Clem Henry:
Hey Dante,

Can you post a pic of the screw head? might be recoverable....

Clem Henry:
It looks ok..you need to choose a bit that fits the screw head well, dont rush it..I assume the handle is off the reel, spray the inside of the knob with a penertrant and set it aside for a few hours.

When you try again you need to apply significant downward pressure to the driver whilst you turn the handle...may need someone to assist. The downward pressure will minimise the chance of further stripping the screw head. Apply as much pressure as you can until it turns or until it feels like it is going to slip.

You may need to change the bit size depending on the pressure you can apply...the penertrant will help, just take you time with it and it should be fine.

 :)

dante green:
Thanks mate! ;)


cheers
