Much better than WD40...although I would have thought nothing would prevent the galvanic action you have encountered...its all due to disimilar metals getting wet and producing a small electric current.....allegedly.

reserved to the left receipt this chain; They had kissed distant
separated with the lights to the external part, when its title kept
liberations without the receipt requested and was f*cked completely.
They would be applied to lubricate and handhad surely he, the end to
deduce its subsidy of the hinge. But then you he say that this screw
wine of China and you he still gave to shutdowns the other way around
a new furrow?

So let me get this right; you were screwing away with the lights out, when suddenly your head came off, and you were totally f*cked. You applied some lubricant and managed to remove your tool from the socket. But then you say that that the screw was from china and you made a new a new slot ?

Halogen floodlamps

Bulb went in one of these last week, so I sauntered down to the garage with a screwdriver & new bulb to change it.

Ha! I should cocoa!

Insert screwdriver into head of crosshead screw & it immediately rounds off.

Totally fecked.

So after a week of WD40, it finally unscrewed with the aid of a pair of pliers.

Crap chinese screws I suspect... it now has a nice new slot which will no doubt rust in no time at all.
