2023.08.07 [Screw Rescue Report] Set Screw for Spline

Received an SOS for a set screw used to secure spline.

The hex socket of the M3 set screw securing the spline became stripped. Are there any suitable tools to remove this set screw? I'm a bit unsure about how to remove it...

Upon immediate checking, we utilized a Neji Mogura, or Socket Screw Extractor with a trick, and successfully rescued the situation.

*Trick of Neji Mogura

By combining the use of a drill, a Neji Mogura can remove any type of screw, not just hexagonal ones, regardless of the screw head's shape. For more details, refer to the explanation and video below.

1: Drill a pilot hole in the center of the screw head.

2: Select the appropriate size of DBZ-62/63/64/65 (2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm), which corresponds to the pilot hole (the diameter of the drill used).

3: Apply a tip of the extractor and spin it counterclockwise while pressing downward. A power screwdriver can be also used. (slower speed recommended)

2023.08.06 [Screw Rescue Report] Portable Power Supply

We received an SOS from Osaka, Minoh City about a portable power supply casing.

"The screws on the casing won't come off, so I tried drilling through the inner part to make a hole, but the screws are sturdy and won't come out. It feels like they are connected only at the base. I don't want to damage the casing, so I'd appreciate it if you could remove the screws or do something to take them out."

Immediately, we began the Screw Rescue operation.

With the help of two female university interns from Kansai University, we carefully used the Neji Mogura (Socket Screw Extractor DBZ-63) and Neji Bazooka (Rapid Screw Extractor DBZ-57) tools to avoid any impact or damage to the casing, and successfully rescued the screws.

For any screw-related troubles in the future, please rely on Neji-saurus (Screw Removal Tools) series and the Screw Rescue Team!

2023.08.04 [Screw Rescue Report] Systematic Tripod

Received a screw SOS from Tokyo, Shibuya-ku!

"So-called, it's a camera tripod, specifically known as 'GITZO GS5313GS.' When searching for it online, you'll find it. The screw was mistakenly inserted in the opposite direction it should have been, and now it's stuck."

Immediately, we received the item and successfully rescued it using the Water Pump Pliers-type Neji-saurus PZ-63 (Japan-only model).

The PZ-63 and several other models (PZ-54, 55, 57, 58, 32, 77, 78, etc.) can use not only vertical serrations but also horizontal grooves when high power is required.
