Review on πŸ”© 4-Pack Tamper-Proof Screw Repair Kit by Josh Endricko

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great, but in my opinion the product has a small design flaw.

At this price I was surprised to find that the small screws have wood screw like threads and even knurled threads to 'bite' into the wood. Design flaws because: - the wood thread is wider with a large pitch so as not to tear the wood and have a better connection. In this case, when entering the metal fastener, the thread can be much stronger, and the seller can remove it " do not overtighten " commented, the risk of thread breakage would be much less - notch (small notch at the end of the thread so that the thread can cut through the wood better) -> this helps with wood but in this case it's the other way around -> it allows thread damage if not fully stripped and I just had such a case with my order -> one of the four small screws had some defect in that recess and I couldn't screw it more than halfway into the big screws or it would probably ruin the threads I replaced it with a metal screw (same thread size and head but not cut) and everything worked -> the manufacturer can fix it without changing the design, simply by replacing the screws supplied with the smaller size. Everything else is fine with the product. and he holds my door well. I'm deducting one star for the (in my opinion) invalid screws --> I'm including this in the "Easy Installation" section as you need to be very careful or buy other screws.
