Damaged Screw Extractor - Remover for Stripped Head Screws, Nuts & Bolts | Set of 6 | Drill Bit Tools for Easy Removal of Broken & Rusty Hardware | Hardened High Speed Steel (HSS)

Worked perfectly, got the crap screws supplied with my shelf out and replaced them with better quality ones.

I'd been trying to remove a broken UPVC window handle to replace it with a new one, but one of the screw heads holding it in was badly rounded. I'd tried every different Phillips screwdriver in the house, and nothing would get a grip on it, and I probably made it worse in the process. Even a professional window repair man couldn't get the screw out. So I had low hopes for this product, but thought it worth a try. Amazingly it removed the screw in no time. The first bit I tried didn't work, but tried a larger one, and it came out straight away. I guess it can never be guaranteed to work, but for the price, it's definitely worth a try.

These are great little tools, however all of the product information and the instructional video don't make it clear that these will not fit in a basic electric screwdriver. You will need a more powerful drill type electric screwdriver to use them. Unfortunately for me, the screw that I needed to remove was at the bottom of my bath panel, 1 cm above the floor, 2cm in from a wall and blocked from above by the curve of the panel, so my larger drill screwdriver wouldn't fit into the available space. The extractor tools come in a good range of sizes, are packaged well and are good value for money. I'm now looking for an adaptor so that they can be used in my more basic / compact electric screwdriver.

Did not work for me. The cutting tip was not sharp enough to cut into the snapped bolt, so I resorted to using an HSS drill bit. But the extractor bit then couldn't cut into the hole I'd drilled - the material is either not hard enough or it's not sharp enough. I used a Dewalt drill at variable (up to high) speed to try and cut into the snapped bolt - and I used the same drill at very low speed when trying to use the extractor end. I tried a few different sizes, starting with the smallest - but it didn't work for me.

I honestly don't know about this. It all looks fine, definitely not plastic as suggested by other reviewers on here and feels pretty decent quality. Maybe i am using it incorrectly or it's not designed to do what i am using it for. But i just cannot get it to work.

Immensely surprised it worked, I managed to get two sheared off bolts out using this set. Make sure to use WD40 before attempting to remove any bolts and would I highly recommend having a set of metal drill bits as this speeds up the process. I wish these bits were slightly shorter so they would fit fully in an extension bit.

Works as well as advertised

Brilliant peice of kit worked on normal sized screw which had burred head and couldnt be removed. Very pleased. I tried it later with a smaller screw and it didnt work but that could be that it was too small a screw.
