Is it just spinning and not coming out? The threads are already gone

Continue to 'unscrew' it while prying up with another object

>>1598210
Its not spinning at all. It seems i cant get enough torque with it being stripped. Ill try your suggestion

>>1598208
You could try vise grips, twist and pull at the same time. And that gunk is food, and e. coli, and listeria, and salmonella; and that's why a good health inspector starts with the can opener when they show up for an inspection. They never get cleaned.

Heat the outside up with a torch then try to turn the screw out. Heat is your friend.

I cant get anything underneath the screw to pry it. I also cant get a good hold on it with the vice grip. Its worth noting that i have replacement screws, so if theres a solution that involves destroying the screw i would be open to it. Thanks for the help so far.

>>1598221
Weld a bolt onto the screw to give more torque

>>1598221
Cut a better notch into the screw.

Alright i dont have the materials i need here at work but im sure one of these suggestions will work. Ill make an update post when i get it out. Thanks fellas.

>>1598250
Can you twist what looks like a plate under the screw you're trying to take out, and pull up in that as you twist your driver counterclockwise?

>>1598208
WD-40, hit it with a non-metal mallet a bunch. Then use flathead sideways to get max torque. You're welcome.

His screw head is not at all stripped. He needs a minus screwdriver that's the right size

Literally dealt with this in the kitchen i work with last week. Its good that you were able to get one screw off. If you can knock the small plate between the blade and the screw it will help. Using the blade without one of the screws help loosen it up as well. Our crew at work put the fucking thing through the dishwasher to clean it every night. Its the reason why it got rusted shut. Be sure to tell your crew not to run it through the dishwasher as is. They need to disassemble it before running the aluminum part through. Sanitize the blade and cog and be sure to dry thoroughly before putting it back together. Our can opener cog rusted shut so bad that we had to buy a new one. Inspect the cog teeth and blade from time to time. Kitchens are notorious for not up keeping equipment properly

These things are so stupid to have around your kitchen. Literally a code violation they sell to restaurants. It creates physical contaminants and is rarely cleaned after each use which is standard procedure.

13 replies in and nobody has mentioned left hand threads?

>>1598612
What reason would there be to have left hand threads on this equipment?

>>1598619

>minus screwdriver

oh i didnt even look at the picture i thought he meant the screw in the center of the cutting wheel

>>1598478
It's a flat head or slotted screwdriver you mong.

>>1598684
This guy wins the internets.

Who the hell fixes their wageslave equipment at the restaurant for good goy points? you`re still a felon and a drug addict that doesnt know what an impact screw driver is and even if you did your boss doesnt care beyond its a cheaper way to prostitute you. There will be no good goy points to be won here. Just stop trying or get a better job.

>>1599842
Did you really miss the thread where this was voted the next big meme for /diy/, you mong? Try to keep up, Cletus.

>"hey boss, this tool is dull and it's making my job very hard"
>"does it affect me or the money I make? No? Then deal with it yourself"

option a: fix it and make your job easier
option b: don't fix it and continue to work harder than you should for the same wage
option c: quit the job just because of dull tool

if you choose option b then you are a cuck, if you choose option c then this is probably the 5th job you've had this year and fuck it, let's see if we can hit job 10 before next year

>>1598208
jesus, that thing is disgustingly filthy gross looking

you actually open cans of food with that and serve it to people?

looks like its been used to scrape grunge off the bathroom floor

>>1598208

and smash the hell out of it

If you can get the back of the blade of a butter knife in there, holding it tightly in the screw's slot with the thumb and index of one hand, and push at the end of the handle with the other, you should have enough leverage to turn it a 1/16 of a turn, and then it will be loose.
-t. Guy who's too lazy when fixing stuff near or in the kitchen to go fetch tools downstairs.

Also watch this video:
[The ABCs of hand tools]
In this 1945 Disney cartoon we learn about Primitive Pete, Disney's imagined inventor of the hammer. The film was made for mechanics in the Armed Forces, who, like Primitive Pete, might not employ the proper technique with their hand tools—hammers, pliers, wrenches, saws, and so on. So here's 30 minutes of detailed instructions (for the most part, actually very practical and useful) on how to use hand tools. Don't be a Primitive Pete! Learn about hand tools! Don't abuse the peen end of a hammer! Be a civilized human, for a change! (Brought to you by General Motors.)

Seven minutes in. There is a better design of flathead screwdriver that doesn't cam out.
Basically the tip is a bit wider right towards the end instead of narrowing all the way.

That's why dad's screwdriver always fit every screw and I could never get one that worked that good.

>>1604294
Huh. I was told never to use the sides of a standard grinding wheel. Seems they didn't have an objection to that back in the day. Maybe they made the wheels differently back then?

i am also having problems with a screw. i tried putting cooking oil but it isnt enough

>>1604990
what the fuck dude
