Drive Grip - a uk alternative...

Well that was actually quite an interesting read. I've never experienced the problem before, so, don't see any need for the stuff, but, interesting all the same.

I bought some really expensive screw drivers the other day from the trade point bargain bin - which the guy then put an extra 50% off for me for some reason - got to say, having a good quality screw driver makes a big difference to screwing... (for once bigger is not always better... )

Another vote for that Wera screwdriver set. For medium priced tools they're really good. They're very grippy and hardly ever push themselves out of the recess in the head of the screw. The tips of mine are getting a little worn now but they've done me proud.

This is not for a screw its for getting the ACE filter out of my d2
This is held in place with a steel allen head bolt which has likely 'rusted' into the aluminium ACE block.
If the head 'rounds off' the resolution might be really difficult.

So I'm agreeing with urbanpanzer I want it to work first time.

I'm also thinking about using it on the 32mm hub nut as my hero u.p. suggests using a 1-1/4" AF hex socket when all I have at that size is a bi-hex 32mm one.

I just want these things to come off first time

Nothing wrong with newspaper, when I was a child my Monday evening job was to cut the 'News of the World' into small squares, then bash a nail through the lot and nail back on the wall of the crapper. There was enough arsepaper in the 'News of the World' to last a week (it was full of **** anyway), oh happy days
