Pool Light Screw Stripped
Tried to change the pool light today and the screw that holds the light into the wall is now stripped. Can't really use the normal method of a drill to remove the screw since it's under water. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Most of them are designed for power drills, but Alden has a line of tools which might be capable of being used with a hand wrench, like a socket wrench.
Probably get them at any of the big box stores.
Might have to drain the pool down some to get to it with a power drill.

same thing happened to me, mine was just slightly smaller than 1/4 so I got a tap for 1/4 x 20 and a SS screw from Ace and re tapped the hole for the 1/4 x 20 threads, just turn it slow and have the vac hose there to catch the metal chips ( they are sharp )
