I'm just starting to redo my kitchen and was working on taking down the first wall cabinets today when I immediately found a problem. It looks like whoever hung the old cabinets hammered the slot on the screw heads closed.Picture hereI tried using a chisel to kind of open up the head a little bit, then hammered a screw driver in to make sure it was set deep as possible and used a wrench to help turn it, but the head was stripping after a quarter turn. I figure the process of beating the slot open with a chisel weakened the screw.My other idea is to use a multi tool to try to recut the screw head, and I'm going to try that tomorrow, but I worry about the blade jumping around and making everything worse.Anybody have any other ideas? Or am I screwed?Also, anybody know why the fuck? I mean seriously, who makes it so you can't remove a screw? via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2UJQFxA
