Hey there! I bought that years ago, but you can get these at any hardware store. Here’s one that popped up when I searched on Home Depot’s website: www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Klein-Kurve-Wire-Stripper-and-Cutter-11057/100352112
@@shirleydavis5060 Funny, I was just thinking about this the other day. Need to do some research into it. Thank you for the reminder! Appreciate you stopping by.
I just bought a new screw,the exact size and it feels like it's the actual handle that's stripped. Is that fixable?it's a antique one so I need to save it
Can you look inside the handle at all? I’ve glued a toothpick or two to the inside of handles in the past to create something for the screw to “catch” if the knob or handle is stripped. Basically glue them in and then break them off at the point they are coming out of the handle hole. You could probably “dry test” it too - before glueing, hold a toothpick(s) in the handle and try to screw the screw in. See if it catches.
superglue and baking soda in the handles hole. Why overcomplicate things with expensive screws? You probably have Superglue and Bakingsoda lying around the house.
Sure, could do that too. When I’ve tried that, though, it seems to work initially but doesn’t hold up over time. Could be just my experience, though. Thanks for bringing it up!
@@daddoesvideos how hard are you pulling your handles? My grandfather did this to drawers when I was 5 years old, 30 years later they still hold up very well.

Can you put the link where the wire cutter you have was purchased?

@@daddoesvideos Absolutely! Great channel: Think Media.
I tried to uninstall the knob from a bifold door and it will not move. Any suggestions?
Hey there. Are you saying you used a screwdriver and the screw won’t turn?
this is the problem I have and the video doesn't address it
Is there a screw that won’t turn?

@@daddoesvideos thank you so much I appreciate all the details and help.
No problem! Hope it works out for you!

Bottom line from this video: buy new screws. No mention if knob is stripped
@@namwilson Yeh, the knob wasn’t stripped.
You just got a new screw. No rethreading
Right. And then I cut it so it catches the pull.
