The drill end did not work, and the reverse thread end went bald first time I tried to use it. This is not hardened steel. I recommend getting a better version.

I’ve only used one of these so far, but it worked great and I didn’t notice any damage to the bit afterwards. I was a little concerned that they wouldn’t fit in my drill because they’re double-ended, but the cutting end is sufficiently short enough to fit in the chuck without causing damage to the drill - and still provide enough surface area to be gripped properly.This was my first time using an extractor bit and I was surprised at how easy it chewed away at the zinc screws I tested it on (which probably says more about the zinc screws I’m using than these bits, lol). I didn’t try these on stainless steel or cobalt screws, so take this with a pinch of salt. Your mileage may vary.I could see one of these lasting several turns at extracting, which means they’ll likely last for years for me. However, if you encounter more than a couple stripped screws a year then you might not have the same results as myself. I’ll test them on stronger screws and if my experience changes I’ll update this review, but for now I can safely say they’re plenty durable for my needs.And you can’t beat the price.Overall, I highly recommend this extractor set to any part-time woodworker or home DIYer, but professionals may have a different experience.

This is a great little tool to have when you need at and for the price, you will never find another one that you don't feel bad about buying and never using. Works easily to remove broken screws and comes with several common sizes.

If you're anything like me, you blithely assemble IKEA furniture and other things using a power drill. You hate drilling pilot holes, opting to use self-tapping screws, a lot of muscle, and the maximum torque setting on your drill to save time. This works just fine most of the time. But every now and again your bad habits catch up to you, and your screw heads end up stripped round.This handy little screw extractor set will save the day. It's neatly packed in a handy plastic case, about the size of a large pack of matches. If you use it correctly, you can back out even the most stubbornly stripped screws. This set is well-made and will suit most common use scenarios. Here's a handy how-to for using these screw extractors:1) Wear goggles or glasses. You're dealing with a compromised screw. Don't be the gal or guy who gets metal shavings in thier eye.2) Optionally, you can use a center punch and a hammer to mark the center of the screw. This helps the drill bit stay centered.3) Drill a pilot hole using a drill bit intended for metal. Drill a small, straight hole into the center of the broken or stripped screw. Go about 1/8" to 1/4" deep.4) Insert the screw extractor. Choose the extractor size that matches your pilot hole.Tap the screw extractor lightly into the hole with a hammer. The spiral "flutes" bite into the metal.5) Use an adjustable wrench or tap handle to turn the extractor slowly counterclockwise. Don't jerk it -- slow and steady wins the race. As it bites in, the extractor will begin turning out the screw. Once the screw starts moving, keep turning until it's out.If the screw is stubbornly stuck, apply some penetrating oil and wait a few minutes, then try again.

Nothing will bring a workshop project to a sudden stop like a stripped screw or bolt. It can be so frustrating when the more you try to get the screwdriver to bite and take hold, only for it to slip and mess up the slot even worse. I’ve been there more times than I’d like to remember! That’s when a set of these handy tools come into play. You place the appropriate sized bit into your drill with the “broken” stub of a drill bit looking side of it facing out and you drill down into the head of the screw. Then you flip it over to the fine spiral side of the same bit facing outward. The way the grooves are cut, when running it in reverse the pattern of grooves bites into the hole that you drilled with the other side of the bit and slow and steady you can back out the screw. I definitely think that this is an acquired skill , and is definitely one that takes a bit of finesse. But like many things practice makes perfect. I’m not sure how well these are going to hold up, time will tell. They do come in a nice little plastic storage box, to help prevent loss. There are 6 bits in increasing sizes. Always start with the smallest bit you think will work. You can always drill out more of the head with a larger bit, but you can’t put the metal back in to go smaller.

Update:They did not work for me on a large, tight screw. They wore down on both ends and barely made a dent.--Mine was missing the largest #4 extractor. I checked the shipping bag it arrived in and it didn't fall out or anything. The case was locked tight. There's some damage to one of them, like they've been used, so I wonder if this was a return. I've received many returns sold as new in the past (not from this company) so this wouldn't surprise me.In fact the case is rather difficult to open, it has an odd tab lock on it.The threads are rather thin and I have my doubts as to how much grip these really have for screw that are in tight. The portrait photos I've taken make the threads look beefier than they really are.These are also not designed to remove screws that have the heads broken off.
