Is this guy trying to be the new Billy Mays?

[AsktheBuilder]

@Pugslee3 Nope. I was doing this before Billy got famous. He copied me. :->

[brianvelasquez]

Does this really work or is this just a ad trying to hustle us?

[AsktheBuilder]

@brianvelasquez It absolutely works. Talk to any repair person. Go buy a set. If you don't like them, get your money back.

im trying to open my xbox 360 but i stripped my screws they are verry small will it work? and how much does this cost?

[Drummer17Dude1]

so many times this was needed.. Yet I don't have one

[fuzzyrhino5]

@AsktheBuilder wait any size?

[WildeTanteAnna]

@WalkinfGish Take a normal S2 Bit an scharpen counterclockwise the edges. Remove a bit of the piont of these bit,so that it can go deeper into the screw. Then put this bit back into the bitholder and put this bit into the damaged screw.

Turn it slowly counter clockwise. (It works better as this thing.) I´ve worked with this bit and it is great.

See "Genrauchsmuster Nr:296 16 972.2 from Febr.13th 1997 Made by Rob Arkeveld. A Dutch Aircraftmechanic.

[WildeTanteAnna]

The original idee was developed from a dutch aircraftmechanic. He made screwdriverbits with a angel counter clockwise on it. (The get the screws out of a sealed frontwindow of the Fokker F-27.) Gebrauchsmusternr: 296 16 972.2 from 13.02.1997.
