- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2020
- Which bolt and screw extractor set is best? Brands tested: Drill Hog, Bosch, Irwin Hanson, Speed Out Pro, Ryobi, Grabit Pro, Yosco, TIAMAT, Rennsteig, and Cleveland. Each tool tested on damaged exterior screws and grade 5 bolts. Extractors tested for maximum torque load on screws and bolts until failure (broken extractor or broken screw) or loss of grip by the extractor. Extractor durability and wear evaluated under a microscope. No sponsors on the Project Farm channel. It's all about unbiased testing. Hope you find this video helpful.

There is a new king extractor. The R.B.R.T. Extractor from Mac Tools.
Bummer, I was going to get the Bosch one

I just wanted to say thank you. I've seen a ton of your videos that have been helpful but this time I have 2 particularly difficult bolts to get out that I have stripped despite my best efforts not to. They are 5mm bolts (almost screws really) so I went with the Grabit Pro. I've never owned an exctractor set before and have always wanted one. Most helpful!!! Thanks again for the taking the time!
You are welcome!
Always enjoy your tests! Very informative! I also appreciate that your presentations have improved over some of the first ones. You seem more relaxed and less camera conscious! Looking forward to your continued tests.
Thanks!
Whenever I need to buy a tool. I check Project Farm. Always has great content.
I’m addicted to this channel. I watch every one. You never know when you’ll need to buy a gadget, and it’s nice to know which one to buy. Better than ‘Consumer Retorts’. 🤪

Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm reverse pitch drill bits.
It's because you needed it to work. That's when they don't is what i'm learning.
Hi Project Farm, your channel has been an absolute GODSEND for myself working with tools as a hobbyist. I have always followed the philosophy of "the right tool for the right job", and it's amazing to see your tests giving each product an equal opportunity to perform with standardized testing.
Although I have always paid top dollar for tools to avoid doing the job twice, what amazes me is the pleasant surprise of more affordable products sometimes beating the more expensive ones from your tests!
Thank you again and please continue these videos, they are an absolute necessity for anyone working with them! Much love!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
I love watching his channel too because I learn new things. My lawnmower’s pull cord broke and I was like shit I need to finish the lawn. Thank you @@ProjectFarm for showing me how to start my mower with an impact haha
Thank you!!! No matter what I look for you, you always have a video on it. Even when searching extractors your video popped up. This has to be the best channel yet, completely untarnished by not accepting endorsements, one of a kind channel that is surely of the gold standard.
You are so welcome!
"The plastic case is already broken" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And that other set had the company logo sticker on crooked. Wtf?
I own that set.... It's sh*t.
I'm so glad to see such a critical, hard-working & honest channel be celebrated.
Thank you very much!
Could you do fiber fix repair wrap versus flex tape fiber fix repair wrap claims to be 100 times better than duck tape
@@ProjectFarm you need to redo the test on extractors. As a maintenance man I would never have a broken bolt that would have a load on it. And if it did have a load on it. Say like rust I would soak it in a penetrating oil first before extraction. I do think the drilling part is a good test for the drill bits for the extractors but most of the time the extractors will never meet there max torque rating like your test indicates. I would think a test for a the extractors could be done daily if you drilled a and taped holes in a pice of 3/4 inch steel and submerged it in water so it rust the stap the heads of said bolts off and see how well it extracts the bolts out then. No external forces contaminating the experiment just the rusty broken boldt in the steel vs the exstractor. I would love to see that vidio. This was a great vidio in its self for showing how the perform under a load and what torque used before failure.
VAILEAN stfu
I’m always impressed with Irwin when you test them. For the money, they really do a pretty good job and are good quality. I have a few things of theirs that I’ve collected over the years. I say collected because I still have them and they still work. Another great video 👍
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Irwin is a but of a undervalued brand. There stuff may not be the best, but in my experience, they get the job done at a decent price
bullshit i had two of them snap off now im f $$&
@mococaboy17 mine work great. No problems yet. Bummer for you man, but it's not BS. They work great.
this made me LLOL (first L is literally) Hope u got your projects done @mococaboy17 !
This test saved me alot of grief and I'm sure money. 4 screws were damaged on my rifle receiver, and could not be removed. I bought the Grabit Pro set, and made quick work of the screws. Saved me possibly taking it to a gunsmith or machinist. Thank you!
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
you can’t imagine how much I rely on your channel before I do a purchase, thank you for all of this
Thank you very much!
he switched me from lepage 5min epoxy to jb weld. lepage is good but jb weld is incredible.
I've used the short style irwin. Including the left handed drills is a plus but they haven't failed me yet
legit. my whole office does!
Amen 100% agreed. I basically look to make sure what to buy when look at anything I need these days because he’s completely unbiased and uses science for proof.
Me looking at products in store: *This one has UL seal of approval. I guess it should be good? Oh wait, this one over here has a PF seal of approval, I'm taking this one*
Awesome! Thank you for the positive comment!
Agreed! I've changed up alot of the stuff I buy based on his tests
I bought the Ryobi l but i guess best for value was Cleveland..? the bolt split destroying results
the PF seal of aproval must be a real thing
@@ProjectFarm okay here's your next project. It's actually two fold. You know what I might just make a video and then send you the link.
Bought a set of 2 grabit pro extractors, removed a stuck bolt, worked perfectly, they still look like new. Thank you for this test!
You are welcome!
A part 2 of this would be neat, where you test extractors for very small screws/bolts. Since those seems to be the most fragile and difficult to use.
Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm Is there part 2?
I like how you just decided one day you would give Underwriters Laboratory a run for its money. And then you followed through with it. Come up with a PF seal of approval.
Seriously a great idea...🤔
this is actually a fantastic idea, I would definately buy products with PF approvals on them over anything else
PF you. doesn't sound as good as you thought...
I like that idea! Im already buying goodies based on his testing👍
Loved the video and information... I have a broken off bolt on the exhaust side of my vehicle resulting in a huge exhaust leak... I found the UNBIASED, UNSPONSORED opinion on project farm... I've suscribed, and project farm is my ONLY source for true product comparisons. PROJECT FARM, DON'T LET CORPORATE AMERICA BUY YOU OUT!!!
"The screw appears to be made of a harder material than the extractor" 😂😂😂
Thanks for the feedback.
Often a big part of the problem. It'd be fine if the extractor cost as much as the screw.
It’s a Ryobi. What else could you expect?
@@notajp
I'd expect better as their power tools seem pretty good.
@ i only use ryobi power tools and I love them.
Been using the grabit pro pretty often on the job and wanted to see how it did in your tests. Your experience mirrors my own, surprisingly effective for such a compact kit.
Thanks for the feedback.
Perfect review. Straight to the point, great tests and just enough info. I really despise the reviewers that go on and on and on just to hear themselves talk. Great job Todd.
Thanks!
Nothing to recommend or say, just leaving a comment to help a great channel with the algorithm.
Thanks for that! Thanks for watching!
Your comparison videos are the best on TH-cam. Literally no room for bias, as equal and thorough as possible, and clearly a lot of effort put into your test videos, lots of info without excessive dialogue. Bravo, friend, quality stuff!
Appreciate that!
Yes sir!! I’ve bought many products after watching his reviews. They are second to none on the tube.
Can't have anything nice from china anymore
@@crazyaboutbarton7698 Slave labor has its SERIOUS drawbacks. SLAVERY is the BIGGEST drawback!
@@crazyaboutbarton7698 Most if the reviews he does show the big companies being made in China even though they say they are made in America
Awesome review thanks. I never believed in these screw extractors but today my friend used his at work and now I’m a believer. He has the Irwin set and it surprised me at how easy it worked. I’m def buying the Irwin kit.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
This also matches my experience, the Bosh blue is really good on bigger bolts but on smaller bolts it's hit or miss with most brands. Don't really use it with smaller screws or wood screws so I can't offer anything on that.
As always, really, really well done, you're the man.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback
Do a video on the best curse word to use after breaking an extractor in a bolt hole.
best one probably would be "son of a bitch!"
F*ckity, f*ck, f*ck.

I'm always amazed at the lengths/ingeniosity Todd goes to establish a baseline and a neutral way of measuring performance.
His methods and contraptions come off as as scientific as it gets.
I do miss the flame-spitting Farmabaggo though.
ingenuity
"straps blower fan to farmabego rv"
He shows, again and again that you can do proper science at home and get useful results.
His name is Todd?
ingeniosity - now that, my friend, is a $20 word! :)
Thank you so much for posting this. I literally just burned through the Ryobi set and was afraid I was doing something incorrectly.
You're very welcome!
I've had the $11. Irwin kit for a few years. Only the smallest extractor broke on me. This kit has saved me tons of $ and time. I will buy again.
Thanks for sharing.
One thing about these kinds of extractors, when they thread into a bolt, they can force the bolt to expand and make it a much tighter fit in the threads and make it harder to extract.
Yes, great point!
It's why the longer spiral ones work best, the helix is to steep to generate a lot of threading/expanding force. The secret to getting good performance from them is to get the hammered to depth right, that's the tricky part.
Yeah that's why left handed drill bits are the best solution
I use "LEGO-axle" style extractors because they do not expand the damaged bolt. Not sure what brand it is but they are straight pieces that have some sharp edges on them, and separate "nuts" that slide on the axle to wrench on. Also drills in the set. A poor man's version is to use torx bits! However, they usually split, and you have an even bigger problem.
I always hit the bolt first with PB blaster the day before, then cook it with a propane torch before extracting.
Rust and ancient bolts can be stubborn.
“Annnnnd the case already broke” 😂😂
lol.
That case sure looks pret... sure looked pretty.
Off to a good start eh?
Thanks for this video. I bought a set of the Irwin extractors today and was able to remove a broken bolt from the crankshaft of my lawn tractor.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic review, like always. I've never heard of the Cleveland brand extractors. I was happy seeing the tools performance even considering the premium price. I'm going to do a bit of research but if these are made in my backyard I'll be picking up a set soon.
Thanks for the feedback.
The amount of bolts I have broken, stripped or got rusted inside....and the amount I spent on extractors. This is a great video to highlight what I should buy next time.
Thank you!
After 55 years as a mechanic I've had my share of broken bolts, studs and screws and I found the the extractors that I purchased from Snap-On tools worked the best.
Buy some discretion and patience if you can find any for sale.

I just happen to search this one as I own the larger Irwin set and unfortunately use it more than I'd like! Including recently a turbo flange bolt on a brand new mp8 MACK- OOPS. Irwin did not succeed but I still love the set. My bigger reason stopping in is I'm currently visiting my 80 yr old father working on his 58 chevy resto and was using some amazon brand he had that was garbage but we also brought you up about 100 tines while working. I'm a heavy diesel mechanic and my father is an ivy league engineer ; we both LOVE your videos, format, general posture towards these "competitions " and well have nothing but best regards for you in the future.

Was shopping around for an extractor set and realized that I need to start at your channel first - Went through a pretty serious tool buying phase this year and bought tools only after watching your analysis - You’re an awesome content creator and test engineer - Keep it up brother!
Thanks, will do!
This has to be one of the most expensive TH-cam channels to watch. Every video it seems I have to go onto E-Bay and buy something...
lol Thanks for watching.
Your technique is a little different than mine. I usually throw something then assuming the fetal position and start crying until someone else fixes the problem. But hey I guess you could do it your way if you want.
Im crying of laughter. I was changing cabinet hinges a month ago, and this was literally me I threw something and got pissed off and sad. Then my uncle came over with the speed pro and got the screw out.
This resonates with me way too much! 😅
I died laughing
I allways weld a nut onto it, and use a regular wrench
Talk about detailed. These reviews are beyond professional. Thanks for taking the time to do such incredible work. We're partial to the Grabit Pro!
Thanks and you are welcome!
This is NOT a bolt extractor test. It's a screw extractor (aka EZ-out) test. Other than not what I'm looking for it's a good test. Nice honest, well informed unbiased job as usual for you. I need a bolt extractor to remove a hex head bolt with rounded corners.
From personal experience...
For small jobs like those in this video, Instead of standard left-twist extractors, I use a small diamond cutting wheel in a dremel to cut a slot, then use a straight, flat-blade screwdriver to twist the screw or bolt out.
It helps to have a LARGE old American-made screwdriver or a modern Teutonic tool. Cheap imported screwdrivers tend to break or twist too easily.
If this is for a machine application, (metal to metal) then I apply some WD40 or Seafoam penetrating product first.
Really stubborn bolts that have been work-hardened and rusted (as on old heavy machinery or large sea-going ships) require all those techniques plus HEAT from a blow torch, then a sudden freeze with compressed air. I used that last summer on an old tractor that had been sitting outside for decades. It worked.
These techniques usually work. And if none of that works, then it's time to drill, fill and re-tap.
LOVE this channel! Always great info and well presented too. I usually don't comment, but this one time I wanted to share these techniques which have helped me over the last fifty-five years, and helped my dad long before that.
Best wishes to all. Stay healthy. Resist tyranny.
Great tips!! Thank you very much!
I do the same especially resist tyranny
"[...] require all those techniques plus HEAT from a blow torch, then a sudden freeze with compressed air."
Damn you literally quench the bolt to remove it! Tho I can understand this, makes sense to want the head to be hard enough to not strip yet again, ever had a head snap completely doing that tho? Sounds possible... and annoying.
Yeah!
@@Kalvinjj In most cases you won't be able to or even want to heat it enough to actually harden or temper the metal. It's more about causing it to expand and contract to break the surfaces loose.
Here's a trick I figured out once when I was stuck with a stripped screw head: drill it a bit with whatever you've got, then tap in the point of a concrete nail or hardened cut nail. Even the point of a Tapcon screw might work. Keep tapping it in while applying torque to remove. The hardened steel will bite into the head of the fastener, and tapping keeps the edges embedded in the material so it doesn't strip it out. It takes a little finesse but it's worked for me on many occasions, enough that I don't replay my easy-outs anymore.
Makes sense, literally makes a matching screw and screwdriver in the process, if I get it correctly.
Thanks for the feedback.
Wow. Never thought of that. THANK YOU
🔵 I've used the cut-nail trick for many years now and it usually works better than most extractor-"Systems", I just cut the cut-nail to the size I want for whatever screw/bolt I'm trying to back-out and gently grind the end flat, (being careful not to change the temper of it during grinding).
Those cut-nails are made out of some damn tough stuff!!....
I made an adjustable sight ramp for my rifle out of one and over the years have used them for making quite a few other odd things, they're great for making shaft keys out of!..... I've always wondered what the 'specs' were on a cut-nail.
Many years ago , I used a Rothenberger kit , it was quite expensive but the best I have seen . Keep up the great reviews . Thanks .
Thanks, will do.
PF is basically my go-to for tool reviews and such. This video is just one of many that I have used to make informed decisions on purchases. Thanks for your work and I constantly recommend your channel to my friends and colleagues.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing the channel!
Agreed I wish I found this channel years ago and saved myself from buying comparatively rubbish tools. Though I can say that this channel has made my large collection of Milwaukee tools seem like solid choices. Thank you so much for this valuable content. Told aren't cheap and the time they can save or the frustration caused by breakage or or performance isn't worth it.... These unbiased reviews with solid test parameters are fantastic
But the real question is how well will the bolt extractors do in the cold flow oil race?
lol. Nice!!
"None of the extractors seem to realize the race has begun..."
@@ProjectFarm Honestly, you should do some kind of really silly joke video, where you test how good products perform at the wrong things. Like - how good are screw extractors at lubricating stuff, and do they fare better or worse when frozen and heated? Which tyre pump does the best job at removing screws and bolts, and which rust remover gives the best gas mileage improvement.
I try to live humbly & be responsible with where I place my money & time. This channel is the best; always adapting, improving & searching for the best value.
Thank you very much!
Perfect video. Super concise and straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for and failing to find.
Thanks!
Keep up the great work!
This is by far the best channel of its kind!
Thank you.
Thanks, will do!
The only bolt extractor I ever had luck with is my TIG. 100% success as far as I recall.
When the extractor breaks off in the bolt: "Oh look, it's time to start drinking" nah, weld a nut on with some really high amp mig, get it to spray arc. The intense heat is what is going to break that seized fastener loose.
Thanks for sharing.
Yep I've seen this many times the last 20 plus years.
I've snapped an extractor in a bolt in a freshly removed cylinder head, it scared me more than anything else in my life. The machine shop I went to did exactly what you said
I've done this myself many times. Works great in those hard to reach automotive applications.
Yep. Been there! .065 self shielding, 155 amps 21ipm or so. Just touch it. Lol.
Having extracted many screws when working on aircraft, I found that investing in a good quality cobalt drill bit set is key to getting the screw prepped for the extractor. Better to buy cobalt drill bits, and then you have a wider range of extractors. Great video. Thanks.

Weird how many of the American brands list measurements in metric, but the European brands list in US Imperial.
Raven The German brand has US-specific packaging; they do sell in Canada, but in the same packaging they use for UK/AUS/NZ. Most of the other brands have US/Canada/Mexico packaging.
Probably because they're also sold in Canada. While the German's label was made specifically for the American market
Rennsteig makes quit good Tools. So i was kinda suprised with the result. One of its flaws is how it removes bolts. If you have a soft Material it will just sheer it

A trick I have used before with success, is to dip the end of the extractor in valve lapping compound. The grit in the compound helps a lot.

I will have to give that a try.
I have used Bon Ami (scouring powder) for years to remove stubborn Phillips head screws from aircraft inspection plates. Pack the head of the screw with scouring powder and it gives your screwdriver a little extra grip.

when you tap the extractor in, use a low torque impact for a split second to get it to bite hard, then twist it, you'll have much better results
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ProjectFarm you're welcome, love your videos, been following your channel for a while. Thank you, whatever you make off youtube ads is well deserved :)
What does that mean exactly? Use a low torque impact driver? Lightly torque it in while impacting it with a hammer?
@@zeddpilsner4 that will also work.
I’m sending you a small thank you 💰
Thanks for your integrity and unending labor to scientifically test all the products fairly.
Thanks so much!
Love the content and valuable information cannot be beat best TH-cam channel in my opinion out there!!
Thanks so much!
Hello project farm, i just wanted to say thanks for your effort and time with your top notch videos. Straight to the point and no bs!!
Thanks so much!
I hope you know how much people appreciate your effort. You are one of the best channels on TH-cam man. Your ability to inform with an unbiased perspective is amazing! Thank you! From Lubbock, Texas!
Thank you so much 😀
I never knew you were supposed to tap these in... learning new things. Probably why they never work for me
Thanks for watching!
I purchased the Grabit Pro based on your testing, thanks for your hard work!
You are welcome!
Really like the speedout type for smaller stuff as it gets a decent grip in a shallow hole/divet, but honestly, when it comes to small but good extractors IMO they gotta be considered consumables because of how brittle the good ones tend to be. So keep extras. For really small philips and pozidrive, there's the rubber band.
For the bigger stuff, not getting the sheared bolt out can be so much trouble and costly, proper quality is always a worthy investment. Amd if there's a nubbin still sticking out, welding on a nut or another bolt, thermal treatment etc is also an alternative. If you deal with stuck bolts a lot, induction heater coils are gold. And have gotten fairly cheap to DIY.
You’re without a doubt one of the best TH-camrs with the most useful videos around, keep making amazing content
Thanks, will do!
Project Farm Jesus your still replying and reading comments from a 3 month old video, that’s dedication
Thank you for this video. I used the Irwin set to remove a broken bolt from the side of the head of my Honda 3.5 (Odyssey) VVT solenoid.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Spiral flute design are the only ones I could get rusted spark plug shells out of old plow trucks with. Just a tip make sure you spray the rusted part a few times a day for at least two days really makes all the difference. Thanks for the awesome video as always.
You are welcome!
I really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for your well thought out, concise testing. You are furnishing an invaluable resource. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
As a professional millwright with over 20 years experience I can assure you that the Irwin fluted style extractors are pretty much the go to standard. If you strip one, drill a little bigger and get a new bite.
Great feedback!
Thanks!
What an awesome job you do!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for this. I’m rebuilding my motorcycle after a crash last year. 2 broken bolts (frame and fork clamp) and an Allen key button bolt on the body. I don’t have all these upper end choices in my local, but I am happy that I didn’t buy the one “seen on tv”. Hope it all works ‘out’. Cheers
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are great man, I appreciate the effort you put into them.
I appreciate that!
What would the world be like without Project Farm Channel!!
Thank you very much for the positive comment! It keeps me going!!
the world would be full of lies
I have used both the speed out and the grabbit. I work in the dental industry (equipment repair and installation) and we sometimes need to remove machine screws that have been in place for over 20 years. That's 20 years of metal-metal contact plus cleaning agents seeping in and effectively cementing the screw into place. This test gave both items a good work out and have broken several bits of each, but also had a number of successes, about a 50/50 ratio. That is why I found great interest in this video. Thank you for doing it. This reminds, I broken Speed Out bits a month ago, think I'll try the Grabbit again.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
The Grabit Micro might be your best option for small things!
Did you get the Grabit micro and have the same success? @thesapper4654
I am so glad you did this! Been looking for a good extractor set!!
Thanks!
The spiral flute extractors do not get hammered in they seat on there own when you have a large enough hole
I never tap the screen extractor in with a hammer. Just insert, apply pressure, and allow the flutes to grab the screw. I think you may have damaged the flutes by hammering them in.
You may be right, but I believe PF is just following the instructions included with each set. After all, that's how most people would use them.
Thanks for the feedback.
Tapping is in the instructions. What's not in there is the degree of tapping required. I believe he hammered them a bit too much in my opinion.
quasibrain2319 i do the same, because I believe it keeps from flaring the bolt making it tighter in the hole, but to be fair he was just using it as the manufacturer recommended, pf is a pretty smart guy so im sure he has his own method for real jobs.
Me too, I never give more than a fairly gentle tap, usually not with a hammer, then apply pressure while extracting. Seems to work well. Larger fasteners might differ.
Thank you sir... just bought another tool based on project farm testing...👍
