This is a random question due to my frustration at the moment doing home DYI, why of why any when doing any thing with screws do the groves on the head of the screw always break before i get the screw fully flush and end up with a screw have sticking out 😡

Uh oh Luke. Are you screwed!?

Haha very funny

I've had this happen with some Phillips head screws. I wound up using a different brand of screwdriver and that seemed to fix it. My guess was that tip was too hard and the screw too soft, so it wound up stripping the screwhead. Don't know if that's a sound reason, but I have noticed a differnce

Wider phillips head bits - quality ones - will help with this issue. The narrower bits will slip every rotation. It's also why I have an extractor set on hand. Saved my ass a few times working on my car.

extractor set?

thanks i may need to invest in that

Well, for that you could just use a wrench. My guess is that you didn't pre-drill those holes? That's a must for that large a diameter. Also look like softer screws.

yep i did prre drill

I threw out almost all my phillips screws in favor of T25 screws.

Those would be my second choice behind square drives. Zero chance you're stripping one of those compared to any other with a thin edge.

lol will need to google T25 and square drivers 🙂 i'm such a novice at DIY

Square is less common, unless you're buying deck screws. That's why having a quality set of bits and a nice drill goes a long way.

What tool are you using?

I was using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O16UPM

Ok but what kind of power tool were you using?

You can't use a power tool on that, it'll just strip the screw.

Don't they have screw extractors in the USA?

That's what we were talking about earlier, but then I kinda went on a rant about a related topic, lol. Rotor screws are in a different boat, IME.

@Nick Panaccio tbf I've found a husband to be the most effective DiY tool to use!

Well, I am the husband, so...

You probably aren't pre-drilling with a large enough bit. Its hard to eyeball and people tend to go too small for fear of making the hole too big for the screw to byte. Your best bet is to use a test piece of wood trying to find a largest bit possible without going too large.
