Screw Extractor

[Drummer17Dude1]

so many times this was needed.. Yet I don't have one

[fuzzyrhino5]

will it work with alen screws? i have TONS of stripped alen screws.

[AsktheBuilder]

@fuzzyrhino5 Yes it will.

[fuzzyrhino5]

@AsktheBuilder wait any size?

[WildeTanteAnna]

The original idee was developed from a dutch aircraftmechanic. He made screwdriverbits with a angel counter clockwise on it. (The get the screws out of a sealed frontwindow of the Fokker F-27.) Gebrauchsmusternr: 296 16 972.2 from 13.02.1997.

[UKwildcatfan1985]

will this work with a t20 screw?



[AF1R]

I have a stripped screw in my laptop. How do i get this out?

[cooldog60]

How about if the threads are stripped?

[cooldog60]

How about when the threads are stripped and the screw is recessed.

[cherryberry360]

"I've got you!" So adorable.

[Pugslee3]

Is this guy trying to be the new Billy Mays?

[AsktheBuilder]

@Pugslee3 Nope. I was doing this before Billy got famous. He copied me. :->

[millgiass]

Too bad they dont have one small enough for a PSP's tiny ass screws.

[agha404]

can i use the screw extractors without the need of a drill machine? I have this one particular problem and i don't want to waste money on a electronic drill. Meaning can i use the power of my hands on removing the screws with the extractor?! please reply as soon as possible. i really need the help!!!!

[DTxOctavariumx]

What about hex screws that got rounded?

[brianvelasquez]

Does this really work or is this just a ad trying to hustle us?

[AsktheBuilder]

@brianvelasquez It absolutely works. Talk to any repair person. Go buy a set. If you don't like them, get your money back.

[MrTechdeckstar]

thats a good tool

[randomvideomaker321]

thats what she said :) 0:35 to 0:37

[eversoundmyname]

and in a celular phone when the scews are veri small what can i do

[ulykrane]

does these work on autos? and does it work when the screen is flush??

[rub504]

do these extractors work on hex screws?

[DARKSCOPE001]

yes sir. and if a screw extractor wont do the job get a bolt extractor set and it will pull it out best luck

[repipi34]

does this work on small screws? my stubborn screw is on my PC hard drive and can't get out!!!! help

[usaearthling]

I used one of these bits, and now I can't get the screw off the bit. What should I do? It is really embeded in there. Should I try hitting it with a hammer?

[69gblank]

Try holding the screw in a vise and turn the drill on turning to the right or oposite from the way the extractor bit works. It should release it's hold on the screw.

[DARKSCOPE001]

no dont induce any vibration into your hard drive. you could damage delicate internal parts. this set should work and craftsman offers verry small screw extractor sets for a small ammount of cash. just get your drill out and take the hd down to sears and show and ask them what tools you need. they should set you up good luck

[6Ed6]

is there a way to extract tiny Philips screws?

like the one the Nintendo DS lite uses???

[redgibson1]

omfg, i have that exact same problem!!! the screws on the back of there are so fucking tight!!!! but i think this should work...if the bits are small enough that is..

[TheYoungOdie]

u mean a tri wing?

[darkeyce02]

wat if the tip of the screw was sheered off by a chain? wat am i supposed to do then

[AsktheBuilder]

You may have to drill it out. That's very hard to do.

[1moeser]

use a stud extractor

[Krais3r]

What would you suggest for a torx head that was stripped because it was in very tightly, and its expected to be very tight for safety? I have one that is stripped and its a T47 Torx bolt.

[golfboy95productions]

i need to know the answer to this question too HELP!!

[zaulkin]

Tim, what is the brand of the exact reverse drill bit used in this video? I'm trying to find a place online where I can buy some but none of them look like these ones. I really need to know the exact brand used here.

[AsktheBuilder]

Deeper in past comments I say. Make sure next time you read all comments. Sears

[sergioolano]

I meant....spark plugs !!!!!!

[sergioolano]

the ceramic top came off when trying to change my sprak plus, the hole where the ceramic used to be is 3/8", any idea?

thx

P.S: from BC Canada also

[mat449]

come to canada we got robinsons screw driver's :)

[AsktheBuilder]

Eh, each time I come to Canada the border agents are so gruff and mean I wonder why I try to visit. Seriously.

[cshcrazy]

what if a i have a small screw

[WalkinfGish]

im trying to open my xbox 360 but i stripped my screws they are verry small will it work? and how much does this cost?

[misskissme08]

same here, total ruined my black screws on the xbox....blinking annoying.

[spiritro06]

@WalkinfGish

if you have a dremel, just cut a straight line through the middle of the screw and use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew them, thats what I did for the black ones on the bottom

[hitachi088]

@WalkinfGish no. about 15-20$ for 3-5 i think.

[WildeTanteAnna]

@WalkinfGish Take a normal S2 Bit an scharpen counterclockwise the edges. Remove a bit of the piont of these bit,so that it can go deeper into the screw. Then put this bit back into the bitholder and put this bit into the damaged screw.

Turn it slowly counter clockwise. (It works better as this thing.) I´ve worked with this bit and it is great.

[TheLightningStalker]

That is absolutely true, except they're not very affordable. 3 of those cost more than a 15 piece drill bit set. And I need one that will extract a #0 Philips from a recessed hole. Guess I'll have to make my own

[Kevo55256]

Hi!

I was wondering, what the actual name of the set is called from sears?

I have a LCD TV and my stand can't come out because of my stripped screw.

Any ideas for me?

Thanks!

[AsktheBuilder]

Just search their site or visit a store that carries all of their hand tools.

[blackcat2enterprises]

I didn't have a reverse drill bit but I partially used your idea to get out a stripped screw just a bit ago. =)

[AsktheBuilder]

Congratulations! Victory!

[dmwesq1442]

Is there a need to drill a pilot hole first? Most of the screw extractors I see online have that step, but your video went right to using the extractor. Where is the extractor you used available from?

[AsktheBuilder]

If the screw is a Phillips, the answer is no. Flatheads possibly. That was the unique design feature - no need to drill a hole in most cases. I got mine from Sears.

[sprbld417]

would you recommend using this bit to dish out stripped screws in a vintage '69 les paul deluxe guitar?

[AsktheBuilder]

With extreme care, patience and diligence.

[chez089]

what about hex screws?

[AsktheBuilder]

Get those out with a pipe wrench.

[chez089]

i mean the hex screws that normally use an allen keys/driver

[AsktheBuilder]

Yes, the extractor will work fine.

[applepierockzmisox]

what about torx 10 and 15 screws?

[AsktheBuilder]

They shouldn't be a problem.

[bendmywhammy]

I have a broken bolt in my car that got stuck inside. I drilled a hole in it and tried to drill the whole bolt out but it just made the hole larger. Can this extractor help me? its a hardened bolt for car suspension

[AsktheBuilder]

I think so. Go to Sears with a photo of the situation.

[RevoPwns]

is there one for a stripped alan key socket

[AsktheBuilder]

This same tool works for that.

[dowismax]

i need to get a screw out of a ps3 and it is very small is there a design for small screws

[AsktheBuilder]

Yes. You need a small extractor or you just drill it out.

[02bash]

i use rc model cars and its uses a hex shape head so is there any designed for that

[AsktheBuilder]

Yes. There is a special socket that has backwards gripping teeth. Removes rounded bolts.

[YoungerPrice]

aww foooooeeeeeeeyyyy LOL

[antiwoz]

Can't do that with a Sony PSP can i?

[ditroiamusic]

Thank you for this. Perfect!

[neonn2]

I recently stripped an extremely tiny screw in an electronic device an i dont think that will help. Any Suggestions?

[AsktheBuilder]

You have to drill it out and retap the hole possibly.

[sohndi]

where can I get that tool set?

[AsktheBuilder]

I got mine from Sears. I would imagine you could do a search on the Internet and find *many*. I saw ads for them on my own page at my website where I have the video.

[LLCoolPass]

mechanics have been using this stuff forever

[xxxgrimREAPERx]

Wow. I need to get me one of those!

[vhm14u2c]

Yet another cool tool I did not know existed. Thanks Tim.
