How to Use a Screw Extractor | The proper way. 

Been battling this small screw from a cell phone for a few days.. The Aluminum Foil tricked worked instantly...Great Video and thanks for the help

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

Thanks! had a bunch of these in my toolbox and had no idea what they were for.

Thank you so much for this video, you just saved my life!!!! Got the screw out!

Thanks for the help! I've gotta pull one out tomorrow...

This is such a good video, explains it to a T.

thanks for making this video. i got the rusted out torx screw i needed i extracted out. i didn't have the fancy t handle i used an adjustable wrench and went slow and it worked!

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 😂

Just wanted to know the basic fact to go counter-clockwise.

oah so easy with the right tool

wow.great

NOOICE! 😎

Thank you dudeeeee

good video

Thanks🇬🇧

my problem is that the screws of Makita impact drill got stripped.. they use soft long screws for the tool..

what do you do if you need to get the bottom half of a broke scren (so no head) out of the wood?

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. 👍

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

Thanks for this video! I was going to use my power drill to apply the screw extractor, so I am glad I learned from this video not to do that

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??

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

How many people who don’t know how to use a screw extractor own a caliper and a gear wrench? Know your audience, man.

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

Where do I find that drill T-handle fitting?

Why did u for during the extraction?

What is the name of the gear wrench (at 2.51mins)? May I know where I can purchase it? Thanks.

Where did you get that ratcheting t handle

Hell of an intro, lol.

Anyone have a suggestion for a video that's a little more delicate. I have a screw on a IC board that I do not want to damage or crack. Most videos appear to be for heavy duty material.

Where did you get the t handle ratchet

What kinda drill bit do I use. The ones I have won't drill into the screw. They kinda just spin.

So you drill counter-clockwise with the drill bit? And also counter clockwise for the screw extractor?

Great video. thanks....... Get a better penetrant.

But that screw snapped half was still in the metal so it didn’t work did it..

What is that horizontal tool called?

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.)

I gave up I'm going to a shop

Grrat video problem is I don't have that srew exstracter set!

I broke my bolt extractor trying to unscrew my stuck screw :'(

🇱🇧?

I will attempt to do this myself. It’s been draining for a few weeks now

Glock mos….

Is it me or did he skipped the part with the dill bit before using the extractor?

I've seen people use these types of screw extractors incorrectly and then blame the product. If you took your time and used your brain instead of being impatient and blaming the tool.

Sir we didn't come here for a class. Just simple instructions 😕🤦🏾‍♂️

FAIL! Did you notice that the screw he removed was broken off, not removed. Half of the screw is still in the hole! I can't believe anyone would publish this.

i’m just a girl 😢

Most obnoxious intro.
