Kryptonite For Stubborn Screws – The Shake-n-Break

50 thoughts on “Kryptonite For Stubborn Screws – The Shake-n-Break”

1. I usually don't have a problem just using my makita XDT12 impact driver.

2. Thanks man I’m getting that tool ASAP I was loooking for the name 2 months ago now I know, thank you

3. That's awesome.

4. I cannot WAIT to piss off my neighbors with with one of those fuckin things.

5. Just hit the rotor with a hammer to slightly stretch the screw then just loosen it duh

6. This damn thing is $60??? Looks like Mayhew makes a $20 alternative that might be better anyway. Looks like on the Mayhew, instead of a handle to turn it has a hex that you can turn with a wrench and instead of coming with different bits, the end is 1/2 or 3/8 square socket type so you can use whatever socket you want. A far more versatile and cheaper option.

7. Super cool trick

8. Great for brake bleeders.

9. The first time I got those screws out, after all sorts of hammering and howling, I coated them with anti-seize and put them back in. I have never had a problem since and can take them out with just a regular old screwdriver. Just a dab of anti-seize works wonders.

10. OMG! I bought this tool at a car show and forgot about it after putting it in my toolbox. Then I ran into a problem trying to loosen a ground screw for an a/c clutch. After totally stripping the Philips head ground screw with a screwdriver, I remembered having this tool. It worked like magic! I mean, M-A-G-I-C, even with the stripped slots on the screw head.

11. good for dental work, in a pinch.

12. Eric, I can always count on your instructional videos. Thanks for taking the time to make this very informative and easy to understand videos!

13. Blue Point also makes one similar to that that has a 17mm hex on it to put Wrench on to turn that’s what I use if impact driver just won’t do the Trick

14. I think this tool has a perfect application. I’ve used impact drivers with bits before and it’s not always guaranteed hey it’ll do the job and then you are out of luck and have possibly a stripped screw head. With this, from the looks, gives a much greater impacting force from the air hammer into the head of the screw and then allows you to easily turn it.

15. Have ya told SMA about that thing?

16. Thanks Eric! Great review

17. awesome, i'm getting this tool

18. i think those small screws are just for the assembly line I never put mine back on, not a problem

19. Cool man!! Thanks for da up bruh!

20. I was really interested in this, after watching the video I think my impact driver works faster than this. If its reasonably priced I might still buy it.

21. Actually broke the small dowl hand today on one of those attachments

22. That's right. Pound that filthy rust to a bloody pulp.

23. I wanna know if ETCG changed that messed up screw or reusedd it for then next guy to sort out….:-p

24. Do you ever just not put them back on lol

25. Do you put them back in or not necessary

26. Nissan probably uses jis ( japanese industrial standard ) screw head, not phillips.
    Many jis screws ruened with phillips screwdrivers.

27. Great tool but the more important question is why anyone would use a Phillips style head instead of something like a socket head cap screw!

28. That’s because it’s not a Philips screw; it’s a JIS or Japanese Industrial Standard screwdrive.
    The difference is the walls of the slots in the JIS screw head, which are parallel and which will cause the regular style Phillips screwdriver to cam out of the screw as you’re trying to turn it.

    The “corners” at the center of a Phillips head screw have a slight radius, supposedly designed to allow the Phillips head screwdriver to cam out as a sign that maximum torque had been reached.

    Also, the JIS screw head slots have a shallower depth, preventing the taller head design of a Phillips head screwdriver to properly grip the sides of the fastener .

    Use JIS tools on Japanese cars-

29. Nice tool

30. Hate those rotor bolts, had to drill so many… Thanks Eric!

31. Hyundai use these screws in Europe too, pain in the hole, that tool looks awesome, have to get Me one

32. Can I put any type of driver bit in one of those?

33. Was gonna buy one but saw it didn't come with jiggly bits…I gotta have my jiggly bits

34. I promise this wasn’t invented by some suit behind a desk

35. Not Phillips head. J.I.S. screws.

36. would this work on hex bits for guide pins? This looks awesome.

37. yawn impact driver. half the cost doesnt need air or an air hammer.

38. Dud work to an 08 civic coupe and these easily came off with a regular impact gun.. such a waste

39. Great channel, Great video

40. It’s called the Old Man. Common since WWII in aircraft plants.

41. i find a 3/8 battery gun more effective faster and easier. if by chance my battery gun doesnt cut the mustard so to say then i whip out trusty impact driver which is far better than this.

42. Im sold, Last time I did a brake job on a honda none of the screws came out. and i did all the wheels =(

43. According to me that's the most genius tool.

44. Eric, you are the man! I need this tool in my life!! I was dealing with those screws and they were a pain in the but lol!!! Thanks again!!

45. It's just not loud enough.

46. Great videos Eric but it's Nissan not neesan

47. Impact drivers do the job too

48. Amazing tool, removed my crusty rotors screws with ease!! Last time they had to be drilled out.

49. I use a tang through screwdriver (sunflag) and hit it with a hammer while twisting and get them loose. Also I'm an experienced mechanic unlike most here on youtube that like to think they are after doing brakes once on their mums honda.

50. This is an awesome tool for stubborn screws. I just wish it was 1/4 instead of 5/16 drive size. My air hammer destroys bits and next to impossible to get locally. I use it for getting the torx fasteners out of Jeep's almost daily. It's a life saver for me
