that the main purpose of the fine-grained patch is to increase the friction between the screwdriver and the screw head. The less the screw head groove is worn away, the higher the chance of success. If the screw head has been broken, it becomes a circular groove. The chances of success will become quite low.

Generally speaking, in most cases, the screws can be screwed down. Of course, it is not 100%. how to get a small screw out that is stripped? If you have a better way, welcome to ask. Or you want to consult the screw knowledge, please feel free to consult: annie.li@szsst88.com
