Took me 3 hours to find the right sized hex bit for a stripped screw on a deck job in Lethbridge

Had to drive to three different hardware stores before I found a set with a reverse thread extractor, has anyone else had luck with those or is there a faster way to pull a stripped screw out of treated lumber?

Heat the screw head with a propane torch first to break the seal before trying anything else.

RIGHT? That heat trick SAVED me on a deck last month, total game changer.
