Screws broken off / General comment on inner Life of PB
#3
The word is "Holeshooter". (Most people incorrectly call it a "drill." Some call it "drilldriver" which isn't terrible.) I honestly can't imagine using one for this application. I use a jeweler's screwdriver, and even then, I'm very careful to make sure the threads are properly engaged.

As for removing them, I'd probably heat up the plastic and pull the insert out. But I don't really recommend this. I think that for not much cost you can buy a whole new casework.

Cheers
Matt
