    How to remove a stripped screw from this chair?

    Hey guys, I did it! I wanted to thank you all for participating and helping me. The price goes to mattylad. I used a 3mm flat head screwdriver. But it was a tad too small. 4mm may have been better. I had to be very careful going at a very low speed. The funny part is I went to Wickes...

    How to remove a stripped screw from this chair?

    No, it doesn't have to come out. It has just to go in. This is a solid idea. I'll try that. Thanks

    How to remove a stripped screw from this chair?

    Thank you. I have a reverse drill already. Could I just reverse it with a usual drill bit into it? Probably not... And if I bought the left-hand drill bits, do I then reverse or simply drill as usual?

    How to remove a stripped screw from this chair?

    Hi, I don't really do a lot of DIY jobs, but I have some tools and get the job done if needed. I have recently purchased these dining chairs from Made.com and had big trouble assembling it. I made a mistake picking a screwdriver that wasn't large enough. My drill has ruined one of the screws...
