Alden 4507P Grabit Micro Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece Kit - Small Bolt and Screw Remover - Ideal for PC and Mac Repair - Made in The USA

I stripped the head of a 6.x32 Allen/hex screw on a pistol sight and had no way of removing it. To make matters worse, the screw was put in with blue Loctite. I bought this product as a last resort before admitting defeat and taking the slide to the gunsmith. I really didn't think it was going to work.Long story short? It was effortless. I've used easy outs but it's been years so I watched the video on their website as a refresher and let her rip. It took 2 minutes and that sucker was out. I used a small 12V drill so I didn't overpower it. Drill...remove...done.

I used the smallest extractor in this set to remove a broken bolt from a marine engine seawater-intake-pump-impeller cover. It took a while to do it carefully without damaging the threads on the pump body, but after about 30 minutes I got it out. I am sure with practice on how deep to drill the hole in the beginning it would be much easier (though let's face it, one hopes they don't get too much practice with this tool.) Totally worth the money because I was planning to buy a replacement pump for about 15x the cost.

These saved me hundreds of dollars. I made a mistake, and red loctited some very small set screws into a *very* expensive piece of equipment. When I went to change the component, the T10 head completely stripped, yes, I applied the proper amount of heat to loosen the loctite. These were easy to use, and after drilling, heated up the parts, very carefully and slowly reversed the bits into the drill holes, and the screws came out. Not sure how much more of a positive review I can write for them. Well worth it. Especially the smallest bit, which perfectly suited the small set screws I was removing. The bit was very sharp, and took good cuts with minimal down pressure.

Updated again - I never received the promised replacement bit. So have to go with my original assessment. The bit broke while attempting to extract a very soft screw. I can't recommend the product. While I was initially impressed with their quick reply and willingness to replace the broken bit, that was a month ago and the replacement has not arrived.Updated Review: The seller replied very quickly and is sending a replacement for the broken bit. Based on that and success using the other bits on a different screw, I'm upgrading to 4 stars for the quick customer service and the fact the bit worked on another screw without issue.Tried to use it to remove a pickguard screw on a guitar. These are not hard metal, not stainless, they strip very easily. In this case though, the cutting end of the smallest bit broke very quickly and without actually accomplishing the task. I understand that stuff like that happens, so may adjust this pending the sellers response. Also - the tip shearing off like that result in the guitar being damaged - fortunately, the damaged area is under the pickguard as it skipped off to the side of the screw in that direction instead of out into the visible part of the guitar, otherwise I'd be even more furious.

I'd been fighting a pair of stripped 5/64 Allen head screws for a week. One I was able to get out switching to a torx head (and a LOT of pressure). The same wasn't true of the second screw. After getting the first out, it was clear I was fighting against loctite as well. I finally gave in and ordered this kit, even though I thought it was a little pricey. First attempt, and the second screw came out with what appeared to be ZERO EFFORT. It took me longer to open the packaging, than it took me to get the stripped screw out. When that screw finally came out, I cared less about how much I paid, and just added another tool to the toolbox.

I had a mobile vacuum cleaner that I had to replace a part but one of its screws was stripped. I had tried several suggestions I found online with no success then found these and tried it.The #1 micro head didn't do anything. the cutting head seemed to be taking metal out but the extractor end just spun. I then tried the #2 head which seemed large but I had nothing to lose. The cutting head definitely this time was removing more metal and when I used the extractor head, the screw just spun out. I'm wondering if the originally stripped head just prevented the cutting head from getting down far enough to prep the surface for the extractor? Moot point since the next size up worked perfectly.This is a great product for small screws. The cutting/extracting end of the #1 micro is no more than 1/16th of an inch (eye balling it using a tape measure) and is for #5 and #6 bolts.

I was skeptical based on some of the reviews but like any tool, you have to know how to use it and sometimes how to prep for the work. I had to extract a roughly 5/64 screw that broke in a very expensive electronic device. I chose to use a 1/16 bit to start digging into the screw. Then I used the extractor side to carefully work out the stuck bolt. Patience and precision are key. It’s not a high speed tool. Take your time and they work perfect.
