What Customers Are Saying
The product works well for removing some stripped or corroded wood screws, but may struggle with more stubborn or hard metal screws. Proper technique, such as drilling a deep pilot hole and using low RPM in reverse, is crucial for the extractor to grip the screw head effectively. The extractor size must match the screw size for best results, and in some cases the extractor bit may break or further strip the screw head.

Does Not Work!!
Would Not RecommendFollowed instructions, went very slow on the extraction. All it did was smooth out the screw. Waste of time and money.
An essential tool in the major appliance service
Would RecommendAn essential tool in the major appliance service field. Size #2 is perfect for major appliances with seized screws.

Did not work at all
Would Not RecommendI bought this today to remove a couple of 2" phillips screws. It did not budge either of them. I'm returning it.
junk
Would Not RecommendWhat a waste of $20. drill end would not touch the cap socket .
Like others said this tool didn't solve problem
Would Not RecommendThe tool was not able to back out a screw that stripped. Wish I could return it and try another product.
After prepping the screw, this did not grab the screw head and ended up having to use a different tool to loosen the screw.

just didnt work
Would Not RecommendBought this thinking it would be a cool product for those times you need it. 3 weeks later, had a super small screw that was stripped. I followed instructions, kept at it with this thing for 15 minutes, and it just didn't work. Never bit at all.
Doesn’t work
Would Not RecommendAs I figured would happen, had a screw to take out that was stripped. This product barely drilled a hole and then never could get a good bite on screw for extract. POS! Don’t buy.

Nice tool to have
Would RecommendHad three 3 inch long deck screws going into 4 x 4 posts. Heads stripped out while trying to remove them for maintenance. Grab-it to the rescue.. Helpful clerks at Lowes led me right to the item. It took less than 5 minutes to remove all three screws. A tip for DIYers.Be sure that you bore the hole deep enough so the extractor head has enough "bite" to grip the screw.
Didn’t work for me....
Would Not RecommendDidn’t work for me....had to improvise to get stripped nail out. Item was returned without any issues

Use reverse and low RPMs
Would RecommendI thought this was useless until I read the directions. Both ends are left handed. Put your drill motor in reverse (as in removing screws) and keep the RPMs low. That gives the left handed drill bit a chance to grab the screw and, often, that alone will get the screw out. If the drill bit doesn't grab, once it's drilled deep enough, use the other end (the screw end). It will grab (if you've drilled deep enough) and the screw will come out. Now I need a smaller one for a #6 screw.

Did not work
Would Not RecommendThe sales person at Lowe’s said this works really well, but it did not work for me at all. Maybe the screw was too stripped. I ended up having to drill through it.

Worked like a charm
Would RecommendI loved this product. I tried all the hacks on YouTube but this one worked the best. I took out both screws in 5min.

It does the job nicely!
Would RecommendIt does the job nicely! I didn’t think it would probably work but got it anyway and was able to remove three screws that had been stripped on the heads. Nice product!
