Alden8440PproGrabit Damaged Screw & Bolt Extractor Set-4PC PRO GRABIT KIT

After reading so many bad reviews, I almost didn't buy the ProGrabit. But, I gave it a chance, and bought and used the product to remove some 2.5" screws from an old pool table railing. Out of the 5 I used on, I succeeded on 4. The one I didn't was not due to a bad product, but me not knowing the screw was in at an angle, thus I drilled at the wrong angle and brock off half the screw head when extracting. Since I haven't seen or used a product that works any better, I see no reason not to give it 5 stars. One must follow the directions exactly, and use the extraction part at as low of a speed as possible on a variable speed drill while applying a lot of pressure. See my video of the actual screws removed, and with one still attached to the extraction head. It grabbed the screws so well, that on some, I had to use a pliers to remove the screw from the grabit after extraction. I'd say that those that complained about it either used too small of a grabit in ration to their screw, (the video shows the largest grabit holding the 2.5" screw, although I found using the second to largest to work even better), or they didn't apply enough pressure, or they ran the drill too fast during extraction, or they drilled the hole either too deep or not deep enough. The directions spell this all out very specifically, but as with any product you buy, you must READ THEM... So, as one who has hassled with many of stripped out screw heads in the past, I highly recomend this product, and would give it as a gift, and will probably buy a second or third set to have around in case I do ever break one.

Very expensive but seem to be very high quality. Other types all failed.

But I know for sure that if I don't have a set in the toolbox, I am doomed to drills, Vice Grips, and skinned knuckles. All the internet reviews convinced me. And I think the quality of the steel, and its tempering, is crucial. I saw a knock-off version in a Post Office recently, and I can report I wasn't slightly tempted.

I had stripped the screw heads on the screws holding brake rotors in place. I had tried removing them with a similar tool however, that extractor broke. These extractors are much stronger and I was able to remove the screws. I recommend that you start with a smaller extractor first and then use the one that is sized for the damaged head.
