EZ Grip

[Stuart]

I've only recently been told about this so thought I'd put it up in case it's of help in the workshop. An aircraft engineer I know gave me a bottle of EZ Grip - stuff you put on screw heads if your driver is slipping on them or they are worn. It gives you enough grip to be able to remove them. I guess it's kind'a like grinding paste?

EZ-Grip is the World's Greatest Screw Extracter. Each drop of EZ Grip Friction Drops™ solution has thousands of hardened alumina cubes in a non-toxic, food grade antifreeze carrying agent. Each alumina block is 4 microns in size (about the size of a dust particle). These building blocks provide a temporary bridge between the tool and stressed fastener heads for easy removal.

Application Procedure:

Stripped Screws

Apply a drop to the screw head or driver head and wiggle the tool against the screw head while applying moderate pressure to allow the liquid carrier to move the blocks into a bridging position between the tool and any differential surfaces of the damage screw head. Then apply forward and slightly cocked hard pressure against the screw head and turn the screw out. There is no need to clean EZ Grip from the tool or fastener after use as it will not cause corrosion and does not contain petroleum or silicone

Rounded Bolts/Nuts

Apply a few drops to the inside of a box end wrench or socket and place over the bolt and wiggle the tool into place allowing the blocks to form a bridge between the wrench/socket and bolt or nut corners. Cock the wrench or socket against the bolt/screw while applying pressure and turn. There is no need to clean EZ Grip from the tool or fastener after use as it will not cause corrosion and does not contain petroleum or silicone

Worn gripping and turning tools:

Apply to head or jaws of driver, wrench, or pliers to increase gripping power. There is no need to clean EZ Grip from the tool or fastener after use as it will not cause corrosion and does not contain petroleum or silicone.


Extending tool life:

Keep a residue of EZ Grip Friction Drops™ on driver head, wrench/socket shoulders and plier jaws to keep these surfaces from coming in contact with the fastener head. Let the blocks take the pressure and not the steel surface of your tool. EZ Grip will not cause corrosion and does not contain petroleum or silicone.
