Second time I’ve ordered them the first one I gave to my coworker and order my self Another pack because they really come in handy. If the bit doesn’t grab might have switched to a bigger bit and you gotta use some force other than that, no problems for me

Though it didn't work out for the reason I purchased it. But it do work on stripped screws. Mine stripped screws was too small to grip on. So , overall the product is good. The seller (Cart2globe) delivered it a week before, so I am happy with the seller. Happy shopping on Amazon.

I needed a screw extractor for a brass, phillips, round headed screw. I am a complete amateur and the instructions seemed good enough and after watching some videos on DIY, I was confident. Problem is, it was not that easy and I had to remove the screwhead with drill bits in the end. I have limited experience with drills and screws and putting things together as well as tearing them apart. I have never stripped a screw in my life until now.What I was trying to remove was the screw that held a MOEN shower handle and while using a phillips head screwdriver, it got stripped. I used a manual screwdriver and went slowly while applying pressure (I tried the rubber band trick as well and it was a no-go). The phillips was not too big or small. Somehow it got stuck in the cartridge. So when trying to tap out the screw, all it did was make it leak and it took me 3.5 hrs before I gave up and drilled the F out of the head so I could pull off the handle (quitting is not my nature).Basically, I didn't give a good review because it didn't work as easy as advertised and if you want it done quickly, hire someone. If you don't have the cash, you can try it because I'm sure I had a special case and will probably work ok with other damaged screws (door hinge, drywall, furniture...).UPDATE: saw a few extractors at the nearest hardware store and guess what? The teeth on those are deeper unlike these. These are extremely shallow. That is most likely why it failed to extract the bad screw. *downgraded to 1 because WTF? How are these supposed to bite into the metal to pull it out??? No wonder it just looked like it just made some small threaded marks.

No real instructions, no markings of side A or B on bit

There's not much in the way of instructions (I feel like I'm trying to follow a recipe in the kitchen and they'll give you instructions based on the fact that they assume you've had a lot of time baking/cooking. Unfortunately I do not) I'm not a super handy person but I can handle the basics. As I learn new things I carry it forward etc, but I never really had any training with tools etc, so it's always on the go training. And normally as long as there are a lot of instructions it helps. Usually I try and figure it out and then double check with the instructions etc. In this case there are only "three steps" to extracting any screw and since the images are small I'm only 90% sure that I am on the right track and 100% sure that I need glasses :) It did work however, it just took me awhile to figure it out. One of the screws in the side of my swivel chair was loose and it broke because I was lazy and kept putting it off until eventually it just broke. I had a replacement screw but I have no way of getting the broken bolt out. This works rather well. I'm sure the more I use it the better I'll become. but even with limited knowledge it worked.

Please let me start by saying I was trying to remove the machine screws that were holding the licence plates to my vehicle. One screw would simply not budge at all. I sprayed WD40 on the screw for a week and still nothing. Finally I stripped the head of the screw trying to remove it.Enter Essential Tools Damaged Screw Extractor Bits. The instructions describe "Side A" and "Side B" of the extractor bit. But there are no markings on the bit or clear illustrations to differentiate which side is which. Additionally, there is no mention that the extractor bit needs to run in reverse to be effective. They also do not mention that you should use the largest bit that will fit into the screw head to be most effective. Luckily there are videos on YouTube that I consulted first.I managed to smooth the screw head effectively with "Side A." But because the screw was so embedded, the threads sheared right off of "Side B" when I tried to extract the screw. I tried some larger extractor bits, until finally the screw head broke off. Eventually I used a solid carbide drill bit (in forward direction) to bore out a new hole through the old screw and threaded a thinner screw into the new opening. What a hassle.Now, I know what the manufacturer is thinking. The screw extractor kit is not made for this type of application. However, I will still seek a refund because the threads on "Side B" should not have sheared off. But this is definitely a cool tool to have around if you're working with wood, or assembling IKEA furniture. I will seek a professional-grade extractor kit to keep in my tool chest.Sorry to bash a small family business. If you promise to re-write the instructions, I'll improve my rating of this product.

This tool did the job on the first try, the service repair guy told me a few hours earlier he charges minimum $40.00 to just look at my pressure washer to remove the bolt, that was a big No! No! for me, so I got out my tools and in 10 minuets I had the bolt out! I've read many reviews about many different products, many negative reviews not all, are simply are the results of the operator not knowing how to use the product correctly, resulting in a damage tool, job stoppage, or worst, etc. the best thing to do is to educate yourself first, I talked to a person down the street she was complaining about a 1/2 Ton pickup truck that she bought earlier, now she also purchased a 12,000 lb camping trailer, "her complaint" the truck is no good it won't pull my trailer very good, she was talking negative things about the company that built her truck, I simply told her that your truck was not designed to pull that much weight, there's nothing wrong with your truck, you need a heavier towing truck, simply she just didn't know, but yet she had negative comments about the vehicle, the right tool for the job is very important for best results.
