Fantastic if used properly!
These work flawlessly! The trick is to make a quick jig that matches the diameter of this bit. Then clamp that on so this doesn’t walk.

I’ve been using these forever, when necessary to remove broken hinge screws. They work great. Glue exact size wooden dowel in hole, cut off flush, and predrill hole for new screw. Works perfect every time.

screw worn and need that spot.
you have driven a screw in to hold your parts together and the screw head breaks off. The screw extractor can solve the problem. Drill out the whole screw with a size extractor needed to remove entire screw depth. Then replace removed wood with dowel use a good wood glue. After it is dry preferred 24 hours, you can reapply a new screw.

Worked Great
Drilled a hole in a support block, put my driver in reverse and slowly bored into the cherry board using the block guide , The extractor worked great and cored out the broken screw encased in a bit of cherry. No broken bit.
Thanks to those who experienced trouble and posted. Their experience helped me slow down and get the job done.

Excellent value
These broken screw extractor bits are a single purpose tool that when you need it, you can't do without it. Having both ends of the extractor bits ground makes them an excellent value for the price.

what are the inside diameters of each size?
John on Sep 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The 1/4" has a 3/16" ID
The 5/16" has a 1/4" ID
The 3/8" has a 5/16" ID
Do they come in 1/8 size?

How long is the extractor? I need to go almost 2" deep, plus have enough to get a bite in the chuck.
Floyd H on Jun 19, 2016
BEST ANSWER: These extractors are 2" long
The screw just turns loosely in hole. How do I remove?
A shopper on Aug 16, 2015
BEST ANSWER: take a wire clothes hanger, cut off about 10 inches. wire straight on one end bend 1 inch to 90 degrees, make real small half loop. take it and dig it out by inserting wire below head
If the screw head is broken off will this tool work?
Paul B on Aug 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes. it will work fine. Just be sure to go as deep as the end of the screw is. If the plug of wood with the screw in it doesn't stay in the bit or break off easily you may not have gone deep enough. A screwdriver or small chisel will break the plug off and you can lift it out.
Do they have teeth on both ends?
Bruce W on Oct 16, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes
My deck screws go through the deck board and into the joice would I need to drill a hole in the joice to remove the screw ?
Joe O on Apr 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Since there are threads on the screw, I would say yes. If you use the extractor just through the top board and can remove enough material to get a pair of pliers (vise grips) to turn the screw out, that may work. If you do drill into the joist you can always plug the hole with a dowel. Be sure to use water proof glue for an outside project.
Would I be able to use this on two screws that are sheeted off right next to each other?
Dondo56 on May 5, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I doubt you could use this on anything at all. Broke as soon as it touched the wood. Totally worthless.
Once the screw is extracted is the hole repaired with a piece of dowel glued in the hole? Pilot hole and new screw? This is for a hinge application that I am dealing with....
John R on Aug 18, 2017
BEST ANSWER: What you described is what I would do. If possible I would install a screw a bit longer than the original and was it before I installed it.
My screw is netted on the back. Can this tool be used to drill through hole to allow plug and screw to fall out the back?
Cliff H on Dec 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I have used it to extract a #8 brass screw that had a missing head and was embedded in a solid piece of walnut. A dowel the same diameter as the hole created was filled with a section of a hardwood dowel glued in place. After the glue hardens you can drill a pilot hole for a new screw.
Can this extractor be used on aluminum?
Althesignguy on Jul 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: No - it didn't work in wood. They shattered immediately - extremely brittle.
Can this be used to remove small #8 stainless screws from fiberglass?
Brian B on Jul 11, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I haven’t used it on fiberglass but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. It worked great on a solid oak door.
will this work on stainless steal drill bit ? is this drill bit hollow in the center? I need one with a 1/4 " diameter.
Paul Z on Apr 3, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The way this works is to drill around what ever you need to remove. This device is very thin walled and the teeth break easy. Use something to stabilize the extractor before drilling into the wood. I used a piece of scrap maple that was about 1 1/2" thick. Hope this helps.
Do they come in a set of 3 ?
Larry W on Nov 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Rockler does offer three sizes of this tool, however they are listed separately. Some other suppliers also offer these separately but at different pricing.
Could you use the 1/4" extractor to make a 3/16" non-tapered plug?
Chuck B on Jun 5, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No. It shattered immediately. The metal is very thin and extremely brittle.
I have a #10 screw is the correct hollow extractor size to use a 5/16" or 3/8 "?
James A on Oct 16, 2017
BEST ANSWER: My experience with the product was that it didn't work at all - it shattered immediately.
I need to remove a small broken screw for the trim ring on a guitar. What size hole plug bit do I need to make a plug for the 1/4" screw extractor?
