How to Remove Stripped Screws with a Screw Extractor | Rockler Skill Builder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Removing screws that have a stripped head can be frustrating. There are lots of reasons a screw head can strip, but one of the easiest ways to remove a screw that has a stripped head is to use a screw extractor bit. An extractor bit features two ends. One end looks a little like a short twist drill bit, and it is called the burnisher. The burnisher cuts away some of the stripped original driver profile, leaving a clean surface. The other end is the extractor, which features sharpened threads that are cut in the opposite direction of ordinary screw threads. The extractor end bites into the screw head and turns it when the drill is run in the reverse direction.

Absolutely outstanding! Could not imagine a better how-to video. Great presentation skills. Thank you!
All how-to videos should follow this format. Informative and quick.
What, you don't like scrolling through a 15 minute long video that shows a whole minute of subject matter and 14 minutes of bullshit?
@@chechnya This comment just won the youtube awards
You don't run a channel so you don't understand the intricacies.
Could have been faster. But i appreciate it.
No way. 4 minutes is not quick for something that takes less than 2 minutes to really show. the format should be the quick and dirty, and then the detailed explanation. No having to look more than halfway through for the real instructions.
Thanks, Chris. Appreciated the emphasis on keeping the drill in reverse for both steps. Would've assumed the usual clockwise motion for the first step.
All steps done in reverse just in case the bits tighten the screw further.
Great video. Simple, Quick , and to the point. NO opinions, no tangents, no nothing but the knowledge, awesome
Beautiful, short, and extremely clear lesson. Thank you!!
Though it is on a much smaller scale, I ran into stripped screws fixing my laptop, and I bought a screw extractor set after trying every else.... I couldn't figure out how to use it until I watched this video - the direction to only use reverse was what saved me! Thank you!
Best PROPER instructional video in youtube. Nice talking points, good pace, and easy to follow. a REAL professional host! Subscribed immediately
😊
Thank you! The extractor kit did not come with instructions as good as this.

If the screw extractor doesn't work on a screw that's exposed and not broken off or flush, rather than go the oft-repeated route of taking a Dremel and cutting a slot for a standard flat screwdriver (that still may strip), here's a less frustrating and more fool-proof method:
Take a grinder (full-size or a grinding bit on a Dremel, or a file if you don't have one) and flatten two sides of the screw head on opposite sides. Then grab it with vice grips and unscrew it. The flats will let you get a better grip without it slipping like it would with a round head. You'll get a lot more leverage on a stuck screw with vice grips than you would with a screwdriver and it's a lot less likely to strip again than a slot for a standard screwdriver might.
Wow. that actually sounds easier than going out to by extractors and drills lol. i just need one screw out lol. i don’t build things
Great presentation
I cannot get it to work
Did not predrilled holes
Screw very tight
Should have predrilled
Any other ideas?
This worked well for me with the Dremel and vice grips! I am not at all handy, so I appreciate your tip using things that I had on hand.
1:27 Man, that is one tidy workshop!! Wish mine looked like that.
10/10 For detailed & clear explanation of how this thing works.
It worked! I had a stripped two inch screw. I watched the video, went to Rockler and purchased their extractor product, then came home and removed the problem in just a couple of minutes!
That guy is a fantastic teacher, very well explained, very clear
So helpful. Your demonstration has given me confidence to give it a try.
Had no idea screw extractors existed until I found about them in a Google search and then came to this video. What a great invention!
Time to get myself a set of screw extractor bits. Thanks for this!
Excellent video, brief, succinct and straight-to-the-point!
🙌
Thanks man this was don great simple and to the point unlike others . This had 90's vibes all over it took me back to" this old house ".
Excellent video! Lots of good information, no filler.
Excellent, I have a roof patio littered with these screws that I have to remove. This is life saver advice. I will try to find your product on Amazon. Thank you!
Great video host! Easy to follow and precise instructions!
This was a great video! Thanks Chris for a proper instructional video.
🙌💙
very helpful video, short, to the point and simple. Thanks for helping me solve my stripped screw problem
Great video Chris
Did exactly that this past weekend, and picked a set of extractor bits today, for only $15
Thanks for the informative video
Who is this absolute legend and why does this have so few views??? Excellent tutorial with tips!
Seriously this guy is amazing. Great teacher too who gives you enough so you're learning but not wasting time
Jeez this is the best video for this I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
Perfect how-to video, you are one skilled presenter Chris!
Great video, very clear. I just bought a set of 5 goldtoned Easy OUt screw extractors. The instruction is visual image and vague. I will now go to my oven, praying that my Easy Out removes two very old screws which secure my baker oven element to the back wall. Metal screw, metal plate, and metal oven wall which I do not want to damage threads. Will come back and tell you how it went. (hopefully easy)
Never heard from again....
I have 2 weeks to live. Please give your update soon.
Professional, not boring and informational!
Good video and sounds simple. I tried to extract a screw with a kit that was not from Rockler, but the extractor end got stuck. When I applied more force, it broke off and I was left with a mess. I would recommend you to use screw extractors only if you know what you are doing, otherwise ask someone who does.
fantastic video. loved it. honeslty i almost never comment. but you deserved it! got 2 kits today.
Great video - you are an excellent presenter.
Thanks for watching!
Simply, THANK YOU!
🙌
Short and to the point. Perfect video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video Chris.
💙
Every single reason he mentioned Ive encountered. It actually made me feel good that it happens to pros too lol
Best one. Not confusing. Thanks man. God bless you
This video was fantastic! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I just got an extractor set and have no clue how to use it. It did not come with instructions and I desperately need them.
watching that screw become stripped gave me so much anxiety lol
Me too!
Take long deep breaths, and relax it will pass :))
Tatiana Ensslin 💊💊 take two of these, and call me in the morning.
Would this work with plastic screws as well?
@@FDguy343 did you ever hear back from her? I'm just concerned whether she recovered ok
Quick no nonsense to the point video 👍
Perfect guide. This guy is good at this.
Just removed a screw from my digital piano. The trick is to use a small size drill bit, and use a larger size extract bit. It saved me at the last minute before I gave up.

I never use phillips for this very reason... nothing but star bits for me - T10 screws. I've never had a problem.
Yep. NEVER had this problem with Torx.
I stripped a t25 screw yesterday
So no Philips? Dam .. Driving me nuts on a simple pine garden frame too.
I had to buy a three piece set of extractors today. Was at Ace hardware and asked a female worker were the screw extractor bits were. She said they didn't have any and walked away. I went over to the bit section anyway. Looked for awhile and finally found them. 😒. I told that lady they did have them and I found them. She was surprised that I confronted her about it. 😏. Anyway, it worked great getting a screw out for some old worn blinds the previous house owner had stripped. I thought I was out of luck till I learned about these from this video. Worked perfectly.
Bought a set off Amazon and they came with very poor instructions. Thank you for the clear, easy to follow tutorial!
Thank you so much for this brilliant tutorial! ❤🙏🌟👍
Great video , to the point!! Just go in reverse! Kudos!!
Short and straight to point. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Great explanation. from UK
Brother you just saved my life. Thank you so much. :)
Thanks for this demonstration... It helped a lot...
Excellent video
Great video ,Many thanks
Perfect just bought the kit on Amazon and had no idea how to use it
Amazing, thank you for this amazing tutorial! A+
Beautifully instructive and concise! Thanks!
Great tutorials, thanks Chris.
Thank you for this tutorial, very handy!
Great information. 😊
Hey, that's pretty slick! Thanks for sharing! 🤓👍
Thanks, Bud.
Thank you Toby from the office
Straight to the point.
so many people think extractors are just chuck it in your drill and hit the trigger. which direction you're turning and what speed, is paramount.
Great content and high production quality. Thanks!
Thanks! I remember it works reverse threaded.
Thank you so much.
Thanks buddy. I’m not handy at all and needed the basics.
Excellent video and explanation. Thanks
Thank you sir, do think it'll work for mechanical problems?
Thank you for posting
Thank you!!! This was so helpful!!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
🙌
Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "unscrew yourself"! 😜
awesome video
Very nice
wow this was clean
Thank you for making this video... Should I be concerned doing this on screws for electronics? (in terms of damaging anything any components)
Should be the same process. Make sure the device is unplugged or disconnected from a power source and clean up all metal chips before plugging it back in.
@@rockler Thanks!
I Enjoy listening to his explanations. Almost Bob Ross tonnage.
Watching a bastard screw be brought out so easily was very satisfying.
Wonderful video!
This is so helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks Chris Great help!
Really great video! Thank you
Thank you Mr James Hetfield 👍
Cheers Chris. Good video.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing
You’re like the Walker Texas Ranger of woodworking
Very helpful thank you 🙏🏼😀
Excellent demonstration and presentation ! We had difficulty trying to unscrew M3 Button head screw. We used 2.5mm ball end, 2mm flat hex key but both cannot fit into screw socket. Which Extractor size do u recommend to unscrew M3 ?
Please reach out to our product support team at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com. They may be able to assist you. Thank you!
Ok. Im doing this on a tiny screw in plastic. It should come out easily with these bits. I just ordered a kit on amazon, $8
thank you man... =)
🗣 AWESOMENESS!!! THANKS 🙏🏽
Thnaks.
Smart 🤓 thanks 👍
Tremendous help! Thank you
Any advice doing this upside down on a beam? Going deeper with the same size or to a large size is not producing what you are showing
That specific task is one we have not attempted. It sounds as if you may have met your match or even exceeded the functionality of the screw extractor. You may have to resort to chopping out the material around the screw and then patching it with new wood. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and woodworkers sometimes go astray. If you have any further questions, we recommend reaching out to our Product Support team at 1-800-260-9663 or support@rockler.com.
Thank you
Brilliant clear description thank you
