  • Undoing cross head wood screws..

    I have to remove some cupboard doors but the flat headed screws holding the hinges in have a very shallow cross head.

    I can get a flat screwdriver to engage (just) and have taken a couple out but I can see myself trashing some screw heads.

    Will a manual impact driver be useful just to get the screw loosened and moving half a turn and then it should be easier using a normal flat head screwdriver?

  • Have you got a photo of the screw heads?
    The only problem with a manual impact driver (I assume you mean the ones you hit with a hammer) is that the impact may not be great for the cupboardā€™s integrity.
