I've been rebuilding vintage vacuums for a few years now (mostly Kirby, Electrolux, Compact, and Rainbow) and it's not unusual to come across a frozen screw. So I've learned on certain models to go immediately to my Impact Driver (e. g. Kirby wheel screws and bearing plate screws).
But on occasion, a screw head gets stripped. That's especially true with slotted screws. So what is one to do?!?!
I've tried various methods, but with limited results. That is until I across this little tool! It works like a charm every time. I'm sure most of you rebuilders already knew about this tool. But I sure am glad I came across it!
There's one for slotted screws and one for Phillips head screws too. Just a few taps into the screw head to seat the tool, then turn! It's worked every time I've ever used it!
