This is some handy stuff! Has gotten me out a a few binds where I have encountered stripped philips head screws.

It's a gel that has hard bits in it that provide more friction in a rounded out screw head. It sort of reminds me of lapping compound. Put a small drop in the head of the screw, use your normal screwdriver, it grabs alot better, and back out the screw! I've used it numerous times with good success. It only failed when the screw head was almost rounded out smooth.

Hmmm...I don't think this will work for what I need. I have 1 screw left out of the 4 that holds the fresh air flap assembly under the passenger side dash...the one that goes to the blower. The screw is super stripped out.
