“Excellent be sure to use it correctly 1) Use clear acrylic or place to help keep your tools right on center so bit wont wonder 2) go slow very slow 3) Set the drill in reverse first then in forward”

“This thing worked great. I did put a dowel on the inside where I put it in the chuck to guard against collapsing it. I also used a drill press. I had 6 broken screws to remove and it got them out quite well. It did burn as I might have had the RPM too high on the press but it still got it so I could extract those screws. I used glue and hardwood dowels to plug the holes and have been able to drill new holes. Without this tool I don't know what I would have done with this guitar body that had all 6 of the bridge screws break.”

“These things are the greatest invention since the napkin. A little tough to get started but once they bite you are off to the races. The only down side is they are more fragile than your great grannies bones on a freeze February night. They are pretending good for one ore two uses then snap, crackle, pop, they crumble.”

“works like a charm as long as you use a guide with the same size hole drilled in it over the workpiece. tape in place and do not remove until the extractor is out .”

“I had to break one before I learned how to use on. Always use a jig - drill a hole the same size as the extractor, in a piece of scrap. Clamp it with the hole over the broken screw, then with the extractor in your hand drill and in reverse (because of the teeth on the extractor) run the extractor into the hole in the jig until you are down far enough to make a circle around the broken screw. At this point you can remove the jig and complete your removal process. Using the jig to start ensures that your extractor doesn't skip all over the surface where the broken screw is!”

“It’s great when it works but sorry to say it broke on the 2nd use. Left part of the extractor in the wood along side the screw!”

“The instructions are limited- but you have to follow them! Donâ€™t assume that this is a hole saw. You have to use counter-clockwise direction. Also, I drilled a guide hole in a scrap and clamped over the broken screw. Go slowly. Expect broken teeth on extractor. Buy 2.”
