Upon stripping a scew on some new door hardware, I thought I would have to call a locksmith to remove the damaged head and re-align the lock. I went out and purchased this for 20 dollars from a local hardware store, and successfully removed the screw and the lock after only 2 minutes or so. This bit actually makes new, clean threads in the head of the damaged screw, and then locks into the new threads, thus pulling it out.

a fantastic investement on my behalf. Great price too. Everyone should have a set!

I saw this demonstrated on "Ron Haselton's House Calls " on PBS
& decided then & there that it was definitely a tool I needed.
Have only used it once but it definitely confirmed my expectations,
that is an answer for removing screws. Thank you

I've used this on dozens of deck screws and on several nasty, rusted old screws on my boat trailer, and now I'd never be without it. So far it's removed everything I've tried it with.

I've seen several negative reviews here, and I can't help but wonder if they were running the drill the wrong direction. Either that, or they were using it on a screw or bolt that was rusted into a metal object to an extraordinary degree. I can imagine a screw rusted into some metal device that just isn't going to come out with this or anything else, no matter what. I've been fiddling with tools for 50 years, and I think this is the best damaged-screw removal tool possible -- not a magic bullet that'll do 100% of your problems, but probably 99%.

It more than pays for itself the first time you use it.

This is one of those tools you wish you never have to use but you will need it someday. Better than an easy-out because the drill and tap are on the same tool. A big time saver for things like deck screws that strip out before they go in all the way.

I bought this to remove some stripped screws. It removed two out of four, and loosened one enough to grab it with Vise grips. No go on the fourth.

I worry about using this regularly, as this magnetic bit holds the ground out remnants of the screws. Unless you clean it, when it is reversed it could leave these bits of metal inside your drill's chuck.

I'd return it, but won't because I used it.

wanted it to work, needed it to work, did a little.... but mostly frustrating!!!!Drillout - Screw Remover Kit 2 Piece #6 #14

Perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for and needed.

I bought these for all of the guys on my Christmas list. My husband, who was helping me wrap was really REALLY tempted to 'test out' one of the sets. (He got one too, but he didn't know it at the time).

The only disappointment is that I was expecting to recieve the bits in the re-usable black storage box that they are pictured in. They came packaged in those disposable clear plastic 'clamshell' style boxes...you know the kind: they're melted together all around the edges, and you have to get some industrial tool to cut into them. So, once the bits are removed from the packaging, you have to somehow keep up with them without a storage box.

Did absolutley nothing except smooth out the top of the screw. I tried for over 2 hours to get a rusted screw out with no luck.
