Stripped Screw – No Problem

So the other day I was challenged with a stripped screw that was holding a plate on the bottom of a jacuzzi tub faucet.  My frustration was building after trying various sized screwdrivers and not having a screw out tool handy.

For some reason, I remembered that I had a Foxfire SCBA band in my backpack.  My new plan was to use the Fox Fire band to fill the gap of the stripped out screw head and hopefully get a bite.

You’ll have to try it to see for yourself, but it worked.  Afterwards, I thought, with all the firefighters putting these bands on helmets, it might be a good tip to pass on.  Most of us use screwdrivers on a daily basis and occasionally run into this dilemma.
