I have successfully used this product where other screw extractors have failed, but I've found it only works under carefully controlled conditions. You need to start it with some sort of guide, you have to use a brace and bit at very slow revolution, you have to be alert to the possibility that the cutting teeth get snagged by the metal of the screw, you can't let the tool get hot, etc. The tool is incredibly delicate. On the other hand, most other screw extractors don't work at all.

I made a wood jig to guide the extractor as suggested, held a slow and constant slow drill speed, and yet the extarctor broke within drilling a few mm into the wood.

I used the 1/4 " size to remove 3 small hinge screws broken off deep in cherry. I used a guide to start indicated by instructions, then pulled it out to clear it frequently. I just screwed a deck screw into it with my fingers to clear it out. One screw backed out - the other two were exposed enough I could unscrew them with medical hemostats. Then plug the holes.
A great product that saved my project. Don't know how I would have gotten those screws out without it.

Used the 1/4" size to remove a broken screw from oak. I made a guide and took it slow, per the directions, and obtained perfect results.

As an orthopedic surgeon we occasionally have to remove broken screws, and use a similar product. I bought the Rockler 1/4 inch extractor to remove some broken screws from wood trim on my boat, and found it to be spectacular and work just as advertised. I chucked it according to directions, lined it up with the screw axis, applied gentle pressure and rotated the chuck by hand until I was 1/8 inch in, then started the drill slowly in reverse, checking my progress every 10 seconds, with cleaning the teeth; within 1 to 2 minutes I had the screw out, then removed two more. Worked like a charm, saved me a lot of time, and left a hole easily filled with a 1/4 inch dowel. Thank you!

With some broken-off screws on my boat, I ordered all three of the extractors; not being able to determine from the product description whether the sizes indicated were ID or OD. Following the directions (important!), I was able to successfully remove the screws and plug the resulting holes with dowels. While it is difficult to use any drill bit without a point or spur, these did the job intended with a centering jig made from a scrap of wood. I know of no other tool that would have worked.

The product is not represented properly by the illustration in the catalog. I was expecting a tool that would be long enough to fit into the chuck of my drill and have at least 3" to extract the broken off screw but this tool is only aroind 2" long. I was expecting a 4" tool. I am a little dissappointed, as every other product that I have ever bought from you has met my requirements. I haven't yet used this tool but I expect that it will work okay but not for long broken off screws.

It got the job done. I did find that in deep holes it was easy to "smoke" the tool, after which the teeth exploded. Following destroying the first side, I would go very slowly and remove the tool to cool every so often and it worked OK. I'm thinking this may be more of a disposable tool. Also, the actual OD is created by the set of the teeth and I had to drill out the hole for a 1/4" bung to fit as the extractor was a bit undersized.

I bought one of each size. Upon receiving them, it was apparent right from the start that they weren't going to be as simple to use as the depiction indicates. While these extractors did indeed work, at [price] each I did expect a more thoughtful & useful tool. This tool would probably work better on a drill press but that's not always easily accomplished. I needed to use it outside so I had to make a guide to start the extractor where I wanted to use it. I had to let it cool often. When it did cut the screw loose, I had to be very careful not to twist or bend it while removing the extraxtor & plug from the wood. It had become very hot and actually scorched the wood. Fortunately I had to drill the hole out to insert a plug anyway and that removed the burnt area. Getting the screw out of the extracter was rather tedious also.
In conclusion: While the tool did work, it wasn't a very well thought through design. The idea of using a piece of thin tubing with teeth cut into it and then hardened... is only easy to fabricate and ship out quickly. As far as being useful, it leaves a lot to be desired. The tool & design needs a lot more work to beworth $15 each. As it is, it seems it was designed to make money, not work well.

I bought three sizes of these. Two ended up breaking in the hole, one worked well. I ended up having to drill the screws out and remove them.

I was hoping that the interior of this tube would have a decreasing interior diameter from bottom to top such that it would slip over a broken screw, make contact at some point, and then spin the broken screw out. Ridges or grooves on this interior surface would help the bit grab the screw. But no. The broken screw at best makes only incidental contact, and is not driven up and out. This tool is worthless to me.

I was trying to remove a deck screw from the end of an oak Handrail piece cut on a 45. I used the guide as per the instructions, but with the angles and doing it with a hand drill, I must have hit the screw and the bit shattered. Now with the bit also in the piece of wood I had to resort to relocating the screw location. It is all buried and can't be seen so it was not a big problem, my concern was too many holes in a small area would loose the strength I was looking for.
I called Rockler and they sent me a new bit which I have not had the occasion to used, yet. In general I have been very satisfied with Rockler's product. They carry a lot of items that I can't find in local stores, especially since all of the wood working stores have closed in our area.

I was very disapointed with this item. I made a guide and followed the instructions! reverse, low speed, etc. I went very slowly and with great care. The item shattered almost immediately. I then reversed it in the drill and it broke again. I found it too short also.

These things are very light and might make it through one or two screws but that's about it. It is also very difficult to get the wood and screw out from the inside of the extractor. For $ I expected something heavier. Very disappointed.

I have tried to use this product on 3 occassions and on all three occassions, I have broken the extractor. It either collapsed in the chuck of the drill press or broke off in the hole or the plug I created stuck inside the extractor. Eventually, After removing one screw the bit broke when I tried to get the plug out. I followed the directions impecabbly on the 2nd and 3rd try because of the expense of the bit/extractor. No luck. I have started to use of plug cutter instead as it is sturdier. Then pry the plug out with the screw and fill the hole. I really wish that I could use this thing but the cost superceedes the benefit.

First use on a screw with a broken head, in soft pine, shattered. 2/3 left may try that or its back to the old catspaw.

I had hoped this tool would remove broken deck screws - the part that still has a head and is in the decking. (Usually the drive recess is to full of crud to allow using a drive bit for removal.) The perfect tool for my use would have the teeth that this one has, plus some groves inside to grab the head of the screw and allow one to remove it.
