- We have all seen those "As Seen On TV tools and gimmicks, but will this (Speed Out) stripped screw extractor set really remove ANY stripped screw?

And I thought it was just me, doing something wrong. Thanks for this, I feel better now.
Ggggv.
M V casa😐😐
It's not you lol
Right…. Fugg this kit
No, really thank you. This comment made me feel better lol
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.
Thank you!!! It did not work but once I drilled the hole, worked like a charm. Thank goodness I saw your comment!
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
@@kyleleah4830 new to these terms can you explain in simple terms ?
@@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.
spot on!
Purchased product yesterday, having the same problem. Wish I would have seen this video earlier.
Same thing. I'm replacing deck boards. Doesn't work at all. I'm going to try and get my money back. Home depot should not sell this garbage.
@@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.
They work for me as a technician and have been a great tool to have in my box I don't use them often but when I do they simply work as intended.
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.
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.
Im so glad i watched this i was just heading out to pick these up,thank u
Lol, they are horrible George. Stay far far away
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.
Tha is for the feedback AJ
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.
I bought one of these couple years ago. Had the same results.
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.

🎃🎃😊
He didn’t drill the bit in all the way before extracting. I just bought this and it works perfectly
looks like the bit in the video was getting damaged right away, how long did yours last ?
@@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.
@@miguelalmodovar9201 forsure thanks for the information
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.
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.
I’ve been working for an hour straight and it hasn’t moved one turn yet
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.
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.
I appreciate the video - I have a snapped bolt that I need to remove. I'll look for some other solution.
Best wishes sent to you from the UK.
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.
Thanks for the feedback William! I've heard a lot of people saying the Irwin is good. I'm going to try it
I've used this several times and it worked each time. I just used it a few seconds ago with no issues
Man when you unscrewed that with the Phillips bit at the end i fricking laughed out loud. Nice!
Hahaha
Speed Out Pro saved my butt a number of times. I've been using them for years!!!
I drill counterclockwise like instructions stated and this didn’t work 😩 then I ran into your video I wish I knew this before hand
Thanks for sharing
My dad bought the Izar ones. I think they work pretty well.
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
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
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.
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.
I bought these today for gunsmithing I usually use different ones but realized the same thing kinda happened but I went smaller and it actually came out. The project was for an Allen head screw.
Glad I saw this before buying, was walking past it and it caught my eye @ the depot glad I didn’t pick it up though
Glad i saw this video first...ty
I'v had a set of these for 3 years used them dozens of time they work every time for me.
The cobalt ones have worked for me several times as well. I've seen negative reviews on the new titanium ones...it seems they are not really titanium.
They worked for me also. 👌 I'm buying another set. One for taking to work and one set will be in my work shop. 👌
@@lesswatt way to soft to be titanium. I Should have went with the cobalt
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…..
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.
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.
It works great! I did about 10 screws that were stripped very bad. I messed up the first screw, but dont go to fast and ur good
My exact thing. I couldn’t get it to work, then some old guy on TH-cam said to go slow, and it worked like a charm!
Did you try a regular drill bit then the extractor?
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.
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.
Agree bro. Thanks for the feedback!!
I just used a set very similar to this one and it worked like a charm maybe this guy's set was cheap!!
I have the same set but cobalt had em for a couple years no issues at all and they work great 🤔
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 .
I just drilled into a damn Allen bolt on my r6 not realizing this kit doesn't even work. Just drilled a giant hole in it.
Worked for me!
I bought them several years ago for one screw holding a window ac in place. I ended up using a wrench.
I use these in very upscale rc cars and trucks and they do work very well on stripped hex screws that most hobbyist use.
Yeah they are probably softer metal which helps?
@@ToolReviewZone negative sir, they use 12.9 grade hardened steel, nothing harder than that. 12.9 > titanium > 10.9 > stainless steel.
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.
Mine works. I drilled out the bleeder nipple on a brake caliper and it worked. I did not see this on TV. I have had it in my toolbox for a few years.
Thanks for posting. The exact thing happened to me and now I'm returning this Garbage.
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.
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.
They have worked great for me. Had no problems at all.
Hello. I just used this ten min ago. In defense of this product, it Worked like a charm.
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?
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!!!’
Just bought my set today. Needless to say it’s a piece of crap! Wish I would’ve saw this review first. 😐
Worked for me a few times.. Not as easy as they make it look.. But I did manage
had the same damm shit happen too mee thanks for bringing it to the people
I wish i saw this before i bought one and figured it out the hard way... 😪
Cut a slot in it with a Dremel tool then use a flat blade screwdriver. Works every time.
Oh good hack.
Had a couple stripped Phillips screws on my carb stuck so I went and picked these up. Now I have a couple cone-head screws stuck in my carb.
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.
Same for me. The drilling did nothing.
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.
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
Yeah bro, they are laughable at most haha
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.
Jason Levesque really so he did it the wrong way then so thank you for telling me I appreciate that
@@josephmalinowski6817 definitely should buy it then. Dont say I didn't warn ya
No wonder they didn't work, you got the titanium set, duh. Should've got the Cobalt set, cause they're well....... Cobalt!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Worked for me
I literally just bought a pack of them for work and wanted to see how they work before I use them
I picked them up yesterday and I stripped a screw and it did actually work pretty well
I just pulled 10 screws out of a 100$ rusted to death rebuilt bike. Seem to work fine for me so far...
Worked for me to my surprise. Made few tries and insisted a bit and ended up removing the screws.
Let me offer my observation/experience. About 25 years ago, when I first started out with a construction crew, the carpenters complained non-stop about the quality of the 16s that were made in China. Ever since a teen, I had used other 16s to frame different structures, but the made-in-China nails were a f...joke! They were slightly thinner and weighed much less than the 16s I had used back in the 1980s. The made in China 16s were sure to bend if you didn't hit them directly head-on every time. Same with Phillip screws. I grew up with them, but sometime in the 1990s, I guess, a lot of hardware has been made in China, and I'll guess that's why those Phillips stripped so easily. After watching this video of the extractor not working, I grabbed my set that I just bought at Lowe's a couple of hours ago. At the bottom of the packet, in tiny font, it says "Made in China to Speed-out specifications." Right! Maybe made in China, but we've seen in recent days that China isn't above lying about anything. Good Luck to everyone with this cheap garbage floating around. I paid 19.95 + tax. Should've watched the vid first.
FYI: A few years ago, there was a lot of controversy about the bolts used to tie together sections of the new section of the Bay Bridge. On Engineer complaining was the same guy who took part in designing the BART in the Bay Area, and Metro in DC and Virginia. He said despite his warnings, obtuse politicians (my words) refused to listened, and used the bolts anyway. It seems there's an accident waiting to happen.
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.
How did you end up getting it out?
@@michaellloyd4170 had to scrape the part around the screw to make place to hold the screw with a plier and twist it out.
try hammering in the extractor
Mine worked. The big difference was my screw was tiny. Thanks.
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 👊👊
this should Be interesting, I just bought this set last week but haven't used it yet. 👌
Let me know what you think
I actually tried them last night. I stripped out a spax 3 inch pan head cabinet torx screw and, used my drill driver in low speeds in reverse like the instructions said and they worked perfectly. Not a problem . You can't use them in high speed they won't work properly. And never use an impact driver they won't work like that also. I did several different screws also with the same #1 bit extractor and it worked on all of them. 👌 I even took out a quarter inch thick, 3inch long lag bolt, not a problem. 👌 all low speed with my Dewalt 12v Xtream brushless drill / driver. Trust me they worked great for me. 👌
@@jasonlevesque9303 thanks for the feedback
@@ToolReviewZone ,no problem, I like your channel and watch all your videos. 👌 trust me I'm a fan. This was the only video I've watched that I didn't agree with. So i had to give it a try and see for myself. And it worked great for me. But keep making videos. 👌 and I really want to see you do another video with the drill on low speed setting and see if these work out better for you. I'm subscribed and have my notifications on. 👌
@@jasonlevesque9303 all good bro. I'm happy with the feedback and like to hear what others have to say. All I can say is that i did everything that the instructions and their own video said to do without the same results. I'm glad they worked for you, but its just my opinion that they are no good. That's one thing about be, if I don't like something, I won't say I do just for views or a sale.
I also had the same problems with the Speed Out wearing down at first step and after 10 minutes of drilling it was not digging in anymore. I think the COBALT version might work out better. So I will try those later today.
Did the cobalt ones work better?
@@ccbowers Yes the Cobalt works better with some effort. 5o what I came to realize is to make sure the first step digs in deep. The extracter end needs to grab in the recession deep. If not be prepared to move up to the size diameter. My stuck screw was in a metal/steel object and make sure you stay centered to not damage the threads to be used for a new screw once extracted.
@@aceball7076 That biggest problem people have with these is not understanding how they work (plus having a poor quality one). Without a clean hole (like you said) the extractor end won't bite properly. The fact that he could still pull out the screw with the Phillips bit in the video showed it wasn't done right.
It is certainly partially due to a poor drill end of the bit, but also user error. In this case, I would use a higher quality twist drill to get a cleaner hole, rather than continually increasing bit size before creating a clean hole to begin with.
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?
80 percent of the stuff doesn’t work but I can’t stop watching the commercials
I used them but found that the first bit worked best to remove screws not the side that was supposed to. Did it twice on two hard to remove screws
I have the same titanium extractor. Didn't work for me
To me it wirked perfectly. At the beginning I thought it wouldn't; but it did. Weird.
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.
Haha. So funny. Subscribed
Welcome to the channel bro!!!
Looks like you used step 1 backwards of it's intent...... As in the cutting should be done with the drill in reverse.
I thought so too, but either way I don't think it works.
They work fine. The problem is the EZ OUT is basically a one or two time use kinda thing.
Yea they work.
I had the EXACT same problem.... They don't work...
I use a left handed drill bit first, then the extractor
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
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.
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.
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!
Exactly how it went with mine....
Worked to take a sheard bolt out of a lawn mower deck that held the blade..
Just had the same result with the same product... So now which one actually works? 😣😏
Show where is it made in!
Yup.. happened to me just now. Bought it years ago and just got a chance to use it. Didn't get the titanium version. Oh well.
Mine are m2 steel and I use a manual impact driver smacking it with a hammer.
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
What a joke of a product....thanks for the video, I was actually considering buying a set like these, but I won’t now that I have seen your video
Are you from Pittsburgh???
I have found that you really need to make sure the new hole is clean and smooth and then go for the removal.
??
I bought a set like them and not one worked.
