Damaged Screw Extractor - Remover for Stripped Head Screws Nuts & Bolts | Drill Bit Tools for Easy Removal of Rusty & Broken Hardware | High Speed Steel | Superb Gift for Men

I was surprised by how well it worked. i was abled to remove corroded and damaged screws from an outdoor piece of furniture that had been rusted in my backyard.four stars because the bits didn’t last as long as i would have liked .

I bought this to remove a metal screw that is screwed into medal. The screw threads were seized and they designed the screw to use the weakest kind of bit possible a flat head. It stripped so easily as the screw is also made of a softer metal probably aluminum. I tried everything to try and remove it with no luck!So being a little skeptical about this removal tool as the screw I was trying to remove was on there pretty tight. But i went ahead and ordered it anyways and once it arrived went for the second to smaller bit as I can always just go up a size if I went too small. But after drilling the screw out in reverse I flipped the removal bit and used my wrench instead and I cranked the wrench and I really felt it imbedding itself into the screw then as it got a very good tight hold of the screw it became very hard to turn the wrench anymore but then to my amazment the seized screw started turning then out it came.This tool worked like a charm. But just make sure to try start with a smaller size than your screw and you can always go up a size if it didn't work.But the key to success is to drill it out till the end of the drill end starts rubbing against the screw.

These extractors worked well for a couple of screws, but then they rounded off and wouldn't grab the inside of the hole that was drilled per instructions. I recommend looking elsewhere.

Frankly, this is a pretty cheap product. They don't feel like a quality product. The bits will not stay inside the clips in the case and the sizing print rubs off easily. These didn't work for my application, and based on other reviews here, your mileage may vary.If you are going to need this as a longer-term tool for your shop, I'd invest a little more money for a higher-quality set.

Tried to remove a screw and it rounded off the drill.

I tried all the DIY tricks to get out a stretch screw along with different size screwdrivers and all the methods I could find of the internet and nothing worked. Orded this broken out used it been within 1 minute my screw is out this thing is a godsend

They are too soft to be of any use, Inspected right away on a Rockwell hardness tester. This steel being used is extremely low on the Rockwell C scale measuring only 48 Rc. This is below the hardness of any tempered hardened tool steel. I even noticed under the microscope that the drill bit ends have enormous burr leftover from when they "sharpened" them abd created the vcutting lips of the drill. They are atrocious. I touched up the EX#2 extractor with a stone and diamond file to get a superior cutting edge. It could not touch a broken 1/2-20 flathead screw which had broken off in an L-Track in a cargo trailer. Trying to remove two screws which no longer have their Philips flat heads, they corroded under the head and popped off during use. sigh... I will need to make an elaborate fixture to mill the end of the broken screw flat enough to then drill using a real HSS twist drill. Then I may be able to extract these broken screws, but I was hoping this extractor kit would function. The price of the kit unfortunately matches the poor quality of the tools. Either these are straight up junk extractors, or the manufacturer (GULLWOLF) forgot to harden the tools after forming.

Easy to use
