DAP Tank Bond Liquid Grip, .2 Oz (7079800177)

I wish i would have found this product much sooner. It definitely helps in keeping screws from stripping or at removing stripped screws. This thing would have saved me hours of time had I found it sooner.

works as intended , does add more grip though increased friction .it does not preform miracles , if their is no surface to apply friction to then it will do nothing "can't magically add material that's no longer their with some magic goop".Only negative thing is price / how small the tube is , wish they had bigger tubes at a lower cost per oz.

Had my doubts b4 using it to work with stripped screws or ultra hard wood installs.It was miraculous! Half a drop and the screwdriver's grip was 5x stronger. Not one failure. Started to use it preemptively when doing a project of multiple screws that you know will be problematic... This avoids the stripping from the get go.I have already re-ordered my 2d tube because it works so well.

This didn't work at all anytime I attempted to remove even partially stripped screws.

If you’re trying to get a screw out of wood but the head is partially stripped or you don’t have the exact drive bit, this stuff can save the day.

I am putting together a solid pine dresser flatpack. I am a short old mom with diminishing hand strength and an overload of determination. I don't have any helpers and only modest tools and a crap drill. Some of the pieces had predrilled holes and I could handle those pretty easily with a screwdriver until my hand started to get sore. Also, the ones that are angle-set I could only drive the screw maybe halfway before the screwdriver would slip and I was worried the head would strip. Plus my hand was very sore on those and starting to form a blister.I was too far into the project to scrap it and it's too expensive to hire someone so I had to figure this out. I watched a YouTube that showed this tank weld and another video that greased their screws or the pilot hole. I did both of those hacks....WAY better and more successful! Certain angles are still a little tough but still sooo much better. I applied the tank weld right upfront if the angle was bad. Didn't wait to almost strip the head. It works better if you use just enough and not flood the indention.I took one star away because the tube is small and plastic and the liquid shoots out if you aren't careful. I don't think theres much product in ther either. It's kind of a thin gel (?) with metal bits suspended in it. It doesn't exactly dry or get hard. I just used my finger to wipe it up and prep a few screw heads.Someone stronger or with a proper drill/driver wouldn't need to use this product except in those nearly stripped situations. I don't know how it would do on a fully stripped head. I could see it not being effective in some situations. The key is to pay attention and use this before it gets that bad. I will definitely keep some of this on hand. And greasing the screws is brilliant! I didn't have machine grease so I used a little WD40 i had on hand. The screws went in like butter. My sore hand is appreciative. Highly recommend including these as part of a toolbox gift for new homeowners and novice weekend warriors.

Gripped so hard that the driver didn’t want to disengage from the screw I put into the wall. Works like a dream. I sometimes apply it on a fresh screw before I begin driving it into a wall just to ensure the screw and driver don’t slip.

It worked on 7 out of 12 screws I had to remove, and 5 of the Phillips heads stripped out. The screws were old and rusted, but I had soaked them with penetrating oil 10 minutes prior to removing them. Although it stripped the screw heads, the screwdriver bit was not damaged. I have used this on non-rusted screws and it works fine. I noticed there is less chance of screwdriver bit slippage when using this on screw heads.
