I have used the two smallest of the three bits that come in this set. It worked exactly as it said it would in extracting some badly stripped screws. My only complaint is that even the smallest bit is fairly large, so anything smaller than a standard drywall screw may not be a candidate for the GRABIT. The largest bit is huge and seems designed for giant lag bolts or something.

I gave this to my husband as part of his birthday gifts and he uses it so much more than anything else I have given him as far as tools! He looks for stripped screws just so he can use this handy item!

I live by myself and not very handy at all!!! I just got some ikea furnitures and the screw that came with the furniture are very poor quality and they striped very easily when pressure was applied... and this stubborn screwn didn't want to go in all the way and preventing my drawer going in properly....
I am so glad to have found this kit! so easy to use... I got that stubborn screw out within 5 minute! (would've quicker if I chose the right size bit in the 1st place)

I am hopeless when it comes to home repair... if I can do it, everyone can!

Had to get a stripped screw out of my shower drain.
Worked like a charm.
Not intuitive, but once you figure it out, it's great stuff.

Thanks!

I have used so-called easy-outs for many years. They aren't!
With these you don't have to search for the right drill bit to fit the tool. Just mount the tool with the reaming end out and cut the recess. In no time you have the right concave surface to receive the extractor. Reverse the bit (Grabit tool) and run the drill motor in reverse to back the screw out.
I don't need these often, but when I do, they are just the ticket!

This item works pretty good.It's a little trying sometimes,but worth purchasing!!The price was right,and it does the job.Thanks!!

After reading all the reviews and having seen it in tv, it does a great job.Been losing head screws for quiet a lot of job now and thanks for this small wonder i already replaced all of them. So far havent got any bad previews on this 1.

The Grab It Screw Extractors that I bought were exactly like on tv, but the delivery of them was excellent!! I did not have to wait for weeks to get them.

I thought this might be a useful tool, but our contractor tried to use it to remove from screws from our walls, and pronounced it UNFIT for use, except in the "gentlest" of cases.
His opinion (he's a remodeler) is good enough for me.
Anyone want an extra set?

This is a candy mans tool. I work on aircraft and this is soooooo not fit for my kind of hardcore work. Don't buy this if you are expecting some kind of mack daddy screw remover.
