How do I remove a broken screw?

There are actually various methods for removing a broken screw:

  • Method 1: Screw Extractor - These special tools are designed to grip into the metal of the screw while being turned clockwise, thereby pulling the screw out of the material. Make sure you use the correct size screw extractor to achieve the best result.
  • Method 2: Using Pliers - If part of the screw is still visible, grip it with pliers and turn the screw counterclockwise to remove it.
  • Method 3: Using a Small Flat Chisel - With a small flat chisel, you can cut a slot into the broken screw. Tap carefully and evenly to make the slot deep enough for a screwdriver.
  • Method 4: Welding a Nut onto the Broken Screw - This method requires welding skills. Weld a nut onto the end of the broken screw and then turn the nut out with pliers or a wrench.

Choose the method that best suits your specific scenario.
