2498 Mr. Grip Screw Hole Repair Kit,Steel,Pack of 1

My son's closet doors have door handle pulls to open them with springs that apply pressure so it's hard to get them unlatched some times. Because of the latter one of the door handle screws got stripped from being screwed in over and over. This kit (which comes with about 6 of the strips) is super easy to use. Cut the pieces small enough to get them in the wood stripped out hole and then screw the screws back in. Holds really well. I'm very impressed. Great to always have in your stable.

Had two cabinet doors with stripped screws that kept hanging down. Used these and fixed them in under 5 minutes. That was almost a year ago and they are still holding up like the day I fixed them. Would definitely recommend

This is actually an excellent product and a great idea. Works much better than stuffing matches or wood splinters in the hold in order to allow a better hold for the screw. Doing this type of work for a living there are better ways to fix a stripped screw or an enlarged hole, but this is the quickest easiest and most effective way due to the material it is made of. This product will indeed work 100% of the time if you use it properly. There are some videos to check out and I personally am considering doing a helpful video as there are some tricks in order to get effective results. Mainly is placement and the size of the hole. There are times when you truly need to get a drill and enlarge the hole just a bit. Once you do a couple you understand what you need to do in order to get the best results. Be patient. Like most "tool" this will work for you if you use it properly.

I've used this product three times, once in solid wood and twice in MDF. Worked wonderfully well. The screws, which had been spinning in holes that are too big, are now snug in place and holding tight.If I find different results in other situations, I will update.

This product will work in some situations. As others have noted, it can be a little fiddly to get a piece properly seated into the hole. I can even imagine it being an effectively permanent repair for some things. Having said that, in almost every circumstance one would be better served by performing a proper repair by filling using a quality filler (I would recommend something epoxy-based) and re-drilling a pilot hole for the screw.I will keep the remaining strips just in case I need to make a quick & dirty temporary repair to something. It does have the advantage over fillers of never getting old or being impacted by its storage environment so it is probably a reasonable addition to a field repair kit one might keep in their car/boat/cabin/etc.If you are at all handy, I'd suggest skipping this product - it is not really a time-saver other than avoiding the curing time with a filler.

Cut the metal strips to the desired size and the insert into the stripped screw hole. Pretty simple. This will not work for all stripped screw thread applications but it's cheap enough to try.

This seems like a decent product, but completely failed in my case. I had a kitchen cabinet hinge screw that was really loose and tried to use this product on it to tighten the screw. I cut and applied and product as directed, but the screw head snapped deep in there. I had to bore a hole with one of those hollow screw extractor bits to get it out (and patch with a dowel). Perhaps there should be a disclaimer on this product that you should only use it on relatively soft wood. I still have more product (they give you a lot), hence maybe it’ll be more useful in the future.

I am impressed with this product. It was pretty easy to use. I had a small cupboard door on my desk that broke when I moved. It's a pressed wood desk and the screw holes were not only stripped, but pieces of pressed wood broke off. What to do? I considered all kinds of cement and epoxy and didn't want to deal with drills and epoxy fumes, so I ordered this based on the reviews. The screw holes were tiny so I had to cut small slivers of the product and insert them. Low and behold the door is screwed back in and closing properly now. It seems to be holding well. This product is so easy to use and so effective that it's something I always want to have in my tool box!
