Ask a Mohs Tech- Rubber band Trick

Rubber Band- Double Duty

Daily use of cryostats can put a lot of wear and tear on the screws inside, especially the screws that hold the knife plate in place. You should always update your screws, as they can get stripped easily, but incase you don't have time here's a great tip found in the Good House Keeping Magazine. They probably weren't talking about cryostats, but in this case it's perfect for Mohs!

To get a better grip on a stripped screw, trap one side of a wide rubber band (like the ones used on a produce bundle) between the screwdriver and the screwhead, and twist!
