Would Not RecommendThe hole produced by the drilling end was too large and wollowed out for the extractor end to bite into the screw head.
Screwed
Would Not RecommendSimple task on #8 screw removal attempt and the Grabit dulled within 1-minute. Waste of money!

Miracle worker
Would RecommendI was in the process of replacing hinges on a house w/perhaps the original hinges from 1969. It was old, rusty and had layers and layers of old dried paint on it. On EVERY single door, there was at least one stripped screw that I simply could do nothing about. I researched online and all the tips simply didn’t work. I rushed to my local Lowes and brought this bit in desperation. I seriously didn’t think it would work. The screws were just so stripped. Amazingly however, this thing worked INC...
Didn’t work for me
Would Not RecommendI bought this to remove over painted hinge screws from a cabinet. I followed directions, but the screws remained imbedded.

Didn't last long
Would Not RecommendTook out one screw with it, actually broke the head off of it. Went to the 2nd same sized screw and it finally grabbed the screw good. Snapped the end right off the GRABIT. Wouldn't recommend buying
Don't buy this.
Would Not RecommendProduct is terrible. Doesn't extract anything except your money.
Short answer does NOT work
Would Not RecommendDid everything by the instructions and the extractor does not even catch. Only using reverse/counter clockwise and this was an $8 waste and lost gas going to Lowe’s. I would absolutely not recommend this
no bueno
Would Not RecommendGot it this morning in the hopes it would help get 4-5 rusted screws out. Low and behold, it did not work. It jist kept spinning (yes it was foing counter clock wise) Save your money people
No Good
Would Not RecommendBought this bit and followed the instructions exactly. It broke on the first turn.
Screw removal tool
Would Not RecommendThe screw removal tool did not work as advertised or recommended by salesman.
Didnt work
Would Not Recommendthe prepping end worked just fin, the extraction end was too small for the hole it made.
Easier than expected
Would RecommendRead the reviews suggesting slow as you go when using the extractor and it worked perfectly. Do remember to keep the drill in reverse ode throughout. Great product!
Works perfectly! Nothing worse than trying to remove a stripped screw. This tool allowed be to back the screw out without much effort. It saved me a to. If time and heartache.
Works on some screws
Would RecommendTried using the product however it didn't work. Not sure if the screw was the problem.
