Stripped screws? No problem

| Using a screw extractor You know you'll need it. Just buy one |
By Dana Blouin, a Field Editor from Broadview Heights, OH. He wired up his house with CAT5e so he could put all his connected media devices on a separate network.
"A stripped screw can turn a 10-minute fix into a two-hour nightmare. One of the best investments I've made is the screw extraction kit I bought last summer. It came with three different size bits and cost me about $20. I've already used it several times. One side of the extractor bit reams a hole into the screw, and the other side has reverse threads that dig into the screw as you turn it out."
