@@dragormeghar2100 thanks for the information. I think the bits were not strong enough to cut into the deck screws. I've removed other softer screws with no problems.
First, they’re only titanium plated. Second, you should use smaller size extractor bit. If it can’t drill a nice DEEP hole, use a good metal drill bit, then use the extractor to reverse drill it out at SLOW speed.
Yo! Your advice work like a charm. I spent the first 30 mins dicking with the cutting tip that speed out came with and got no where. After reading your comment, I busted out the Milwaukee metal bits and then used the extraction tool and it came out with the quickness
@@jjking8577 they make drill bits out of different metals for different tasks. For drilling through metal, it’s recommended to use a carbide drill bit or a titanium drill bit (either fits into any standard driver or you can use an impact drill if you use a hex-shaped drill bit). The commenter was saying that he used a drill bit meant to drill into metal, then used the extractor (the screw-out tool) to remove the stripped screw.
Glad i saw this video, I've tried this product several times and followed the directions to the last detail. Each time, i thought i was doing something wrong. I agree with you, the product does not work.
Coincidentally, I bought and used one of these kits today. I had a good set of screw extractors which were stolen, so when I had a bad screw to remove I looked to replace them. I was in a hurry and couldn't find the ones I wanted, so I picked up one of these sets. They worked fine on this screw; it was removed in about 15 seconds. I don't know how well they will hold up long term, but they worked this time.
Just bought a set from Home Depot about 2 hours ago, tried it, and got the same exact results you did. Wish I'd seen this video earlier today. Super frustrating.
It worked like a charm. I had little trouble using the smallest bit first - dug a shallow hole out slowly, but used the next size extractor when the first size didn't work and that removed it easily. I'm luckily only one screw on the 48v battery was stripped - it locks down w three screws which still work w hex head. Just work slowly when you dig out the hole, and also slowly when you extract with a larger size bit - so this is fine, I'll keep the set of 4 for any future screws.
@@derek7793 I used this to remove the original door hinges for three doors in my 1948 home, 18 screws total. It works but you have to use a lot of pressure behind the drill and really cut a hole in the top of the screw. In terms of durability I broke one of the bits on an especially difficult screw but given the modest price it was worth it.
I'm using SPAX Made in The USA Fasteners, they got Heat Treated Philips and Torx Head carbon steel Exterior and Interior Screws using a Philips bit #2 and I never had this kind of problem. Sometimes this thing happens when you use a cheap type fasteners. Or you can Still use cheap ass fasteners but make sure it's a Torx head screws for less strip out and cam out. Or you should pre-drill your hole first before installing the fasteners.
@Luke Gu I sat there and tried drilling it out for like 30 seconds to make sure I was deep enough. Then I switched to extractor, pushed hard, slow trigger, and nothing, no bite. I tried several sizes, different methods, always tried extracting with FORCE and SLOW, no bite.
I bought a set of irwin brand extractors. They worked really well especially for those door hinge bolts. I even used it on my brake rotor screw. Tool em right out.
I just had your same experience and then while trying to make the hole bigger with end A (the end that looks like it would be the grippy removal one), the screw actually came out. so unexpectedly that I then grabbed it with my fingers and it was so hot from friction that I burned my fingers. worse than grabbing a hot pan out of the oven. So maybe try End B to ream it out, and End A to bring it out.
Trz Home Depot was selling them I think last year or the year before during the Christmas holidays on Black Friday. I thought they were gimmicky thank God I didn't buy them. Your videos are keeping me on my toes. Thanks for schooling me on those junk bits. Peace brother
I'm surprised they even still sell these. I just took them back and the lady asked if anything was wrong with them. Told her they were the worst tool that I ever used. She said I'll just mark down they didn't work lol
These bits do work for the most part. I was on a job yesterday and had to remove about 10 round hex bolts, only a couple beat me. You just have to be patient.
We just tried this at home to remove Philips screws really stuck and stubborn in a metal plate in our washing machine... We stripped them trying to get them out, as they're really stuck in there... we bought this product and at first didn't seem to work, but then I just tried a bit more and used side 1 longer and deeper cone cut out and then put to side 2, and gotta go slow (drill needs to have variable speed to go slow movement) and sure enough it worked and got out all the screws... So It Worked !!! I don't have video of doing this, but reporting here honestly. I have photo of the screws after I took them out to see the cone cut out shape in them.. so it works folks !! Money well spent and changed a tub seal on our own and saved $$ calling a pro in.
Thanks for the video. I have a similar set, made by Irwin, and after watching your video, I was able to remove 3 hinge screws that were stripped and painted over.
Thanks for your demo. I am eager to buy that because I have a stripped screw in my faucet. I used drill and different size of bit but no success. I am tempting to buy that AS SEEN ON TV screw extractor but am glad I saw your video. You save me 15 bucks and disappointment.
Yeah, got the exact result as you! AND I curse any and all Phillips screws. I only believe in using Torx screws, they are without a doubt by far the best screws. No pilot hole drilling, so now 10 times faster than any Phillip's head screw.
This video came up at the top of the list. Made me think I had no hope. But this brand worked for me. I was just uncertain if I was using it in the right order…..
The set shown in the video was probably made with a softer cheap material, The same design under a different name like "Grabit Pro" which are a more silver/Titanium Color work well .
So it's Phillip's bolt extractors that work? I tried a Speed Out - the right size and side - on a bolt that was rounded and I drilled for several minutes, hardly a hole.
They do work. I’ve had a set for a couple years, they work as extractors. I have plenty of good drill bits, so I don’t generally use the drill end of the bits, I drill out with Milwaukee Shockwave bits, then use the extractor end.
Yes mine work great also. You have to use low speed on your drill and they most definitely will remove the screws. Most drills have a speed control in the trigger pull, if you don't press the trigger all the way the drills will spin a lot slower. 👌 and mostly all brands of drills have that feature. Less pull of the trigger in high or low speed setting will reduce the rpms of the drills. 🤷♂👌
Interesting... I've used similar screw extractor bits before and had pretty good results. That "titanium" is clearly too soft to do the job. Shouldn't round like that.
Hi, do you need a high power screwdriver? I have not had one, I am thinking about getting a 12V cordless with low gears or a 280w corded screwdriver. What type of screwdriver did you use?
Same results. I've been trying this shit for 2 days straight and all the sizes just spin freely inside the head of the screw. No matter how hard I press it in while drilling or no matter what size. The screws stuck in are the torqx and the head is stripped to a point where they're almost super smooth and that is why I decided to try the speed out bits. I'm getting my money back. I have no clue how the others are able to get positive results.
I have a set of Irwin extractor bits and if used at a slow speed they work pretty good but I use a separate drill bit to drill, then the extractor bit in the kit. I've only had to extract a few screws over the last few years so the kit is there if I need it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Clint.
I was able to get this to work, But it takes a lot of pressure and you have to drill fairly slow. Once you get it to bite it will almost pull the screw out with the A side If you have enough downward force on the screw.
Wish I would have seen your video, I bought these the other day at the big box store, they suck did not budge the bolt. Now I have to go wait in the corona line and return them. Worst part is my bolt is still stuck. Thanks for the video.
I didn't buy these, but some different ones via Amazon. Had exactly the same problem. Instead of the extractor drilling into the screw, the screw stripped the metal off the outside of the extractor. Doesn't anyone make decent tools any more with the need for a small loan?
I've seen those at Home Depot and I do remember seen them on TV I thought about purchasing them I've actually pick them up and held them in my hand and just couldn't come to purchase them because I didn't know if they work I have my answer now thank God I didn't buy them
They do work great, if you use them with a drill/driver ,not impact driver, also slow trigger pull and using a slow speed works perfectly. I have them and used them already and they worked great. And I used my Dewalt Xtream 12v drill / driver with the extractor. Not a problem.
What I did was drill the hole but in the drill setting and then the extraction was in the reverse setting. It was a different set of screw extractor tool.
In all fairness I just tried this on a really badly stripped screw and it worked. It didn’t work on the smaller size but as soon as I went up to the next size it came right out like butter. Thank GOD. The screw was on a very critical spot on a product that I’m selling for my business. Woohoo!!!’
Some of the wording here makes it sound like he was running it in reverse for the B side only. Other demonstrations I've seen said it has to be in reverse for the A side driving as well.
Yup you should drill in reverse with these as well. This is the number one mistake people make with these, 99.9% of the time these "don't work" is from people not using them properly or not knowing how to use them.
I have mixed reviews on this product, I used it and initially it didn’t work. Then I read some of the comments and I went about it slower on the drilling out and it finally worked about awhile. My bits didn’t get eaten up but it wasn’t as easy as they make it out.
I bought this and it did help very well. ... I just did not follow their instructions. I did it my way first use A side on drill. Second use B side on a very low speed such a 3 or 4 is good, the hammering on low speed will help to dig in and keep on trying on very low speed and hammering. If does not help move to speed 5. It should work
I FIGURED THIS TOOL OUT! I was having the same issues with the extractor just slipping and the bore tool not doing much boring. I was about to return the thing. I solved the issue by boring first at high speed with LOTS of pressure. Do that for a few seconds until you aren't getting any deeper. Also make sure to not move your drill around to much because you don't want to widen the hole. Here's the tricky part. It's counter intuitive but when you swap to the extractor end DONT PUSH WHILE YOU TURN. Before you start turning you can push a little to kind of "set" the extractor. But before you start turning let off all the pressure and go SLOW. You'll feel it grip the screw head and keep going slow until you get the head out and then you can go a little faster. It's actually surprising how much those thin threads grip the screw head. Sometimes it's actually hard to get the screw off the extractor! Hope this helps!
I was at Home Depot today and they were out on the front on display. I almost, I say almost picked them because of the inviting gold color and the fact it said titanium which made me think the would be rock solid. Thank goodness I didn't buy and ended up watching your youtube video. You just saved me $10. And I now find out they are only titanium plated from the reviewer below. I was thinking they were solid titanium. Anyway, thanks again for your video.
The hardware store where I bought my set from told me that it was unlikely to work before I paid for it. I bought it anyway, took it home, and guess what, - none of the set worked!
You have to use the smaller bit and everything you do must be done at a slow speed with the drill. They do work I used just yesterday and practiced 10 times
I'm glad I watch these things I seen on TV for people who try their products and come out with the truth. The bad thing with As Seen On TV products they don't last on the shelves very long they may make it a year after that you can't find them. Unless up there found somewhere start somewhere where third party has them.
Looking for something a little stronger when I ran across this video. Must say that I've used this set several times on "basic" stripped screws and it always works for me.
I have a set, and they work fine. What you’re doing wrong is trying to back out the screw so quickly. Drill the hole in the screw more deeply, not larger, and then use the extractor end and sloooooowly back it until it grabs solidly. Then continue to slowly back out the screw.
I did bro. Tried everything and no go. I think the metal is just was to soft and not able to cut the screw like I was hoping it would. Thanks for the feedback
The fact that the Philips bit worked in the end is all the evidence you need that it was not done properly. The drive of the head should be a completely smooth hole- you didn't drill out the drive portion of the head fully and should have never proceeded to the extractor end until you did that. The extractor ends work, but if the drill ends don't do a good enough job, you would have been better off using your own twist drills. Hard to tell if the drill end of the extractor was truly junk, or if was user error again.
I bought a set, not sure if it was this brand, same thing happened, the ones I bought were from a tool shop for pro builders & mechanics etc.. so they were expensive.. but like these were rubbish.
I bought a kit it didn't work screw head stripped it using a Philips I managed to get one screw out with just a Philips but needed to remove 5 more I tried everything tried cutting the head off no luck, heated it up thought maybe loc tight might be on threads still nothing I give up trying to remove the guard off a bench grinder 🤬
You are supposed to use the cutting side in clockwise Forward drilling in then flip the bit to the cone side. Now switch from drill to counterclockwise REVERSE and slowly reverse it. Works fine.
I got mine today and I got the metal color one and it worked. I used the small and used a then b then a. When I go to so again to try to make the hole bigger it just pulled it out. I was like umm ok.
I wanted to believe in these. I specifically bought these because of the cool flip gimmick. I tried them today, following the instructions to the letter - even pushing hard and trying to extract very slowly. No dice. I tried the smallest first, then moved up and then back down in sizes. Nothing. What I believe the issue is, is that the borer drill is just crappy and didn't work well. I feel like the extractor would have worked just fine if the borer had done a better job. I used a regular drill bit and it worked WAY better. (Unfortunately I did not test the biting bit to see if it would work. I was just frustrated and felt left down at that point.)
And I thought it was just me, doing something wrong. Thanks for this, I feel better now.
Ggggv.

Right…. Fugg this kit
No, really thank you. This comment made me feel better lol

Great advice thanks I'm going to try that.
I was at Home Depot today and they were out on the front on display. I almost, I say almost picked them because of the inviting gold color and the fact it said titanium which made me think the would be rock solid. Thank goodness I didn't buy and ended up watching your youtube video. You just saved me $10. And I now find out they are only titanium plated from the reviewer below. I was thinking they were solid titanium. Anyway, thanks again for your video.
And thank you for the comment AM 👊👊
Are you from Pittsburgh???
Show where is it made in!
I had the EXACT same problem.... They don't work...
Worked for me a few times.. Not as easy as they make it look.. But I did manage
The hardware store where I bought my set from told me that it was unlikely to work before I paid for it. I bought it anyway, took it home, and guess what, - none of the set worked!
Just bought my set today. Needless to say it’s a piece of crap! Wish I would’ve saw this review first. 😐
Mine are m2 steel and I use a manual impact driver smacking it with a hammer.
You have to use the smaller bit and everything you do must be done at a slow speed with the drill.
They do work I used just yesterday and practiced 10 times
I'm glad I watch these things I seen on TV for people who try their products and come out with the truth. The bad thing with As Seen On TV products they don't last on the shelves very long they may make it a year after that you can't find them. Unless up there found somewhere start somewhere where third party has them.
I literally just bought a pack of them for work and wanted to see how they work before I use them
Looking for something a little stronger when I ran across this video. Must say that I've used this set several times on "basic" stripped screws and it always works for me.
I bought a set like them and not one worked.
I picked them up yesterday and I stripped a screw and it did actually work pretty well
Bro you need to slow it wayyy down and put a ton of pressure on it, though idk about the tv brand of these
I use a left handed drill bit first, then the extractor
Mine does not work. Maybe my screws are too tough
2:53 That drill doesn't seem to be in reverse or are my eyes deceiving me it looks like its turning in the same direction the screw went in on.
I have a set, and they work fine. What you’re doing wrong is trying to back out the screw so quickly. Drill the hole in the screw more deeply, not larger, and then use the extractor end and sloooooowly back it until it grabs solidly. Then continue to slowly back out the screw.
Just had the same result with the same product... So now which one actually works? 😣😏
Bro you caught me mad late I just testing them out and they are garbage this is 100% real facts and video
Rockler woodworking has better ones supposedly
The same thing happened to me. They don't work and were very costly
They have worked great for me. Had no problems at all.
Surely it shouldn’t be in reverse initially?
It is. Reverse for both sides,
HI, I had EXACTLY the same result as you!! I will try some of the comments below but frankly such work arounds should not be necessary.
how do they get away with it >??
I've had success with them, drill slow and drill deeper than you did. Not all cases will work but they have saved me a few times.
I did bro. Tried everything and no go. I think the metal is just was to soft and not able to cut the screw like I was hoping it would. Thanks for the feedback
@@ToolReviewZone maybe I just got a good batch of them, hopefully a better version comes out.
The fact that the Philips bit worked in the end is all the evidence you need that it was not done properly. The drive of the head should be a completely smooth hole- you didn't drill out the drive portion of the head fully and should have never proceeded to the extractor end until you did that.
The extractor ends work, but if the drill ends don't do a good enough job, you would have been better off using your own twist drills. Hard to tell if the drill end of the extractor was truly junk, or if was user error again.
Ok what about a broken head supposedly it can but I can't find a video
I wish i saw this before i bought one and figured it out the hard way... 😪
They work fine. The problem is the EZ OUT is basically a one or two time use kinda thing.
I bought a set, not sure if it was this brand, same thing happened, the ones I bought were from a tool shop for pro builders & mechanics etc.. so they were expensive.. but like these were rubbish.
I bought a kit it didn't work screw head stripped it using a Philips I managed to get one screw out with just a Philips but needed to remove 5 more I tried everything tried cutting the head off no luck, heated it up thought maybe loc tight might be on threads still nothing I give up trying to remove the guard off a bench grinder 🤬
had the same damm shit happen too mee thanks for bringing it to the people
Worked to take a sheard bolt out of a lawn mower deck that held the blade..
You are supposed to use the cutting side in clockwise Forward drilling in then flip the bit to the cone side. Now switch from drill to counterclockwise REVERSE and slowly reverse it. Works fine.
They are crap
Negative. Both sides are for Counterclockwise. It's in the directions.
I got mine today and I got the metal color one and it worked. I used the small and used a then b then a. When I go to so again to try to make the hole bigger it just pulled it out. I was like umm ok.
I wanted to believe in these. I specifically bought these because of the cool flip gimmick. I tried them today, following the instructions to the letter - even pushing hard and trying to extract very slowly. No dice. I tried the smallest first, then moved up and then back down in sizes. Nothing.
What I believe the issue is, is that the borer drill is just crappy and didn't work well. I feel like the extractor would have worked just fine if the borer had done a better job. I used a regular drill bit and it worked WAY better. (Unfortunately I did not test the biting bit to see if it would work. I was just frustrated and felt left down at that point.)
