I'd argue that, if you have to put a wrench on the screwdriver to get the screw loose, especially a Phillips-head, you're going to round out the head. I'd drop back to one of those gizmos that you strike with a hammer.

Might be dangerous, tho. Use with caution. DO NOT USE AS A JACK STAND.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. I know I have no problem stripping a screw head. I sure don’t need a wrench to help!!

yeah, I'm always happy to find torx, etorx or hex cap fasteners on vehicles, rather than regular slotted or phillips-head.

Got my Topsy bits and was all ready to setup the Lange lift when I found I don't have a long enough bolt to hook up the cross bar to the lift.

:facepalm:
My projects almost always result in one or two trips to the Home Depot!

It's inevitable. :CWL:
At least a couple Jeep parts projects (LOD signature sliders for instance), where you're supposed to get all the hardware with the part, have resulted in a bolt-fetching trip to HD.

Well that's a bummer.

Glad you got out, but I am hoping to join you sooner rather than later. So need to get out. lol
Looking forward to wheeling with you two. Let us know when you head on up. Tons of people already camping in the high country
