Bolt Question - Sticky nuts problem
<< < (4/4)
zzsprade:
You guys seriously amaze me with how ingenius some of the ways you come up to do things.

I am sorry I haven't responded sooner... I was a little caught up with something this week.

Tomorrow I will sit down and have a go at some of everyone's suggestions to see how they work. Fingers crossed.

It was also suggested to me this week to try an Ezy Out if anyone has ever heard of them. That may be the Australian name but essentially a pilot hole is drilled into the head of a bolt and the ezy out is 'gently screwed inside'. As it features a reverse thread you can just screw the bolt out. A bit of an overkill if you ask me compared to some of the ways you guys have come up with.

I don't think those will work in this specific case. Either way, EZ-outs aren't exactly cheap.
NightGod:
A $8 nut splitter would take 1/3rd the time and have none of the risk and frustration of all the other suggestions, but feel free to ice skate uphill if ya feel the need to...
spystyle:
I've never heard of that, but I found one for less than $8 shipped

But if he has the means to use one of the mentioned methods it would be quicker than going out and buying a nut splitter.

I speak on behalf of the microwave generation, we want it in 2 mins!

Cheers,
Craig

Very interesting. I've never seen standard screwdriver type screw removers. Unfortunately, shipping would be $6.99, and it would still take 8 days at that price. Not so fast, my friend!
