Default How to undo countersunk screws

Another cunning trick is to mig a reasonable size tack on each side of a hex nut, then use a standard socket while it is still warm. You have to relinish the top of the screw when finished , but at least you achieve the job. Just make sure the tack welds don't cover the slot area of the screw.
