You have to see the power of a Twelve. Thousand. RPM. Grinder. To understand.? It cuts through anything.? It turns anything to dust.? You hit the head of a screw with it sending a 2 foot spray of sparks, and within 10 seconds the screw is gone, and your back yard is full of a cloud of dust.? The most fun tool in the toolbox.? The guys understand this. :-)

H ow in the heck does that get a flat head screw out?
Hello Kathryn:
I can't pull out many rusted fasteners for many reasons: rusted, head damaged and poor access. My go-to tool is an angle grinder:
?$12! They are a bit fearful to use at first with all the sparks flying around, but they do work and don't take a lot of force. I also use this grinder to smooth off screw points that stick through and could really be dangerous.
Carl.

Thanks all. Still working on it. My proble is brute force non existing. Cannot take metal screws out of the cross beams. Likely will try a repair myself with a cobbling together of all your ideas.? It will certainly not be as good.?
