any advice on getting screws and bolts out that cause this..

could always try my way?

use a diamond tip, digs in and wont 'cam out' so easily but if you still cant do it you could use an impact screwdriver

Try using an impact driver or driver bits on a socket spanner. Get the tightest fitting bit you can to avoid rounding off the screw head. Or buy better quality screwdrivers !

I have an impact driver if you want to use it

I always give the heads a sharp tap with a flat punch before attempting anything, impact driver is your friend, make sure the bit is fiting well before attempting anything

drill and an 'easy out'

we use em at the hangar the snap on ones are near £20 a pop! I can't ruin the screw though as I need to keep it.

You could try some thermal stress, either heat it with Oxy-Acetylene or a plumbers blow torch, or freeze it with some quick release freeze spray. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FREEZE-SPRAY-QUIC ... 2c54fdd3b2

i'l try freezer spray we've got shit loads of it in the vending machines but it doesnt work as well on steel. steel although depending on the composition has a lower coefficiant of expansion/contration than ally which is what we usually use it on. The only thing heat could be used for is to break any corrosion between the threads inside. Other than that it will just make the jammed bolt even tighter Today I broke another new (STRONGER) screwdriver on the f*cker and and ive also resulted to using screw grab and yep the screw bit fit perfectly but still not the slightest sign of movement!

sighhh all good fun

Got the fxcker out! Victory is mine.
