How to remove a damaged screw with a broken screw extractor

I create an extreme example of a broken screw and then use a broken screw extractor to remove the screw.

    THANK YOU! there are FAR too many Shop Snobs that think "How could you POSSIBLY not know how to use/do XYZ", forgetting how few people were privileged enough to grow up with a handy parent, or owning property... so much so that tools like these don't come with instructions! 😖

    I bought mine several years ago ... about the time they did this video. Never used it until today. Working on my shed, there were several Phillipshead screws that were painted-over and embedded into the wood. The extractorS worked fine BUT (1) start at a slow speed when extracting, and (2) if the "correct" bit doesn't work, go to the next larger, and so on. That got me through a couple of very pesky screws. One "strike-out" ... a screw that wouldn't (wooden-t?) release was actually turning in the wood, so I just pryed the board loose; the screw wasn't holding-on to anything. Thanks for the great info and demo!

    Thanks very helpful!!!!!!!!! I purchased Speedout 5 years ago. At the time I had no use for the tool, but thought it would be something worth adding to my tool collection. Wala, 5 years later I have 2 stripped screws that must come out to replace door hinges. Works like magic. I was drilling in the wrong direction, but followed your direction and was done in 2 minutes. Thanks again!

    Have a Fisher and Paykel top loader gas dryer that was making a screeching noise due to a bad bearing. The M5 allen bolt on the inside of the drum was frozen and I ended up rounding it so that nothing would work to get it out. Went to Lowe's and bought a SpeedOut kit and ended up using the largest of the extractors and followed the instructions to the letter. Reamed it first with the drill in reverse to at least 1/16" of an inch into the bolt and then flipped the bit and used the extractor. The 1/2" drill I was using didn't have the power to turn the bolt (only to bite the bit into the bolt), so I clamped on a Vise-Grips locking pliers to the extractor bit and gave it a very slow, hard turn. And sure enough, I heard a snap and that bolt came loose. The extractor was into the bolt deep enough so that the heavy 1/2" drill I was using was literally hanging from it, but it didn't have the torque to do break the bolt. But, the SpeedOut did do the job. Consider me impressed with the tool. It may not work in all circumstances, but it is definitely something to have in the toolkit when all else fails. For $10 and a trip to Lowe's, it saved the day.

And the guys who did it before me used a drill and stripped almost every bolt on the washer and dryers and there impossible to get out. Right now I’m using drill bits and popping the heads off than using vice grips too get the bolt out. And it takes a good 5-10 minutes alone just too get the head too pop and I’m looking for a better and faster alternative

Often damaged and if you pull you may take half a sheet of drywall and even a 1-2 inch ching from a stud!!! Wil you have to pressure to remove something so tight you cant manually even make it squeak more than once.
