The Kitchen Item That Can Remove Your Stubborn Drywall Plugs
By TIERRA HARRIS
Instagram user @ken.c.long has shared a simple yet ingenious solution to the frustrating task of removing drywall plugs using an item found in most kitchens:
the corkscrew.
To utilize this method, insert the corkscrew into the drywall plug, give it a 360-degree turn to ensure a firm grip, and then pull to remove the plug without damaging the drywall.
This hack is particularly effective for threaded wall plugs and might not be suitable for non-threaded versions, as they do not turn clockwise like threaded screws and corkscrews.
