IRWIN Screw Extractor, Spiral Flute, 6-Piece (53545)

This worked out really well. Good value compared to other sets that don't seem nearly as durable. My only issue with this buy is that it took 4 days to get to me, instead of the 2 as promised--but thats no reflection on this Irwin Screw Extractor kit. Overall. Excellent set with intended result. See attached photo

My favorite brand of extractors. They work great, but remember that they take a specific technique (tap a divot with a punch, drill out appropriate hole, tap extractor in with hammer, THEN extract. And remember also extractors are consumables, they WILL break eventually regardless of brand, even if properly handled. IMO Irwin makes the best and longest lasting.

Despite the apparent quality, the screw extractor proved impractical for removing the faucet screw. I assessed the required drilling depth as too deep, posing an unacceptable risk of damage. Therefore, I chose to modify the screw head for a flathead screwdriver instead.

Ok first I'm not a man of religion AT ALL. But I am convinced there has to be an omnipotent force because I simply REFUSE to believe "mankind" is the pinnacle of intelligence. On to my point... I bought a 2015 Freightliner Columbia (my first truck) that was a former FedEx Ground contractor fleet truck. Poorly maintained and neglected 🤦🏾‍♂️! So I have the pleasure of catching up on the maintenance and repairs. Well the water pump on the Series 60 12.7 was shot so I had to replace it. Replaced it but 6 months down the road it was leaking oil from the bottom where the pump mates to the back of the front cover case. Went to re torque the bolts and noticed the bottom bolt closest to the block was missing somehow. Bought a bolt from the Freightliner dealer to put in the whole only to have my heart drop because it wouldn't seat nor thread in 😱😱! It was at this moment I cursed every carbon based organism and every derivative from the periodic table 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬! Drained the system, took the pump off only to notice the gasket failed and caused the oil leak. Ok! So took my phone and videoed the hole to see the bolt. YEP.. it's broke in the casing. So I ordered a long, slim center punch, reverse drills and the Irwin bolt extractor. Center helped but drilling into a broken screw blind is difficult. After 2 hours of drilling, sweating and potty mouthing I finally drilled a hole in the broken bolt. Put the Irwin extractor in the bolt hole blindly and tapped it twice semi hard. Closed my eyes and said "God.. I don't bother you for nothing. But today I need your help here so I can feed all these damn kids I have 🤣🤣!". So I put a cresent wrench on the extractor and turned slowly and it started twisting out 😮! I smiled, kinda chuckled and said "Thank you" Am I still a depressed, angry, overweight, business owning GENXer that struggles with insomnia, high blood pressure and not procreating? AB-SO-LUTELY👍🏽! BUT.. GOD and I are now familiar strangers 🤗🤗!

Yes Great I had to use the smallest extractor for my rifle Worked perfectly yes would recommend

I’m sure others have had success using these to extract screws but I have not. It could be operator error but they simply did not work for me.

Can’t say how thankful I am for this set. It paid for itself the first time I used it. I had two brass fittings that broke off in my air compressor manifold during transport, when it fell over. I was looking at having to buy a whole new manifold and disassemble the motor and top to remove the old manifold. With this set of extractors, I was able to remove both pcs. I had already drilled on them and tried to use a flat head screwdriver previously. So, they were chewed up a little. Still, that didn’t stop these from working. I first tapped the bit into the hole securely. Then I used a 12pt socket on a 1/2” wrench and slowly turned it until I was able to back the broken pc right out. This is the best purchase I’ve made on Amazon in a long time. It saved me a whole lot of money and time.

Purchased from Hardware & Garden supplies, so I am not sure if this is just how Irwin sells this extractor set now, or if this particular set is packaged uniquely bad now. But mine came in a plastic package that once you open, it will not hold the bits inside any more. Which means you have six random extractor bits floating around your toolbox or tool drawer. Half of which are useless, as this set is not for small screws. What happened to the blue bit holder that is pictured in top of the listing? This has become unacceptable in my opinion that so many sellers on Amazon think they can get away with selling an inferior version of a product, under a listing with completely different pictures. Six extractor bits did show up, however the blue holder is a part of what is for sale here. If you are selling the version with the plastic packaging, then make a different listing with the new plastic packaging clearly shown in the product pictures. This current listing is what is known as fraud. As stated above, this set of extractors just doesn’t work on small screws. This is for larger bolts, but not for high torque bolts. You are looking for the short extractors with the twisting pattern for smaller screws. Do not buy Bosch, Gearwrench, or the Craftsman version. They are all worse than the Irwin set. The Lisle version may work better if you are breaking this Irwin set inside of screws. All extractors are pretty much single use items however. Sometimes you can get a few uses out of one of the extractor bits, but I would not count on it. There is a learning curve to correctly extracting screws and bolts. Do not just start drilling into a stuck screw or bolt just because you watched a YouTube video.

Ottimo, ero scettico pensando di essere spacciato con un bullone spezzato nella puleggia e invece fantastici… bullone estratto

Não comprem, quebrou no primeiro uso e me deu um prejuízo de 450 reais porque a ponta quebrada do extrator ficou dentro da peça, tendo que jogar fora tudo.

Absolutely perfect, I had a stripped Allen bolt in my road bike crank, and i needed to replace my crank,so i was trying few methods and none of them worked till i got these extractors from IRWIN. they are actually great but you have to be patient and follow the instructions of drill size etc.

Life saver. Just make sure to drill a deep enough hole first, then use a hammer to hit the extractor in, so it’s stuck. Then it will grip and remove with a left turn of the drill.

Love the product thank you
