Need these to remove small brass screws which the head broke off, from a project. Best price with a promo discount
Vincent F on May 28, 2015
I bought one of these from Rockler years ago and it was magic when you needed it. I hit a nail with the old one and that stripped the teeth. I did file some new teeth on it but it has not been the same so ordered a new one. You might only need it every couple of years, but when you do you'll be glad to have 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.

It works, but . . .
I used the 1/4" size to remove broken screws from some oak and some maple. It worked, but you have to take it slow, and be VERY careful. The instructions said to drill a 1/4" hole in a piece of scrap to use as a guide, but I had better luck using a 15/64" drill bit for the guide hole. You also have to place the guide VERY precisely. If one of the teeth should clip the screw, your extractor teeth are gone. I did this, but I was lucky enough that there were still two teeth left and I was able to finish extracting the broken screw.

Maybe worthy of note, on a later screw I broke the two remaining teeth so there were none left. But the end of the extractor where the teeth used to be was still ragged enough that I was able to get the screw out anyway.

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.

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!

Screw extractor
I have used these several times mostly in hardwood. They work well and are about the only way I have found to remove screws with messed up heads. The extractors must be used very carefully because the metal is very thin and easily broken. I am on my third set. Note that the drill must be run in reverse and hold it straight but do not apply excessive force.

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 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.

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.

Screw extractor
This is the second one of these I have purchased, they work very well but if you hit the screw the teeth of the extractor break. Not the tools fault but mine. Keep that in mind tho as they snap fairly easily. But as you see I did buy again.

screw extractors
Have used both 1/4 and 3/8 extractors many times and preform well. Found better to use larger than required cutter(oversize) because extractors are brittle and if screw was installed at angle, and your drilling straight, tends to catch the cutter tip and breakage can occur. But I rate the cutter very high.
