Stripped Screw? We Take Care of That.

Ever tried to remove a screw only to find it was stripped and wouldn’t turn? Drat! Even if you’re short on time, LD has a handy home lifehack solution to help you get a grip.

  1. Cut a thick rubber band and lay it over the screw. (LD has office supplies)
  2. Press a screwdriver through the band and into the screw. (And tools)
  3. Now you can use the rubber to grip the screw’s rough edges.
  4. Remove the screw by turning as normal.

Whew. It’s that easy. No matter how badly you’re stuck, London Drugs has you covered in store and online. And our prices mean you’ll never feel worn out.

Stuck-On Ring? We Take Care of That.

Ever tried to remove a ring from your finger only to find it was completely stuck? Yeeps! Even if you’re short on time, LD has a handy home lifehack solution just for you.

  1. Grab about two feet of string or thread. (Dental floss works great, too.)
  2. Thread about four inches of it through the ring toward your palm.
  3. Wind the rest around your finger, up to the top, and tie it there.
  4. Unwind the string from the bottom up, easing the ring off.

Whew. It’s that easy. No matter what type of jam you’re in, London Drugs has you covered in store and online. And our prices mean you’ll never get wound up too tight.
