“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.”

“I bought this to remove a broken screw and when I used it the tool broke and most of the screw remained.”

“I've used the 1/4'' a few times before I had to replace it. You really have to go SLOW and make a template guide for it. I finally broke my first one after about 5 or 6 uses of it. It is very fragile and finicky. Probably best suited for small jobs and folks with a lot of patience. If they could make this stronger, it would be much better.”

“It did most of what it was supposed to do. I got most of the area "cored" out, then tried to go a little deeper. Don't do that. The tool shattered at that point. Fortunately I was able to get the screw out and plug the hole (will never see it in the pickup cavity of a guitar), but turned into a single use tool.”
