EZE OUT bits in a drill.





ONE WAY screws; similar to those used in public bathrooms are as easy to remove as any other using the proper tool.

AHH AN ADD ON. I just re-read your Q. NAILS??? certainly claw hammer??? I've been on the planet a long time; and rarely run across NAILS and SCREWDRIVERS in the same context.How do i take out nails that wont come out with a screwdriver?
Claw hammer. Drill them out. Cut out the wood round them with a chisel so you can get a better purchase.
Ok, is it screws or nails? And what type of material are they stuck in?
This may not be a fix to your problem but it surely fixed mine. I got out my tap and hammered the head of the screw further in to the wall and then used plaster over it to patch the wall rather than making a huge hole attempt to take something out that was not meant to come back out. Best of luck.
Use a hammer and pull it out. Then put somthing over the hole like a picture mirror ect. or patch it up so nobody can tell there is a hole in the wall.
I can suggest this . Use a chisel and hammer this will remove the screws
There are screw extractors available at your local hardware store. Also Sears has some that Bob Vila has been touting.
try pliers or puund them in.


impact screwdiver tool turns when pounded by hammer thus getting better bite.
first i don't understand the question,nails can't be removed with a screwdriver but if all else fails just cut them off.or a a better hammer try the forked end of a crowbar
Nails are difficult to remove with a screw driver. They don't seem to have a slot most times. Irritating to say the least. And screws can be difficult to drive in with a hammer too. Those thread thingies seem to slow it down when you hit it with the hammer. I don't know why someone can't invent something easier to use. I wonder how carpenters ever get anything done with these things.
why do you need a screw driver to take a nail out
I use left handed drill bits. I got mine at harbor Freight for a song. They work great. Chuck them in tight and put your drill in reverse and they will grab that screw and back them right out!
