Make sure to use the slow speed high torque setting (1) on your drill when doing the extracting. Only use the high speed (2) setting for making the initial pilot hole.

I have used this type of tool with great success which surprised me because the screw I wanted to remove was over torqued and threadlocked into place. There are 2 things you have to do for this to be successful. 1) when using the bit to drill out the screw head, use the bit the size smaller than the recommended one then use the bit the next size up when you attempt removal. 2) use hand tools only when using the removal end of the bit. Power tools have too much immediate torque.

I bought a manual kit. So you use the drill to prep the stripped screw, but when extracting, you use ratchet with little bit of pressure. Worked for me. Take your time and don't over power the tools.

Never had any luck with any kind of screw extractor. They either stripped out or broke just like yours. Especially with hardened steel head bolts on my Subaru.

I have an old set of Craftsman (back when Craftsman still made good stuff) extractors but never used them...until two weeks ago. I simply took a 3/32" drill bit and drilled into the broken 1/4-20 bolt, then removed it with the extractor. Worked like a charm.

I used that exact set a few days ago. I had to switch from the smallest extractor to the medium one. I think a difference in how I got them to work was that I was using an impact drill, and I had it go very slowly. I was also pressing very hard into the screw.

Craftsman had the same system before they were made in China and had similar results. I went and bought a what I would call a traditional screw extractor set. I have used these in the past. They take a little longer but are tried and true and work

I had the very same results...now I know I'm not the only one this happens to. Thanks!

Used a similar set recently. The extraction bit with the thread was also spinning inside the screw, even when going slowly with the drill. So I then did it by hand by attaching the extraction bit to a ratchet. This worked as after a few turns it started biting and took the screw out.

I think the idea of the drilling part is good because you could always make a small rectangle shade with the smaller ones a try with a flat head screw driver to remove the screw

A couple of pro tips if I may. #1 use a regular drill bit to start with so you dont prematurely wear out the drill bit end. #2 ALWAYS go straight in, trying to remove on an angle well break your extractor 9 times out of 10. #3 make sure that you drill deep enough. If your hole is wider than the part of the extractor you have in the hole it will not grab. #4 there are less expensive brands that work just as good condition if not better.

@@homerthompson6028 make sure when drilling out the new hole on the first step to keep the drill straight and steady. If the bit moves around, then you will create too large of a hole for the extracting side of the bit. Also make sure you have tapped it deep enough so the coned end of the bit's sides make contact in the new tapped hole. Also you need to put some force behind the drill and push down on it when you start to extract. Use a drill that has variable speed and do it slowly. You use to much power and you will likely snap the bit. If you still have tried a few times already using the same bit and still can't get it to bite then the bit may have already worn down. Do you currently have a stripped screw? If so then there are alternative methods you can try. There are other extractors that have more aggressive bite to them that you use with a hammer that applies downward force enabling a better grip. If you have a stripped screw or bolt where it still has the head on then you can use a disc grinder and cut grooves that will fit a Phillips head or a flathead and then use an impact screwdriver (I don't mean an electric impact driver or hammer drill) to loosen the stuck fastener. The impact screwdriver twists slightly when smacked with a hammer and at the same time downward force is applied by the hammer striking thus providing a better bite and less chance if slipping and stripping the fastener. Also make sure you have the right size screwdriver. An ill fitting one will just strip again.

@@homerthompson6028 you just need to drill down as deep as possible so you can get as much of the extracting cone end in there to twist and grab onto the sides. The more you can get it there then the less chances of it slipping. But be careful to go so deep that you detach the head of the screw. Apply some force behind it during the "extraction part of the process" to help it dig in. Otherwise it will likely spin and strip. Other reasons this may not work is the screw is in there just to tight and made of too soft an alloy.

Some things may have been done better 1. Drill a hole in the screw head first 2. Use a bigger extractor bit 3. Go very slow on rotation but with as much pressure as possible applied on the screw !! Go counterclockwise from the start.

I also broke off two of the extractor ends of the bits to the similar set - grabit speed out extractor set. But they DID work using the other sizes eventually. I used the drill slowly until it “grabbed” and the removed the drill and used a socket wrench to finish it out. Boy it was an ordeal I tell you.

I was an aircraft mechanic and I have taken lots of stripped out screws out. The best way I found was to use a speed handle with a large knob on the top with a screw driver bit holder and lean hard against the screw and bump the handle to rotate the screw out. If that doesn't work drill the center of the screw with a drill bit the correct size for the extractor bit. Snap on makes an extractor set that looks like a bolt but the shaft has the extractor. Use the speed handle with a socket that the extractor fits in and slowly turn it counter clock wise while applying a lot of pressure to make sure it digs into the metal. Snap on also makes extractors that look like drill bits but you will need a special socket that it fits into to turn it with a speed handle or rachet.

I am glad I am not the only one not able to extract a stripped screw using these extractors. I was doubting if I did not know how to use it. I am going to try the dremel and screwdriver method.

Some people I believe call these "easy outs"? In any case, this was what I needed. Thanks for posting.

I just used my screw extractor kit on a ton of outdoor screws on my porch and it worked most of the time. You need to make a deeper hole with the first step before putting in the thread thread bit to attempt extraction. This is what I learned. I had Irwin brand.

2 things, use the easy outs by hand no power tools and another option is to use a drill bit drill off the screw head,remove the handbar,then use vise grips to remove the rest of the screw.

I tried one of those on a crankshaft seal retainer bolt on an aircraft engine. I had to do it through one of the prop stud holes. When it snapped I had no choice but to drill out the extractor and try something else. It took 4.5 hours to drill out the extractor and burned up about 20 #30 cobalt drill bits. It was a different brand (Grabbit) but same tool. Once the extractor was removed I ended up drilling the hole oversize for a Helicoil. Worked perfect in the end. Moral for me was to not use those on anything without a second possible option. I invested in some Vampliers, too.

I've used those to remove screws that were stuck in studs too, and my biggest take away was, if there's not adequate pressure being applied to the drill while turning the bit, the sharpest point of the edge can get caught in the wrong groove and break just like that, also if drill and bit are not completely level that could break it too!

Sometimes the drilling end of the bit alone provides enough bite to remove the screw depending on how stuck in it is. Thanks for the video though, was interesting to see how these Dewalt bits perform 👌🏻

Good to know of these bits. But I guess the easier way would have been to saw in a new slit (using a rotary tool) and then use the usual screw driver.

Try a solid strike with a hammer, then use a soldering iron. As the screw cools, it may break the tension and corrosion from years of outdoor life. If it were metal on metal, heat it as hot as possible and hit it with cold water to break the rust and corrosion bond.

We use the Pro-Grabit (I think owned by Snap-On) in the aerospace industry all the time. The cutting side wears out pretty fast. Also you have to use LOW speed on the extractor side, preferably with the clutch set around 12-15. You can also use a crescent wrench to break the screw free.

As a former contractor I made a few observations, one of them has been noted in other comments, but I did not see the others... 1. Straight! If you cannot have straight access you WILL snap off your bit. Try an extension, readily available in multiple lengths so your tool does not come in contact or rub. 2. The package clearly shows an IMPACT, not a drill. You can also see that this was designed for an impact by the ring cut just behind the tip (meant for locking into an impacts quick release chuck). Impacts work by using less constant torque, instead there is a type of "hammering" that makes a huge difference. This also works in the case of rusted bolts and screws as well. 3. Speed, just about every impact (and drill) these days has a variable speed trigger allowing you to control the speed (in addition to the speed setting switch). When men come to work for me and don't have experience with these power tools they often strip or break tips, screws, and bolts because they pull the trigger all the way instead of applying only the pressure needed to the variable speed trigger. Try-try again as they say.

I am (amateur) so glad that you (professional) have the same problems with the tool!

If you have enough of the damaged screw sticking out, then use a set of locking pliers (a.k.a. "vise grips") to grab a hold and unscrew. It's a bit tedious, but it works most of the time.

@@simonz4936 you’d be surprised how many products are made in china but sold as a “assembled in US” product that people swear by their great quality. I sell central AC units assembled by Kenmore but made in china. No complaints from customers. 😂

Don’t use these Dewalt extractors. They are way, way too brittle. Irwin and other brands are much better.

Thanks for the tip!

Dude you’re reaction was priceless, way to keep your cool but i about died laughing 😂😂 results were still there with the trusty saw blade!!

Gen Expert, ty for Video great job, I also bought same bits form HD. To remove screws on my porch deck and it basically tore the heads off the screw & eventually broke just like yours. So had to revert to old fashion elbow grease, chiseling, hacksaw and Dremel, I was disappointed to say the lease!

snap on versions of these tools work so well, worth the money. they bite when other tools strip out, lose grip or break

- Same experience here with that kind of extractor kit. Not that there are much instructions on how exactly to use it. - There is also a trick worth trying where you press a rubber band in the screw head so that your screwdriver has more grip. - In the end, I usually end up using a saw and/or pliers in those situations.

A couple times in the past year I’ve drilled stripped screw heads, hammered in a torx bit and backed them out- discovered this in desperation and started backing the screw out by hand. It works & it’s a lot cheaper. Oh and I also keep 1/8LH drill bits in my bag of tricks

How about hammering in a cut nail, I did that years ago back when there were nails….

I had the same results as you did. My head didn't smap off.

I have a brand new pack i have never opened. Now i want to try them out. thanks for sharing your results.

I have a couple of "Easy-Outs" that I've had for years. I use them from time-to-time and, so far, they've been fine. Easy-Outs are longer extractor screws and drilling a hole in the broken screw or bolt is your problem. The Easy-Outs have square end for use with a spanner (not a drill) when extracting.

great, honest looking video.

Have used large enough drill bit to remove screw head first. Then removed piece from wall. Removed remaining screw with vise grip. Works every time. Patch spot and all good.

I got this exact set to work with my impact driver. I did have to switch them from smaller to larger.

Same thing happened to me when I tried these bits. I contacted their customer service and they sent multiple replacement packs for no charge.

I got the milwaukee ones. The #2 drill bit side actually sheared on the first go at low speed. Had to use an actual titanium nitride drill bit to properly drill the hole. The #2 extractor held up though, but who knows how long it’ll hold up in future use. I guess like all bits these are expendable and consumable tools

I can confirm those experiences. I encountered the same thing while trying to get a screw out from a split-system aircon cover. You didn't do anything wrong actually.

Take a drill bit (about the size of the screw head), and drill the stripped out portion of the head until it "pops" off. Remove the bracket from the wall. And there should be enough of the screw sticking out to grab with a pair of Vise Grips. Turn the left over threaded piece of screw out. 😊

Man worked for me perfect can’t complain

That is a well installed handle.

I use to drill a hole into the screws and force by hammering a long torx key inside the hole that i drilled,and then drive out the screws. For driving them out i use a DeWalt DCF894 and a set of beta 1/2 120mm long torx.

I bought the same set and had the exact same results that you did.

The angle is what is breaking it. Use extension. Another trick: get an old beat-up phillips screwdriver. Heat the tip red-hot with a blowtorch. Press screwdriver to the screw. The heat will transfer in & char & weaken the wood. You may have to reheat the driver & apply multiple times.

Dremel tool with the zip blade, use it to make a slot all the way across screw head and use flathead screw driver to remove. Works most of the time, if that fails, 8lb sledge will take the screw Sheetrock and stud out perfectly.

That is really sad. Been there and done that myself. I usually end up using the hack saw blade as you did, or if I can get any kind of a grip I use vise grips pliers and go from there. I am very surprised to see such a failure by a DeWalt product. This is something to remember.

I haven't had much luck with anyone's screw extractors but maybe I just need to work on my technique. What I have found that sometimes works is to shove the tip of a Phillips-head screwdriver into the hole and give the screwdriver a decent tap with a hammer. That will often dent the screw material enough for the tip to grab and allow extraction to get started. That also works with painted-in screws. And, once the head is part-ways out you can grab it with a decent set of pliers and rotate it out. (I can hear people complaining that you shouldn't hit a screwdriver with a hammer, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll also use a screwdriver to open a can of paint.)

I've pretty much given up on screw extractors. Now I just drill out the head of the screw. Once the hardware is removed there is enough screw body sticking out of the wall to work on one way or another.

Just used one from an original "EZ Out" set from years ago and just the drill side in reverse actually bit and unscrewed the screws. These things are kind of hit or miss but great when it works, surprised to see the dewalt brand crapped out like that
