IRWIN Tools IMPACT Performance Series SCREW GRIP Double-Ended Screw Extractor Insert Bits, 6-Piece Set (1876225)

We had a rusted in screw to remove. The screw extractor gripped the screw head so tightly that it broke the head off of the rest of the screw. It was on so tight, I had to use vise grips to get it loose from the screw extractor. Now that's performance. Luckily for us, the screw stump was in a piece we were going to throw away anyway. Advice on how to make it work: 1. both ends of the tool rotate counter clock wise. 2. Must use VSR drill on lowest speed.. 3. Apply a lot of force and squeeze the drill trigger carefully so it rotates less than once per second. 4. The predrill hole must be deep enough so that the point on the extractor end doesn't bottom. Price was extremely reasonable. The lady I did this job for thought I was a mechanical genius. Actually, Irwin gets the credit. The right tool makes you look smart.

Worked like a charm. Tried using a Ryobi extractor set to remove some rusted foot rail screws from a treadmill deck. The Ryobi bits got stripped themselves. These IRWIN ripped right into those stubborn screws and pulled them out no problem.

It broke off on me while using my 1/4” Milwaukee drive. Now it’s inside the original broken bolt. Top things to remember if you’re doing this job,1). ALWAYS go in reverse with the aggressive drilling side first.2). Make a deep enough hole for the extraction side of the bit to grip on.3). When you’ve made a deep enough hole, go super slow with the extraction side (other side) of this drill bit. Otherwise, it will break. Better yet, if you think you’re going to break the bit, get a manual extractor that fits in the hole and just wrench it out with that and a socket that fits.Now I gotta buy a different set that involves left handed drills.

I have tried many screw extractors and the only one to work for screws easily is this product. Some of the bad reviews I have read on here are trying to use these for bolts on cars and the such that is not the intended use for these. I use them at work on 8mm button heads that are stripped out and they save me hours of time. Irwin dose make a nice broken bolt set which I have and it works as well but when removing bolts it is useful to drill all the way through the broken piece so you can use the proper extractor

Can't even extract one philips screw. The extraction bit isn't able to bore out the head of the screw. Followed the instructions and had it go on reverse on a brushless Makita drill and on a impact driver until the battery was nearly dead. It didn't break yet so at least it's durable.

Did not work for removing a broken glow plug but I'm sure they will for a less crucial application.

Worked so good I got the screw stuck on the extractor bit and had use pliers and forward spin on the impact driver to get it off. My advice is go light on the drilling bit and then super heavy pressure when you flip to the extractor bit.

helped a lot.
