Depending how floppy discs have been stored, they could have gotten mold and other dirt and because it they are useless as they mess up drive heads etc and cannot be read. But I have recovered many floppys by cleaning them and with this tool it is easier. Just tighten the nut and the bolt through the hole in the floppy, put the floppy in the base and rotate the disc while holding microfiber cloth soaked in IPA in the floppy disc opening. When you are sure the disc is clean, let it dry before using it in the drive. Print the base, nut and bolt with PLA, PETG etc and the o-rings with TPU. Use superglue to attach the o-rings to the nut and the bolt. The threads in the nut and the bolt are little rough but they will loosen up after couple of turns.
