Hey all. I`ve been thinking for a while about repurposing a horrible bookcase into some shelves, but upon close inspection the screws are all stripped at the head. How would we suggest removing them? I have a rather basic toolkit at my disposal.

I used to use Easy out.
These new screw extractors may work better.
Just need to drill out a hole, and something that grips into the screw with a left hand pitch.

when i said easy out I was using the term interchangeably with the generic term for the tool which you seek which is a screw extractor. The mechanics I work with just call them easy-outs regardless of brand.

You might be able to borrow someones set if you know anyone with tools: mechanic, carpenter, etc.

I know a handful of guys with that kinda stuff, I was working in renovation for a while. Worst case I rip the whole pile of garbage apart by hand and just cut off the shredded ends. :ROFLMAO:

If you got a Dremel, cut a standard screwdriver slot in the top and have at it. Just had the same problem recently.

Take a 1/8 and then 3/16 drill bit to,it. The heads should come off. Then, using a wood block, hammer off the vertical board from the shelves. Use vice grips to get the screw,shanks out of,the shelf ends

Looks like a lot of them are square drive that someone has hogged with a philips.

Have you tried a square drive on them yet? Usually still works even after hogging with a philips...

Be careful to get the right size. Then set the bit into the hole carefully, and tap it in there. Should work.

If not the dremel to make a slot will work.

This is the only way you're getting those screws out. Its frikken WOOD guys.

Andrew, Make them into a flat screwdriver slot and press hard on a good screwdriver ...back them out..

Easyouts work in machinery/machine bolts...and not at all well in that application.

I've used them succesfully with wood screws. Just can't fly at 'er hair straight back. YMMV.
