What Customers Are Saying
This screw extractor set has mixed performance. Some users found it effective at removing seized or stripped screws and bolts, while others reported issues with the drill bits wearing out quickly or the extractors themselves breaking. The quality and durability of the components seem to be the main concerns. However, a number of users did express satisfaction with the product, especially for lighter-duty applications.

Worse off now than I was before trying this kit
Would Not RecommendThe drill bits worked well enough. I was able to drill out the center of a stubborn bolt without issue. I inserted the extractor and attempted to twist the bolt out. I put a crescent wrench on the extractor and began trying to twist it out. The extractor snapped off in the hole I drilled out. Now I need a better drill bit that can drill out the harder steel of the broken extractor. I'm worse off now than I was before trying to use this kit.

Perfect Tool
Would RecommendPerfect tool for the job. Kit offers a number of sixes of broken bolts,etc. AND the accompanying drill bit to use to obtain the removal hole. All in one package.

It Just Didn't Work
Would Not RecommendI had 4 screws to remove. After purchasing this set from Irwin, they remained. I had to purchase a set from a very large online retailer to get them out. The set I purchased is made by a company called "Essential Tools" and only cost $10.49.

great combo
Would RecommendExtractors worked right out of the package. Broken off bolt holding blade on lawnmower deck spindle came right out. Extremely handy to have the proper drill bit right along side of each size extractor. Didn't waste time finding the right bit.

Best way to remove screws and bolts
Would RecommendWhen a screw or bolt is damaged and can not be removed with a screw driver or wrench, this set of extraction tools is a life saver. The drill bits are matched to the extracting shanks so that the hole is the correct size to insert the extractor and turn it out.
