Is there a tool for prying out out rusting screws that just get ruined when you try to drive them out with a regular driver?
I'm trying to take the brakes off one the my wheelchair motors, and unfortunately, all the screws on the braking mechanism are ruined for my driver. They're very small, very rusty and they've grown very flimsy.
I don't know what to do. I'd hate to have to buy a new wheelmotor motor...again! :'(
Any help much appreciated.

Handy tool that will save you from more headaches later in life.

I often strip the screws in hobby servos (well, they strip themselves, such poor quality and all . . .).
I use a big pair of heavy duty pliers to make quick work of them.

left handed drill bits. if they work, you get a spark when you drill through the hangup, then the rest of the screw gets unscrewed by the drill bits.

Did you read the reviews?

Hi,
Oh, they do work (but don't buy them too cheap, they might be over-hardened too make them seem tough).
However, you have to use all bolt extractors with caution, i.e. never tilt them the slightest, but keep them completely in line with the bolt.
Personally, I prefer this type: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00966196000P?mv=rr (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00966196000P?mv=rr) even if they take a bit more labour to get the job done, since you have to drill into the bolt.
