Post Din571 Hexagon head wood screws are surprisingly strong

When you are up next to the ceiling you can use a drill driver jig to twist in the Lag Screw . This is the method used when you only have a few screws to install and you are already going to be on a ladder or scissor lift.

In summary, eye lag screws are surprisingly strong and versatile whether you are fastening to a wooden joist or metal decking.The eye of the screw is a 3/16" hole punched in the flattened area. The flat end is used to twist the screw in. Screws designed for wood applications are about three inches long and have about an inch and a half of coarse threads that taper to a sharp point; there is no need to pre-drill a pilot hole.

Chemical removal: Let a chemical like Coke, Pepsi, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, etc. soak into the screw hole. Sometimes tapping the screw as you apply chemical solution allows for deeper penetration and easier extraction. Let chemical sit, and try to turn/release screw.

With Force/Impact: Make certain you have the right size screwdriver. If you can move the screw at all, try to tighten it. This will break the screw free and you should then be able to reverse the screw out. If the screw's head is sticking up, grab it with a pair of vice grips or pliers and turn it loose that way.

If the screw's head is not elevated, put your screwdriver in the screw's head sockets, lock onto the screwdriver shaft with your vice grips, and while pressing down on the screwdriver, try turning the vice grips. The extra leverage may be enough to loosen the screw. Lightly tapping your screwdriver with a hammer while it is inserted into the screws head may also release it.

Hot/Cold: Before trying heat and cold methods, be sure the material around your stuck screw can withstand the temperature difference. To expand the hexagon head wood screws , heat it up with a butane or propane torch. You might also use a hot glue gun (without glue), or a soldering iron. Once the screw has cooled, the expansion should allow you the room to reverse the screw out.
