[MD] Stuck on a Torn Slot

[John Carl]

Right Mark.  These guys must never have done any actual motorcycle
maintenance.  It's called  an "easy-out" and it has a backwards spiraling
twist which grabs the torn head of any screw and with force applied backs
out stuck screws, easy as pie.

Sometimes, you just gotta have a bigger tool box is all.  Most of the time
on the jobsite, guys come to me because I have the collection of weird but
useful tools that carpenters don't usually carry.  The greater the
community, the more tools at one's disposal.

Is all I've been trying to say.
