What happens here

The presenter highlights the importance of using the correct type of screw for extraction. He compares a fine-threaded plug screw, which is typically used for installation, with a coarse-threaded screw. He explains that the coarse-threaded screw is superior for extraction because its aggressive threads will bite into the plastic deck plug more effectively and reduce the chance of stripping or jamming. Select a coarse-threaded screw and insert it into an impact driver.

Goal: Choose the correct screw type for extraction and load it into the driver.

Tools and materials

  • Coarse-threaded Screw — To grab and extract the deck plug
  • Fine-threaded Plug Screw — For comparison to highlight the difference
  • Impact Driver DeWalt — To drive the extraction screw into the plug

What they say

show you the best way to do it. We've got an eighth-inch drill bit. We're going to drill right into it. What really works best to get it out now is a coarse threaded screw like this as opposed to your plug screw, which I see most people using. If you just need to get out one, this is fine. But this coarse thread screw works a lot better
