    I never even knew it was a thing. I’m assuming most people don’t have them.

      I see sales for them all the time at hardware stores.

    I got a set, tried to use them twice and they failed both times.

  In thought all my stripped screw troubles would end when I found this tip and seeing how much it’s suggested. But all that ever happens is I pierce the gripping medium due to the force required. Maybe there is a quality option that can withstand this but I’m probably buying extractors if in spending money at that point.

  YES BECOME FLATHEAD. ive also used torqx and pounded them in. Like a poor mans easy out, works about 20% of the time

    If people don’t know the trick above then they definitely don’t know what easy out is lol. It does work and is under rated.

  Another option for smaller screws is just to drill out the head, it will let go.
