7 Tips on How to Loosen a Frozen Nut, Bolt, or Screw

  • In my time as a diy'er I have come across a bolt or two (or ten) that just won't seem to budge.

    No matter what you do they are bound and determined that they are staying right where they are. Many times I have found this when trying to piece together a new project from older projects or salvaging something that others feel is junk. It amazes me what people will throw away not knowing that it still has a million uses

    That is if you can get the stupid screws loose.

    So what I have done is compile a list of ways that you can release frozen nuts, bolts and screws without spending hours yelling at the rusted out machinery sitting before you.

    So sit back grab a drink and let's look at what I do to keep things moving along.
