I just stripped 2 of em attaching my stock to my gun... now I realized they are on the wrong section and tried to get em off... barelyyyyyy got 2 of em off and other 2 are fully stripped... NO way to get em off now... I tried drilling them and then using a torque screw wrench wachamacall it... nope... why the fuck would they make this stuff from such soft metals... it gets stripped SO easily. blame all of you for this

isn't this the reason that torx screws are supposed to replace these relics?

You use one of these.
they use a reverse thread that still drills into the screw the opposite direction so as it tightens into the screw, it tightens to the left, instead of the right. So it'll unscrew it. |

Have you tried shooting them off. More guns is always the solution!

Stop buying low grade crap screws! And use proper tools for screwing! (that's a free one  )

Never had a problem with them to be honest (well apart from I can never find the right bloody key for them when I need it)

Just use a proper size screwdriver the next time and try to maintain a proper 90 degree angle; no way for anything to go haywire then.

screws and keys that come in a package are low grade bulk grade they get for pennies. When I get those in a package, I throw the tool in the garbage since it's not hardened steel, take the little screws/bolts to a hardware store and buy high grade stainless ones. |
