How To Take Out The Nut If It Slips And Doesn’t Come Off?

In our lives, we often encounter some small troubles, such as the screw cap slipping and not screwing off. As a professional fastener manufacturer, Xinchi is happy to share what methods we can try to solve the problem when this happens.

Method 1: Increase friction

First, we can try to increase the friction between the screw cap and the screwdriver. A piece of rubber band or tape can be used to firmly tie the screwdriver and screw cap together, which can increase the force and reduce the possibility of sliding. At the same time, you can also try to clamp the body of the screwdriver with pliers to provide extra strength.

Method 2: Heat the screw cap

Sometimes, the screw cap may be difficult to loosen due to reasons such as fastening agents. At this time, we can try to heat the screw cap with fire. Please note that only heat the screw cap slightly, do not let it completely discolor or deform because high temperatures may cause damage to the screw cap.

Method 3: The use of lubricants

If the screw cap is very tight or has rusted, a good way is to use a lubricant. A lubricant or spray can be selected, applied to the screw cap and gently rotated several times. The function of the lubricant is to reduce the friction between the surfaces, making it easier for the screw cap to turn.

Method 4: Put a slip stop

Another simple method is to place an anti-slip object, such as a rubber ring, rubber pad or tape, between the screw cap and the screwdriver. This can increase the contact area between the screw cap and the screwdriver, reducing the possibility of slipping.

Method 5: Get Professional Help

If none of the above can solve the problem, we can consider seeking professional help. You can consult the relevant industry personnel or maintenance service center for their advice and help. Professionals usually have more experience and tools to solve these problems.

Summary: When we encounter the problem that the screw cap can’t be screwed off, we can try to increase the friction, heat the screw cap, use lubricants, put a slip stop, or seek professional help. I hope the above methods help you solve this problem and complete your repair work.
