This extractor kit blew me away with its quality. I was tasked with removing a bolt after the head had been broken off. The instructions were detailed and very easy to follow. I was able to remove the bolt and repair an expensive piece of equipment. I am very satisfied.

I picked up this screw extractor set on a whim, and I’m glad I did. For under $10, it’s a surprisingly handy addition to my toolbox. The kit includes six extractors made from HSS 4341 steel with a hardness rating of 63–65 HRC, which gives it solid durability. I’ve used it on a couple of stripped screws and rusty bolts, and it performed well—especially with a standard drill.

👍 Pros:

Works with the screws I needed help with.

Easy to use.

Compact and giftable packaging

Great value for the price

👎 Cons:

Doesn’t always grip deeply rusted screws on the first try, and needing to drill deeper into the screw than I imagined.

Overall, it’s a practical tool that solves a frustrating problem. It’s not industrial-grade, but for DIY jobs and occasional use, it’s a smart buy. Bonus points for being a fun stocking stuffer or gift for the fix-it guy (or gal) in your life

Right tool for removing screw with stripped phillips head. The drill end is made with stop to drill to proper depth. Reversed ends to remover tip, screw came out with no problem. If you follow directions, it is almost foolproof. The drill end required some pressure to cut in but did the job. The bit showed no wear I could see. I would highly recommend this set, well worth the price.

I have an old Toyota Tacoma that I have been working on. I was removing one of the fenders when a small mounting screw head snapped off, leaving the remainder of the screw in the frame. I soaked the remaining bit of the screw and the hole with PB Blaster for a week, hitting it with spray at least once and sometimes twice a day.

I felt like today was as good a day as any to try to get the screw out. I again soaked the remaining bits with PB Blaster, wiped away the excess, and attempted to sink the drill side of the #1 extractor bit into the screw. It spun, but had no impact. Not wanting to potentially snap off the bit, because I know how fragile they are, I switched to a left handed drill bit that was the same size as the #1 bit in the kit. After the hole was started and I saw that I was going in straight, I switched back to the drill side of the extractor bit and got it to sink into the hole, down to the stop on the bit collar. I flipped the bit over and attempted to extract.

Using a drill on a slow speed, making sure not to put too much force behind it, I saw that the bit wasn’t extracting, instead it was grinding away the metal stem of the screw. I applied slightly more pressure and saw that it was just grinding away more of the stem. I stopped with the #1 and switched to the #2 bit. This time to make sure that I wasn’t going too fast, I used a 1/4 inch collar/guide on the bit and fit the other end of the guide onto an Allen wrench. Applying minimal pressure and turning about a quarter turn at a time, I finally got the #2 bit to bite. The bit was down inside the screw and decent amount. Since the #1 hadn’t extracted and instead ground away some screw material, the #2 was seated really well in the screw body.

Now with extractor seated and biting, hardly applying pressure, I pressed the allen wrench slightly to the left, and that’s all she wrote.

Now the extractor bit is buried in the screw, making the job infinitely harder since you can’t drill through it.

I read that a grinding bit in a dremel should be able to grind the extractor bit down and hopefully cause it to crumble. I just destroyed one grinder bit trying to get through it.

Now I am looking at buying another “rescue bit” to remove the extractor bit that is broken off in the screw. I should have just left hand drilled the screw out as best I could. This thing is more of a headache than it’s worth.

I had two severely stripped screws stuck in the clamp of a baby gate securing a glass railing. After several failed attempts with other tools, I bought this screw extractor as a last resort, honestly, I was skeptical it would work.

To my surprise, it performed flawlessly.

I carefully followed the instructions and advice from other reviewers. First, I used the burnishing end of the bit to carve a clean groove into the stripped screw. Then, with steady pressure and patience, I switched to the extractor side—and both screws came out cleanly and completely.

This tool saved me from what could have been a much bigger hassle. It turned a frustrating situation into a satisfying fix. I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with stripped or damaged screws. It works exactly as promised.
