Alden 4507P Grabit Micro Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece Kit - Small Bolt and Screw Remover - Made in the USA

Expensive but worth every penny. I stripped yet another of my t6 torx screws on my Kershaw Bel-Air knife while working in it and instead of waiting the 6 weeks it takes for warranty work, I gave these a shot. Also why they decide to put so much loctite despite their screws stripping easily is beyond me. Worked flawlessly after I saw the video on YouTube and slowed down the extraction portion as suggested, definitely recommend for your small and stuck screws

I stripped the head of a 6.x32 Allen/hex screw on a pistol sight and had no way of removing it. To make matters worse, the screw was put in with blue Loctite. I bought this product as a last resort before admitting defeat and taking the slide to the gunsmith. I really didn't think it was going to work. Long story short? It was effortless. I've used easy outs but it's been years so I watched the video on their website as a refresher and let her rip. It took 2 minutes and that sucker was out. I used a small 12V drill so I didn't overpower it. Drill...remove...done.

These saved me hundreds of dollars. I made a mistake, and red loctited some very small set screws into a *very* expensive piece of equipment. When I went to change the component, the T10 head completely stripped, yes, I applied the proper amount of heat to loosen the loctite. These were easy to use, and after drilling, heated up the parts, very carefully and slowly reversed the bits into the drill holes, and the screws came out. Not sure how much more of a positive review I can write for them. Well worth it. Especially the smallest bit, which perfectly suited the small set screws I was removing. The bit was very sharp, and took good cuts with minimal down pressure.

Updated again - I never received the promised replacement bit. So have to go with my original assessment. The bit broke while attempting to extract a very soft screw. I can't recommend the product. While I was initially impressed with their quick reply and willingness to replace the broken bit, that was a month ago and the replacement has not arrived. Updated Review: The seller replied very quickly and is sending a replacement for the broken bit. Based on that and success using the other bits on a different screw, I'm upgrading to 4 stars for the quick customer service and the fact the bit worked on another screw without issue. Tried to use it to remove a pickguard screw on a guitar. These are not hard metal, not stainless, they strip very easily. In this case though, the cutting end of the smallest bit broke very quickly and without actually accomplishing the task. I understand that stuff like that happens, so may adjust this pending the sellers response. Also - the tip shearing off like that result in the guitar being damaged - fortunately, the damaged area is under the pickguard as it skipped off to the side of the screw in that direction instead of out into the visible part of the guitar, otherwise I'd be even more furious.

As long as you follow the directions and go slowly, these tiny extractors work well. In response to those reviews that claim these are poorly made because they break, I disagree. Out of necessity, extractors are very hard and brittle. Even the very best extractors (Rennsteig , Mac, Proto, Lisle etc.) will snap with seemingly little provocation. With extractors this small, the problem is even worse. You must take extra care and go very slowly. I know the directions recommend using an electric drill to turn the screw out, but unless you have very precise speed control, I think this method is asking for trouble. I’ve had much better luck using a tap handle, or even Vise Grip pliers. This gives you better control and tactile feedback. If it doesn’t feel like the screw wants to turn, you can stop and reassess the situation before you break the tool. In addition, you must be extremely careful not to bend the extractor as you are torquing it out. Doing so will almost certainly snap it. Before attempting to extract a frozen screw, using these extractors, or any others, you should apply some penetrating oil and let it sit for a while. You might also try tapping on the screw using an appropriately sized punch and hammer. This causes vibration that often helps breakdown corrosion between the threads. If the screw is really frozen, judicious application of heat can also help. In this case, you want to heat the area around the screw, not the screw itself. Used properly, these extractors work as well as any, and due to their small size allow you to extract small screws that otherwise would have to be drilled out.

Worked great and did the job quickly. Worth the money

I had to remove a stripped 3mm from an optic mount on a slide. This was my last hope to remove the screw. I used the smallest bit. The drill end was not very effective. After many attempts and several minutes, it did not make much of a dent in making a hole for the extractor to be inserted. I had to use a DeWalt drill bit to make a hole which only took a 5-10 seconds. Once I inserted the extractor end and hit reverse on my drill, the screw came out without much effort. That saved the day. So an A+ for the extractor end but a fail for the drill end. Overall four stars since this saved me a lot of money by being able to do the job myself. Although this cost me around $39, I think it potentially saved me a couple hundred dollars in time, shipping, and third party labor if I had to send this out to get fixed.

It took a little trial and error but I was able to successfully extract a super stubborn M2 screw from a microphone body that had been impossible to get out. It was also in a location on the mic that made it impossible to come at it from perfectly vertical. It still worked. You definitely want to run these bits slow. Take your time. I also learned you can use a soldering iron to heat the screw up a bit if there's any thread lock on there. I did this a couple of times and eventually was successful. They are pricey for what you get but I'll keep them forever.

This product did not drill into bolt when I drilled with a normal drill bit the grabber broke under pressure

These extractors are the best I have used. Not extremely durable, but reliable. I have used a lot of different types and these are really good.

If you have a old MacBook air mid 2012 . And the ssd original m.2 screw does not come out . This is the perfect tool for it especially small drill drill it first then extract the broken screw

Finally, a half decent screw extractor

I must say that I wasn't hopeful that this would work to extract a very small screw from the end of some cycle forks. The head had completely sheared off, leaving just the shaft, maybe 3mm across at best, and with a load of corrosion around the threaded plate it was stuck in. This was a last resort before shelling out £300 for replacement forks. However it works, and beautifully! The boring end seemed to just ignore the rough sheared face and seemed to find centre really easily, and then the screw in end managed to grip inside the hole, and unscrewed it beautifully. All with a piece of metal no more than 5mm by 3mm. Just take it REALLY slowly with the drill, be patient, and this will work. A cursory look at the bit head suggests that it hasn't sacrificed itself and will be good for many more applications. This isn't a cheap item, but in my case it's saved me over £250, so I'm very happy indeed.
