Bill's a bloody legend. Dude has a solution to everything!

The fact that you showed five different ways to get these out shows that one-way screws are an excellent invention. No, they do not completely stop thieves (they watch YouTube too) but they slow them down significantly. That said, this is the BEST video on the issue, kudos!

The center punch hack is ingenious. Thanks a bunch for sharing. for anyone searching - tiny 'clutch head one way screws' - are used on the older Cooler Master Seidon 120 AIO. It occurred to me that if you had a spot welder you might also be able to weld something to grip and turn the screw head.

Thanks Bill. This saved me several hours of intense frustration removing 30 of the bloody things from locks on the windows of a house I've just moved into. The hacksaw method seemed easiest but the screws were recessed and I was feeling lazy so I modified your method by using a Dremel rotary grinding disc to make a screwdriver slot in the screw. would not have thought of this without your inspiration. Thanks again.

Extra credit: use a Dremel with a cutting wheel attachment to cut a slot (like when using the hacksaw) for a flat-head screwdriver. It also works for stripped screw heads!

Thanks for the video!

I used a angle grinder with one of those thin metal cutters to make a slot... Thanks bill again... You're a legend!

Thank you so much. New house and one of the window openers was busted. I bought a replacement and then realised these screws had been used. Lifesaver.

I never heard of these and bought new license plate bolts, which were these, and bought multiple tools claiming to take these bolts out and none of them worked. Will use these methods. Thank you

Thanks mate. Years ago there was an outbreak of car number plate theft in Sydney, so I bought some of these to make it harder for the thief. Now I'm selling the car and I want to keep the plates. Wish me luck. 😉

The center punch idea is genius! Worked a lot easier than I thought. Thanks!

[KSAalto]

You saved our front door! Thank you! Couldn’t get the deadbolt out to rekey it and this worked so well! Thanks for your knowledge and time!

Had never even heard of this center punch thing.... But it saved my day after I learned about it here. Thanks.

This video was incredibly helpful. I genuinely appreciate the fact that you gave multiple options - all of which seem legitimate - as going into a job with only one way to do it is always a recipe for frustration. Thank you.

You saved me a ton of time. I had to remove 6 of these unmentionable fasteners. WD-40 and using a chisel and hammer to tap counter-clockwise did it for me.

[michaelhansen]

Used the Dremel wheel down the center instead of hacksaw + Chisel today. Thanks! Saved me a ton of time.

Just today, JUST TODAY, I unwittingly bought a four pack of these screws (#8-32x1") at The Home Depot. Thank goodness for this video.

[fionaomeara]

So grateful Bill. We bought a house and were left without keys to French door patio bolts. With one way screws. I took it really slowly and used your fork trick. Brilliant, Cheers mate.

[riorococo]

Thank you so freakin much! I needed to replace a 30+ yr old deadbolt screwed on with these damn things and had no idea how to get them out. Then I found your vid. I tried the center punch and IT WORKED! Had the deadbolt off in 30 min (with a couple bloody knuckles from my hand slipping). Would never had thought of that in a million years. Thank you ❤️

[gekisou]

You dear sir are a god send. Thanks to your video, we were able to get the screw out and fix a problem with our deadlock. Hats off mate.

[amycatalino]

Thank you for posting! And for giving various methods. Had an old storm door I needed to replace that was screwed on with these one way screws - took some time but ultimately was a success!
