    Excellent instructional video. Its the best on You Tube regarding worn and stripped screw extraction. Highly technical with expert narration.

  • @jamesbarber8241

    Good video.. I like to live life dangerously so I selected the drill bit size by eye and drilled into the screw head. The extractor was too small so I placed the next size up in my cordless drill, set to reverse and the screw was fully extracted.. this was not a mission critical situation. Just an old wooden batten attached to the wall at the top of a cellar head 😂

    Why do you need to match it to the drill bit? You measure the drill bit and then jump to the extractor. Thanks

      Use a smaller drill bit and smaller extractor bit that is a little smaller than the shaft of the broken screw

    Great video. A lot of good minor details in your commentary. One thing that might help for those who have never done it before… after you get your set of extractors home and opened up, take several minutes to “practice” before making an actual first attempt on one that is important to get extracted. This helped me a lot with trying different setups. 👍

    But does it work as well for a slotted screw, where there is less to grab on to?

    • @diyrabbit
      @diyrabbit  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It should work just as well since you will need to drill the screw head anyways.

    Do you use the same size screw extractor bit as the actual screw size?

    • @diyrabbit
      @diyrabbit  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, each screw size has a corresponding screw extractor.

  • @mknoyce
    @mknoyce 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Seems every extractor available at Big box home stores gets overwhelmingly horrible reviews reporting that they break and don't work. I wonder if they are turning wrong way or using power drill??

    • @diyrabbit
      @diyrabbit  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They’re most likely using a power tool. The key is to go really slow.

      you can try using valve compound in the fastener and on the screwdriver to get a better bite. if it has a decent size head you can also try grabbing it with a set of pliers that have aggressive tooth pattern.

    I am trying to DIY and outer tub replacement on an old washing machine. Well...I haven't gotten very far. The brackets outside the control panel have two philips screws. One came off fairly easily. The OTHER one?...FuhGETaboutit! A WD-40 type spray did NOT Good.
    Even if I can get that screw off, I still have to figure out the agitator head cover, and I'm Sure their will be other snafus down the road.
    If that DANG tub hadn't rusted, the machine would probably be good to go for another twenty years (it's almost forty years old already.)
