What's in the box
  • 4 double-ended screw extractor bits (#1–#4)

“Removes any stripped screw in 10 seconds or less.” — Lowe's product listing

Overview

Built to get you unstuck.

A contractor-grade set of double-ended extractor bits in M2 high-speed tool steel. One end drills a clean cone into the damaged head, the other bites in and backs the screw out — both in reverse, in the drill you already own.

  • Two ends, one bit

    The drilling end cuts a clean cone into the damaged head; flip it and the extracting end grips that cone.

  • M2 high-speed tool steel

    The 4-pack is made from M2 HSS for strength and durability.

  • Drill or impact driver

    Rated for use with impact drivers on the package. Run it in reverse either way.

  • Every common head

    Phillips, flat, hex and painted-over screws, plus screws with the head snapped off.

How to use

Reverse. Pressure. Slow.

  1. Close-up of the SpeedOut drilling end, its fluted tip lined up over the head of a stripped screw

    Drill in reverse

    Chuck the drilling end. Set the drill to reverse. Press firmly and cut a clean divot, about 1/16–1/8 in deep.

  2. The double-ended SpeedOut bit with curved arrows showing it flipped end for end

    Flip bit may be hot

    Take the bit out, flip it end for end and chuck the extracting end. Handle with care — it heats up.

  3. The extracting end's spiral reverse threads biting into the screw head and backing the screw out

    Extract still in reverse

    Keep the drill in reverse. Go slow and apply significant pressure. The screw backs right out.

  • These worked for 90 percent of the deck screws I needed removed. They do wear out so depending on how many screws you need to remove you may need to buy 2 sets.

FAQ

Questions about the Screw Extractor.

Which end goes in first?

The drilling end. Run the drill in reverse and let it cut a clean divot into the damaged head, then flip the bit to the extracting end.

It spins but won't bite. What now?

Drill the cone a little deeper (about 1/16 in) and try again, or move up one size. Keep the drill in reverse, go slow and push hard.

Will it work on drywall screws?

The instructions don't recommend it for drywall/sheetrock screws.

Why reverse for both steps?

It's the #1 thing people miss. Drilling in reverse cuts the cone without driving the screw deeper, and the extracting end is cut to grip counter-clockwise. Reverse to drill, reverse to extract.
