Help Opening drills.

I bought 2 Challange drills to use in my first robot,but cannot get the screws out from behind the chuck. Yes, I do know its a reverse screw :P
The screw just wont budge.

Are they the 9.6v drills? If so, i use them in Mr happy, probably just a very tight screw- try harder to un-do it.

Just watch out you dont chew the head of the screw though before you get it out - I did that with my first drill (it was also really tight) and I ended up having to hacksaw the shaft in half to get the chuck off because the head was completely chewed and wouldnt turn. Ive learned my lesson now though :)

A hack saw eh?
Think Ive found a solution :P

or drill it out, then you still have the shaft to mount wheels on.

how do I drill them out? You mean with a screwdriver bit?

Try smacking the chuck with a hammer for a while then try unscrewing again - it works sometimes hehe

This is why you should buy them pre-stripped :wink:

A hammer eh? Il Give it a try :S

Lol, nice subtle advertisement there Ewan :)

Yeh :P
If I drill this screw out,then how can I attatch a wheel?
