Best extractor set I've ever bought. Bought this to have one kit, extractors with Left Hand bits. If you've never used left hand bits for broken screws you'll love learning to use these. If your broken screw is sheared off. Drill a small hole first. Then step up two sizes, as this second bit grips in the first hole it grabs and unthreads screw. Sometimes if your screw is loose enough in the hole it will back out with the first bit. If neither bit does it you'll have your hole drilled for extractor. The hex head extractors work well with a wrench and give you something to tap on while turning screw out as extractors loosing their grip on the hole only cause you to have to step up another size which doesn't work out well if screw diameter would allow bigger hole. Don't expect this to work if screws are seized or rusted badly. Use lots of penetrate and or heat first.

bought this kit for a specific purpose, and the unit broke with minimal torque in my opinion. I have over 30 years experience as a mechanic, and I am usually considered the "go-to guy" for broken bolds. If you drop one on the concrete, it does not have that "super hardened" ping sound: sounds more like a grade 5 bolt at best.

Irwin does it again. Saved my butt and my wallet. I had a 6x35mm bolt snap off inside the crankcase of a 1992 Honda Shadow VLX 600. The bolt that holds the crankcase cover on had snapped inside the crankcase itself and it wasn't a clean break. But the bolt was no match for the Irwin drill bit. The bits are sure sharp and within about an hour the bolt spun out along with the bit. Definitely worth the money

This kit doesn't come with instructions and I have only used this kit once so far so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.<br />Here are instructions below from my internet researching on the subject:<br /><br />Got broken ford van broken exhaust manifold bolt out with this kit.<br />The bolt broke flush with the engine block so I couldn't grab it with vice grips and it wasn't loose where I could spin it out with a pick....<br /><br />Used smallest drill bit to drill through slowly about 30 min time, then when drilling with next size bit, the broken bolt came out.<br />These cobalt bits are good, my titanium bits wouldn't touch the hard bolt metal, but these slowly and constantly drilled creating flakes and spirals of cuttings as they worked.<br />Drilled about 90 rpm-just over 1 revolution a second, don't go fast or you risk dulling the tip and also breaking the bit.<br />Oiled bit tip often.<br />Apply just enough adequate pressure to cut-create consistent cuttings.<br />Take breaks as arms tire out.<br />I had to use a cheap harbor freight 90 degrees driver attached to my drill to give the proper space and angle to drill for the limited working space.<br />Luckily the bolt that broke was accessible enough without lifting the vehicle body or engine.<br />Before I drilled, I did heat the broken bolt with a propane torch (protect any flammable or wires if needed) and let cool to help loosen and sprayed for a week with penetrating oil.<br />You must center punch as precise as possible in case you need to drill the bolt as big as possible before inserting an extractor. Don't jump bit sizes, work with each size progressing up.<br /><br />If this method will or does not work for you, the Internet says you'll have to find someone to mig weld on a washer and nut, using the special mig rod mg600 can even get out deeply broken bolts.<br />When removing any frozen bolts/nuts Always heat to a dull red glow with a propane torch(a good 6 min) or use an even hotter oxy acetanin torch, to help expansion unseize-break rust-loctite etc, let cool, then hammer to shock threads, apply penetrating oil-up to a week if you have the time, then unbolt or break if still frozen(if it breaks, use this kit or weld).

Bought for mechanical engineering business where I work. Never had any complaints with Irwin tools in my years of work. Would recommend and buy again if it is Irwin or similar high quality brands.

Seems like a very well made set with a fairly sturdy box to keep it organized. The first one sent to me was missing a bit size, but a replacement was at my door 2 days later.

Excellent quality tools - does what it's supposed to do and does it well. If your project matters, don't settle for crappy tools.

The screw extractor set worked amazing. The set even comes with directions printed on the cover. Irwin is a great tool company. I should have bought this sooner instead of wasting time with a cheap extractor set. The cheap set broke but this set just got out 7 out of 7 stuck screws. (I have one more stuck screw is still stuck due to the cheap set breaking in the screw) Don't waste your money on cheap tools people. This set works!

another fine quality screw extractor by IRWIN I have many of their specialty tools in my box that I use on a regular bases, being in maintenance you can always depend on them without breaking down.
