Title: What should I do if I don't have a tool to remove screws? Teach you 2 tricks to easily remove all types of screws
In plumbing and water repair work, screwing is one of the most common tasks. However, sometimes we may encounter an embarrassing situation where we do not have the corresponding tools to remove the screws. Don't worry, today I will teach you two tricks to easily solve the problem of removing screws without tools.
The first trick: use temporary alternative tools
Sometimes, we don't have a specialized screwdriver or wrench, but our surroundings may provide some temporary alternatives. For example, a knife, a pair of scissors, a pair of pliers, etc., these seemingly inconspicuous tools can come in handy in an emergency.
I once met a client who had a loose faucet screw, but I didn't have a screwdriver on hand. In desperation, I found a knife in the client's kitchen. Although it is not a professional tool, I took a closer look and found that the shape of the blade of this knife is very similar to the groove of the screw. So, I carefully replaced the screwdriver with a knife and removed the faucet for repairs.
In this case, all we have to do is make the most of the resources around us, look for temporary alternative tools, and make sure that they are used safely so that they do not cause unnecessary harm.
The second trick: use the principles of physics
In addition to utilizing temporary replacement tools, we can also use physical principles to solve the problem of removing screws without tools. Among them, the most common method is to use the principle of leverage.
The principle of leverage tells us that by acting on leverage, it is possible to overcome a larger resistance with less force. In the process of removing screws, we can use this principle to solve the problem by finding the right lever point.
For example, once I went to repair a customer's water pipe, but the screws on the pipe were so tight that I couldn't turn it with the wrench I had on hand. In desperation, I suddenly thought of using the principle of leverage. So, I found a long pole and inserted it into the handle of the wrench to form an extension lever. By increasing the length of the lever, I was able to unscrew the screw and successfully complete the repair task.
When using the lever principle, we need to pay attention to two points: one is to choose the right lever point to make the force transmission more effective, and the other is to be careful to avoid damaging the screws or surrounding equipment due to excessive force.
In maintenance work, it is normal to encounter a situation without tools. However, as long as we make good use of the resources around us and make use of the principles of physics, we can easily solve all kinds of difficult problems. I hope the above two tips can help everyone, so that we can be more comfortable in maintenance work and easily cope with various challenges!
