Alden 8440P Pro Grabit Broken Bolt and Damaged Screw Extractor 4 Piece Kit - Made in The USA

Taking the roof rack off an FJ cruiser, bolts were seized a bit but with a little luck and elbow grease they were coming out...until they werent. T40 torx head screws and I ended up stripping two of them out. I tried some of many no name types you see on amazon that you hit in w/ a hammer and ratchet out, no luck. I then saw a Project Farm video where he reviewed extractors and called GrabIt Pro the best. My next option was probably an 8 hour day of pulling down the headlines, so figured why not. I got these in a couple days and after a little squirt of PB blaster and very little effort on the part of the GrabIt Pro, both screws were out and my butt was saved. I can't recommend these enough!

The very best in the world. Get it. Two minutes to remove a distributor cap screw off a slick magneto that some dipshi&& mechanic over torqued the crap out of.

I used the bit #2. It worked well on the first frozen screw, but on the second one the head of bit #2 broke off and the broken off piece is now stuck on top of the screw. Help!

Over the decades I've used a lot of different screw extractors (square & tall spiral) with mixed results, but my first use of these was instantly successful!

When no other method to remove a stripped screw this worked the second I tried it.Worth it.

I made the mistake of thinking that even if this did not work, it would not make the problem worse. Wrong.I needed to remove several 3/4" screws which were frozen in a cooktop. The philips slots were worn, but otherwise the heads and screws appeared undamaged. To make things as easy as possible for the screw remover I sprayed the screws with PB Blaster and let that work for 2 days. The burnishing end made appropriately sized holes. However, the remover end simply would not grab the edges of the hole the burnishing end made. And, yes, my drill was in reverse, at low speed. I applied pressure and angled the remover per the instructions, no luck.Until I got to the third screw. On it the removing end threaded into the screw head as it was supposed to do. The screw started to back out. One revolution. Looking good. Second revolution. Making progress. But then, words that may not be reprinted in this review. The tip of the removing end broke off, firmly embedded in the screw head, just as is reported by so many other reviewers who have given it 1 star.Because the remover is "Tempered twice for extra hardness" it is brittle and prone to breaking, and when it breaks it is a bear to grind out. If you choose to ignore this warning and buy this product, be sure you have your dremel at hand with a good supply of grinding stones.I believe this is the first 1 star review I have given, but 1 star is generous. I figure that 1 star is appropriate for a product of no value, but since this made my problem worse when it broke off, I would like to give it a negative rating.I know that many people have had success using this product. I congratulate them on their luck. But too many people report the same problem of the removing tip breaking off. Since it broke for me while the screw was turning I must conclude that I was not overstressing it, and there must have been a defect in the metal or manufacturing process. Once I cleaned up the mess left by the broken tip, and removed the head of the screw, I was able to grab the screw shaft with a vise grip, and the screw came out easily.Do yourself a favor and do not take a chance with this product.

Works great! Just follow the directions. I broke one on second use but it was my fault and the company replaced it.

The first one I used snapped in half as soon as I tried to use it. These might be good for extracting screwed from wood, or soft materials, but don't try them for the like a set screw for a rotor. These will not hold up to that kind of pressure.
