    Softspikes and broken fingernails

    Does anyone have a quick and painless method for removing fast-twist Softspikes without the "special wrench"? At the moment I'm suffering from frustration and broken fingernails as I attempt to remove some very worn spikes (oops!) with a screwdriver and my fingers.

    What are you like,

    Heat an old screwdriver up with a bunson burner or gas cooker, when it is hot put it into the middle of the spike to make a hole.

    Once cool put the screwdiver in and turn the spike out.

    Use an old one if possible as this does leave melted plastic on the screwdriver.

      I cant get mine out even with the bloody wrench! Took about 3 hours so far to get 4 out!

        Are you turning them the right way "anti-clockwise"

        LOL

          Thanks guys. For a moment I thought I was being a complete muppet but it's clearly not as straightforward as the chaps at Softspike would have you believe. I guess it makes sense that they don't come out easily else we'd lose them all by the time we'd finished a round.
