Why does nobody talk about using a credit card to fix a stripped screw?
I was trying to replace a light switch in my kitchen and the last screw was totally stripped, wouldn't budge. I was about to go buy a special extractor bit when I remembered a random forum tip. I cut a small piece from an old gift card, placed it over the screw head, and pressed my Phillips head driver in hard. It gripped perfectly and I got the screw out in like 30 seconds. Saved me a trip to the store and buying a tool I'd use once. Has anyone else found weird household items that work for stripped screws?
