Best method and you may laugh but it works 100 percent, put a elastic band on screw head use drill with screwdriver 🪛 bits, the elastic band moulds it self into both surfaces

Thanks for saving me money!
Make sure to use the slow speed high torque setting (1) on your drill when doing the extracting. Only use the high speed (2) setting for making the initial pilot hole.
Meant to be used with an impact driver at low torque setting
It actually says it on the packaging..🤔🤔🤔
Sounds almost obvious
Exactly what I was going to comment. Improper use of tool. #2 on a cordless drill is meant for drilling not screwing, nevermind extraction.
A bad workman always blames his tools 🤫
I find it quite entertaining, the number of people who post videos as supposed experts, who then prove they are winging it!
I have used this type of tool with great success which surprised me because the screw I wanted to remove was over torqued and threadlocked into place. There are 2 things you have to do for this to be successful. 1) when using the bit to drill out the screw head, use the bit the size smaller than the recommended one then use the bit the next size up when you attempt removal. 2) use hand tools only when using the removal end of the bit. Power tools have too much immediate torque.
Yes
This takes practice... I appreciate the information very much. I was not successful today with this tool. But I want to continue to learn practice. Its very necessary IMO when working on any vehicle.
I bought a manual kit. So you use the drill to prep the stripped screw, but when extracting, you use ratchet with little bit of pressure. Worked for me. Take your time and don't over power the tools.
Там на упаковке импакт нарисован,разве это ручной комплект?
Pretty sure the instant shock from a single speed setting was the culprit. Needs to be used at slow speed with variable speed drill.
Yes
No. These are just stupid tools that don’t work. But go ahead. I’ll bet you have a nice GATOR-grip socket you swear by as well???
Let a man show you how to extract a screw
Pretty sure anyone who is “pretty sure” is “pretty wrong”
You have no clue
They work very well when used properly
When that bit broke.!!! Omfg I'm dying... so unexpected its hilarious 😂🤣😂
🤣
Slow n steady tapping, I lernt the hard way to.
Wow.. your every easily entertained!
I laughed so hard at that.... 🤣😂😭
I literally laughed out loud when that happened too 🤣😂🤣
In similar situations I've always found that cutting a slot with a Dremel and then using a flat head to get the screw out worked pretty well in the past.
Still works to this day actually
@@LeonCameroEven today?
Explain how you cut the slot with a dremel.
@@OsaculnenolajOThis ceased to work on August 17, 2022.
@@caseyclausen2627 Damn that's rough.
Never had any luck with any kind of screw extractor. They either stripped out or broke just like yours. Especially with hardened steel head bolts on my Subaru. For most non-head bolt jobs (which I refuse to even try), I use the tried-and-true Dremel method: cutting a slot in the top with the grinding disc and then turning it with a slotted screwdriver.
Same here
Yep, this method has never failed me.
One of the more honest displays even if his technique wasn’t perfect.
I have an old set of Craftsman (back when Craftsman still made good stuff) extractors but never used them...until two weeks ago. I simply took a 3/32" drill bit and drilled into the broken 1/4-20 bolt, then removed it with the extractor. Worked like a charm.
I used that exact set a few days ago. I had to switch from the smallest extractor to the medium one. I think a difference in how I got them to work was that I was using an impact drill, and I had it go very slowly. I was also pressing very hard into the screw.
I had the very same results...now I know I'm not the only one this happens to. Thanks!
Craftsman had the same system before they were made in China and had similar results. I went and bought a what I would call a traditional screw extractor set. I have used these in the past. They take a little longer but are tried and true and work
Some things may have been done better
1. Drill a hole in the screw head first
2. Use a bigger extractor bit
3. Go very slow on rotation but with as much pressure as possible applied on the screw
!! Go counterclockwise from the start.
that's an honest review, there's not much of thoses on internet. so here's a upvote and a comment to pump it up!
After a few initial failed attempts, and watching this video I was discouraged, but this exact set did end up working for me! 🙌🏻
A couple of pro tips if I may.
#1 use a regular drill bit to start with so you dont prematurely wear out the drill bit end.
#2 ALWAYS go straight in, trying to remove on an angle well break your extractor 9 times out of 10.
#3 make sure that you drill deep enough. If your hole is wider than the part of the extractor you have in the hole it will not grab.
#4 there are less expensive brands that work just as good condition if not better.
Great tips. Thank you!
#5 Don't buy trash !
I think the idea of the drilling part is good because you could always make a small rectangle shade with the smaller ones a try with a flat head screw driver to remove the screw
Wow, thank you so much for doing this! No matter what I watch or read or try, I can't get these things to work. (Even trying the belittling "corrections" that some commenters post.) Great video, this and your follow up. Ignore any cutting comments from the know-it-all-but-never-actually-tried-themselves crowd. This is a great, real use video and appreciated by real folks like me just trying to make these things work when we really need them!
You should note that the bits are specifically marketed for use with an impact driver, not a drill.
Good advice 😉
I think an impact driver would’ve shattered it too considering bits and materials not meant for impacts tend to shatter or brake from the torque.
If it didn’t have the strength to stand up to this drill the torque of the impact driver would’ve definitely shattered it
@@TheChupacabra well said 👍
Just used the Speedout (As Seen On TV) version on a bolt that the head had been cut off. The key is use a variable speed drill/driver and to go sloooowwwww with the extractor end to avoid stripping the pocket out. Both steps are done in reverse setting, at least with the Speedout version.
I’ve had the speed out set for years. I’ve had about a 75% success rate with them. In some cases they will bite and the head of the screw will twist off. Typically rusted wood screws that have been in exterior wood for years.
I have the Speedout kit. I can never get a bite, what am I doing wrong?
@@homerthompson6028 make sure when drilling out the new hole on the first step to keep the drill straight and steady. If the bit moves around, then you will create too large of a hole for the extracting side of the bit. Also make sure you have tapped it deep enough so the coned end of the bit's sides make contact in the new tapped hole. Also you need to put some force behind the drill and push down on it when you start to extract. Use a drill that has variable speed and do it slowly. You use to much power and you will likely snap the bit.
If you still have tried a few times already using the same bit and still can't get it to bite then the bit may have already worn down.
Do you currently have a stripped screw? If so then there are alternative methods you can try. There are other extractors that have more aggressive bite to them that you use with a hammer that applies downward force enabling a better grip.
If you have a stripped screw or bolt where it still has the head on then you can use a disc grinder and cut grooves that will fit a Phillips head or a flathead and then use an impact screwdriver (I don't mean an electric impact driver or hammer drill) to loosen the stuck fastener. The impact screwdriver twists slightly when smacked with a hammer and at the same time downward force is applied by the hammer striking thus providing a better bite and less chance if slipping and stripping the fastener. Also make sure you have the right size screwdriver. An ill fitting one will just strip again.
@@bubbalo3388 thanks for that detailed info. When using the burnishing end I do push down on it but i can only get it about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down. Should I be drilling all the way down?
@@homerthompson6028 you just need to drill down as deep as possible so you can get as much of the extracting cone end in there to twist and grab onto the sides. The more you can get it there then the less chances of it slipping. But be careful to go so deep that you detach the head of the screw.
Apply some force behind it during the "extraction part of the process" to help it dig in. Otherwise it will likely spin and strip.
Other reasons this may not work is the screw is in there just to tight and made of too soft an alloy.
Used a similar set recently. The extraction bit with the thread was also spinning inside the screw, even when going slowly with the drill. So I then did it by hand by attaching the extraction bit to a ratchet. This worked as after a few turns it started biting and took the screw out.
That’s the only way
I am not understanding how the ratchet will magically make the bit grab.
@@jakemccoy forgot to mention you also need to cast the special spell.
@@harpoon2445 That worked, thanks.
@@jakemccoy you need to turn slowly by hand until it starts to get grip. The ratchet makes it easier to keep the bit in the same spot where it found grip.
I was about 1 for 8 on those today. Never had luck with these types of extractors.
I also broke off two of the extractor ends of the bits to the similar set - grabit speed out extractor set. But they DID work using the other sizes eventually. I used the drill slowly until it “grabbed” and the removed the drill and used a socket wrench to finish it out. Boy it was an ordeal I tell you.
I was an aircraft mechanic and I have taken lots of stripped out screws out. The best way I found was to use a speed handle with a large knob on the top with a screw driver bit holder and lean hard against the screw and bump the handle to rotate the screw out. If that doesn't work drill the center of the screw with a drill bit the correct size for the extractor bit. Snap on makes an extractor set that looks like a bolt but the shaft has the extractor. Use the speed handle with a socket that the extractor fits in and slowly turn it counter clock wise while applying a lot of pressure to make sure it digs into the metal. Snap on also makes extractors that look like drill bits but you will need a special socket that it fits into to turn it with a speed handle or rachet.
Snap On is the best you can buy virtually but sometimes hard to buy from and certainly very expensive , I`ve come to hate their new warranty also but a good tip.
I've been using these type of screw extractors for years and years, one thing I have noticed the extractor end works better when the electric screwdriver is put on low.
I had the same experience. They worked on 1 screws out of 5 on a deck. Typically they just wouldn’t bite.
When that bit broke that was the funniest thing that has happened to me today.
Thanks.
On your broken bit, you have to go straight in. Your other option is to use a bigger drill bit to remove the head of the screw. Thank you for the flashback! Keep up the good work.
Good point, a bit extension would be in order.
Definitely puts the wrong kind of tension on the
project using an angle, triples the force needed,
almost has not choice but to snap the end off.
Remove the head of the screw, why?
@@jakemccoy without the screw head you can just pull it out. you can always replace that screw with a new one so there's no point keeping the old one. The other way is just to saw the head off or cut a vertical line and use flat head driver
I'm trying to remove a shower door that is fastened with flathead screws into some tile. A similar extractor set got maybe one screw out, but a couple others sheared the heads of the screws off leaving bolts still in the tile
Well, I bought the DeWalt double sided scre extractor kit and it was a terrible disappointment. They failed to remove my screws from the deck floors. Much improvement is needed in this particular tool
Use a cutting wheel on a rotary drill to cut a thick enough slot on the head. Then apply slow even pressure with a flat head driver to remove the stripped screw.
These screw extractors are made with hardened steel, but are really brittle. You'll have to apply your drill a lot less aggressively to have success with these bits.
No problem, then throw away the grabrail. shrugs...
@@bikersoncall
0:36..if the hand rail was installed by the "previous owner", who's to say the current owner wants it? He removed it to repaint the bathroom. So my thinking is that it's junk anyway.

hard to say.
@@bikersoncall
Ha! I looked again, the rail is located next to a toilet. The previous owner put that rail there, for to use after doing his business. Then comes the paper work. (wiping his bum bum) Not exactly something I'd want to keep, knowing that it was used in that way.
It kinda creeps me out.
used the exact same method to unscrew small allen screw that would break the allen keys
2 things, use the easy outs by hand no power tools and another option is to use a drill bit drill off the screw head,remove the handbar,then use vise grips to remove the rest of the screw.
Some people I believe call these "easy outs"? In any case, this was what I needed. Thanks for posting.
I am glad I am not the only one not able to extract a stripped screw using these extractors. I was doubting if I did not know how to use it. I am going to try the dremel and screwdriver method.
Good to know of these bits. But I guess the easier way would have been to saw in a new slit (using a rotary tool) and then use the usual screw driver.
Or a hack saw or just a hack saw blade. And use a straight blade screwdriver with a lot of weight or pressure on it, so it doesn’t slip out.
I've used my set (different brand but looks the same) many times since I bought them some 15+ years ago. I can't think of a time when they failed me but I don't think I've come across quite the same challenge, those screws were pretty long and stuck. Also my drill is an impact drill which could make all the difference.

I would have thought if anything an impact driver would be a lot harder on the bit these DeWalt bits were probably manufactured in China which isnt known for its quality control lol
I used a thick rubber band over screw head and manual screwdriver. Old school but grips well and works almost every time.
I am (amateur) so glad that you (professional) have the same problems with the tool!
Wow i didn't expect that first one to fail that easy. I don't trust this kind of products that promises an easy job... Thanks for the video!
Yes, surprised me too!
yeah because your not using the toll correctly
you need to use a very slow speed and work it out
preferably a hand tool and not a drill on the wrong setting
@@lionel66cajppppp0 the packaging on this product says it’s to be used with an impact drill, not hand tools. Just had the exact same thing happen to me with this product today.
@@davidvohwinkel9678
Well yeah I guess you could
But the drill would have to be on slowest setting and on at start the lowest setting to disengage
Then work your way up super slowly on the bite setting
They are made from high carbon steel and will shatter if you put to much force on them
The Snap On impact driver bits also shatter or break
Sometimes the drilling end of the bit alone provides enough bite to remove the screw depending on how stuck in it is.
Thanks for the video though, was interesting to see how these Dewalt bits perform 👌🏻
Now that sums up my experience with every dewalt product I had
Thanks for this. I just bought these and I'm going to return them before I open them.
I would recommend an extension so you can get straight on and if needed, try a hammerdrill, which would add impact. There are also hammer impacts made for things like this. Metal on.meral grip is tough! I bet the ones that would not come out are long screws. Not sure what to say there. Maybe another possibility would be put a soldering iron on it right before trying to reverse it. Best of luck!
What kind of extension? Could you link a good extension to use?
@@astevenson82 They're called an arbour
I tried one of those on a crankshaft seal retainer bolt on an aircraft engine. I had to do it through one of the prop stud holes. When it snapped I had no choice but to drill out the extractor and try something else. It took 4.5 hours to drill out the extractor and burned up about 20 #30 cobalt drill bits. It was a different brand (Grabbit) but same tool. Once the extractor was removed I ended up drilling the hole oversize for a Helicoil. Worked perfect in the end. Moral for me was to not use those on anything without a second possible option. I invested in some Vampliers, too.
Had the same experience here. Never used these shit extractors ever again.
I've used those to remove screws that were stuck in studs too, and my biggest take away was, if there's not adequate pressure being applied to the drill while turning the bit, the sharpest point of the edge can get caught in the wrong groove and break just like that, also if drill and bit are not completely level that could break it too!
Whenever I've had to shift a stripped screw or rounded bolt I just cut a flat screwdriver slot with a hacksaw, angle grinder, or Dremel. Is there any reason you couldn't use that method here? Also since you weren't keeping the rail anyway there's nothing preventing destruction of the rail to expose the screws.
Another option is to use a small set of locking pliers and with an ultra tight grip, counterclockwise twist and remove and you could have used a chisel to break of the handle frame mount by pounding and breaking around the screw mounts.
Best method and you may laugh but it works 100 percent, put a elastic band on screw head use drill with screwdriver 🪛 bits, the elastic band moulds it self into both surfaces
@@pauliepaul3697 this sometimes works, but not always. It usually works really well with Robertson head screws.
@@IamACanadian47 bullet proof method use thin grinding disc and grind slot on top of screw then use a flat top screw driver
I think the reason it broke was because the angle you were on. Think about it. Once it turn 180 degrees it would have to be on a equal angle in the opposite direction. You know. Downward into the part.
My granddaughter called me last week about stripped screws. I told her bring it over and I would look at it. Took out my new set of screw extractors, which I bought a few years ago, and I was admased how fast I extracted that stripped screw.
Worked like a charm..excellent product if done correctly
You need to treat the extractor as a tap, which after all is what it is, albeit a tapered left hand one. Never failed with mine. Use them properly and I hope you have success.
We use the Pro-Grabit (I think owned by Snap-On) in the aerospace industry all the time. The cutting side wears out pretty fast. Also you have to use LOW speed on the extractor side, preferably with the clutch set around 12-15. You can also use a crescent wrench to break the screw free.
I see you did an updated video, so hopefully you've since learned how to use the tool correctly
lol the snap on itself was made by IRWIN HANSON.. god I love how these snap on die hard fan boys making everthing a snap on.
@yifan8042 we use the Irwin Hanson stubby extractors almost every day, never seen their grabit-style ones. Even use Ezy-Outs still on occasion. Why are you being weird?
@@cryangallegos am i being weird? or just simply pointing out the fact that certain group of people just automatically assumed anything good was owned by snap on. i think someone in the comment section just did that, I don't know, maybe just me being weird. oh, by the way, if the term of "snap on die hard fan boys" offensed you, I apologize for that. but yea, I call the group of people mentioned above as snap on die hard fan boys.
2:33 Classic! Same thing happens when doing any engineering work in a garage, basically if you feel that a snapped off bolt is too easy to get out you snap an 'easy out bolt extractor' in the bolt just to make the whole job a bit more interesting! 😞
I have a set of Grabit extractors from years ago. Exact same thing as these. They work maybe 1/2 the time. I usually end up squaring off the head of the screw with a Dremel, then use a vice grips to extract.
If the screw is perfectly strait and your trying to extract it in an angle , the extractor will break. Before doing this try putting valve grinding compound on the tip of the screw driver ( this gives more grip ) to the tip , and a lot of pressure while trying to turn the screw . Surprised only seen these problems when the screw is installed in metal.
Strait ye?
Like the straits of gibralter like?
On the package it looked like you're supposed to use an impact on it
This worked for me honestly on 7 stripped screws in my house. I guess it’s hit or miss, but it worked for me.
The Nejisaurus pliers/grips are awsome at getting screws out as long as u can grip the head of the screw💪
Thank you for a real life video. I've been trying for a week to remove screws on my back deck steps so I can replace the planks. Every "extractor" bit video I had thus far seen, showed them using it on a screw they had just screwed into a board. Not one that is in rotting wood, had been painted over and endured decades of wear. I had two different extractor bit brands and neither of them worked for me. They just spun around like your second attempt. And that was with the drill on the lowest speed. 😖
"Hi"! Please see my post on this thread about how I use glue, a hex nut, and my ratchet, to remove a stripped screw. Have fun. "SAFETY FIRST"!
Try a solid strike with a hammer, then use a soldering iron. As the screw cools, it may break the tension and corrosion from years of outdoor life. If it were metal on metal, heat it as hot as possible and hit it with cold water to break the rust and corrosion bond.
I had a set similar to this, different brand, that I purchased at Lowes. It was "guaranteed" to work. I had the same problem that you had with the smaller bits. I am working under a truck in a very confined space and still haven't been able to get it out. 😥
Try to hammer in a torx bit and use a wretched not a powertool
Also ive put the extracter bit in the hole tapped it with a hammer,worked for me.
I have a brand new pack i have never opened. Now i want to try them out. thanks for sharing your results.
If you have enough of the damaged screw sticking out, then use a set of locking pliers (a.k.a. "vise grips") to grab a hold and unscrew. It's a bit tedious, but it works most of the time.
I really wow'd the guys at work with that trick
For those you need to drill all the way with the cutting end before trying to extract
So he did not drill deep enough with the first side of the drill bit?
I got this exact set to work with my impact driver. I did have to switch them from smaller to larger.
I got the milwaukee ones. The #2 drill bit side actually sheared on the first go at low speed. Had to use an actual titanium nitride drill bit to properly drill the hole. The #2 extractor held up though, but who knows how long it’ll hold up in future use. I guess like all bits these are expendable and consumable tools
I use Irwin Brand and it works for me so well. I use Impact Driver with Power setting#1 or #2 but I have to fed off the trigger. When I'm using drill I use speed setting#1 the low Speed. I've been using mine for 3 years now and the tool can still extract stripped screws and small bolts.
That’s exactly what a friend of mine did, to remove a stripped cap head axle collet hex bolt on my expensive Mtn bike. We used the Irwin EZ Out with a T-Handle and some Kroil penetrating oil. Worked magic.
Gentlemen! It drives me crazy when I see you suffer while doing things "the hard way". "K.I.S.S." I have removed many stripped out screws WITH A RATCHET! Clean the head of the screw with a q-tip, to remove any grease or grime. Then, use crazy glue, epoxy, gorilla glue, or solder, to attatch a tiny hex nut onto the stripped screw's head. This gives the screw a "new head", which is now a hex nut. Now, it can be removed with a ratchet. Have fun. SAFETY FIRST!
Gonna try it, hope it works, thnx
Do a video
Another way is to use a Dremel with a burr tool. Burr out or drill out the center to get some depth, then burr out a slot on one side of head and then another on the opposite side then use a straight edge screw driver to size to remove. 😂. Not only does it work, you can continue to use the screw in case you don’t have a new one. Unfortunately I have never had good luck with the kits. 😢
@@actualdavidhenryhe already explained it lol
Make a video. This video is for normal homeowners, not contractors who already know the terms. There are terms and steps in your replies that are instantly understood by contractors, but not normal homeowners.
I just used my screw extractor kit on a ton of outdoor screws on my porch and it worked most of the time. You need to make a deeper hole with the first step before putting in the thread thread bit to attempt extraction. This is what I learned. I had Irwin brand.
I use to drill a hole into the screws and force by hammering a long torx key inside the hole that i drilled,and then drive out the screws.
For driving them out i use a DeWalt DCF894 and a set of beta 1/2 120mm long torx.
I love seeing vids of how to use tools incorrectly.
Thank China, always best quality with reasonable price 😂
surprisingly
hahaha your emotional icon at the end of comment is the answer yeeeeeahhha best like @gili nothing is original these days always asia shit ~
Actually it is the best quality for the price, you buy cheap, you get cheap
China makes you what you pay them for. You pay them good money they make you good stuff. You paid them cheap, they make you cheap stuff
@@simonz4936 you’d be surprised how many products are made in china but sold as a “assembled in US” product that people swear by their great quality. I sell central AC units assembled by Kenmore but made in china. No complaints from customers. 😂
Just used one from an original "EZ Out" set from years ago and just the drill side in reverse actually bit and unscrewed the screws. These things are kind of hit or miss but great when it works, surprised to see the dewalt brand crapped out like that
snap on versions of these tools work so well, worth the money. they bite when other tools strip out, lose grip or break
Don’t use these Dewalt extractors. They are way, way too brittle. Irwin and other brands are much better.
Thanks for the tip!
Have a set of those bits love them you used to many of times
I have used the "Grabit" screw extractors which I believe were the first of this kind of screw extractors with excellent results. One thing I've learned with all screw extractors is to use the largest size that can possibly work.
- Same experience here with that kind of extractor kit. Not that there are much instructions on how exactly to use it.
- There is also a trick worth trying where you press a rubber band in the screw head so that your screwdriver has more grip.
- In the end, I usually end up using a saw and/or pliers in those situations.
I had the same results as you did. My head didn't smap off.
This was funny 😂 I thought this should be interesting and then the bit broke and then it became hilarious🤣 Well done.
I have a stripped micro screw on my laptop. Any ideas to get it out?
I had the same experience with those even when I used my Dewalt impact driver
A while back I had to use something like that under my car in a super tight spot. I felt so lucky that it worked but not after at least one bit broke

I like the blood on his fingers after he's done. That's me with every project like this. There's no escaping even the smallest injury.
Man worked for me perfect can’t complain
Same thing happened to me when I tried these bits. I contacted their customer service and they sent multiple replacement packs for no charge.
That is a well installed handle.
As a former contractor I made a few observations, one of them has been noted in other comments, but I did not see the others...
1. Straight! If you cannot have straight access you WILL snap off your bit. Try an extension, readily available in multiple lengths so your tool does not come in contact or rub.
2. The package clearly shows an IMPACT, not a drill. You can also see that this was designed for an impact by the ring cut just behind the tip (meant for locking into an impacts quick release chuck). Impacts work by using less constant torque, instead there is a type of "hammering" that makes a huge difference. This also works in the case of rusted bolts and screws as well.
3. Speed, just about every impact (and drill) these days has a variable speed trigger allowing you to control the speed (in addition to the speed setting switch). When men come to work for me and don't have experience with these power tools they often strip or break tips, screws, and bolts because they pull the trigger all the way instead of applying only the pressure needed to the variable speed trigger.
Try-try again as they say.
Gen Expert, ty for Video great job, I also bought same bits form HD. To remove screws on my porch deck and it basically tore the heads off the screw & eventually broke just like yours. So had to revert to old fashion elbow grease, chiseling, hacksaw and Dremel, I was disappointed to say the lease!
watched your video after failed doing it.. and i can agree with your video.. this thing just drill in my screw without even locking any of the screw part.. now I'm totalley screwed..
A lot of times you can jamb a square drive bit in the stripped out screw head with presuure and slowly extract it or cut a notch with a multitool and use a flat screw driver to remove.
big thumbs up for a real review showing the tool failed.
My directions say to use the extractor end on the lowest/slowest setting. Your burst method seems to have exceeded specifications.
It worked fine for me. But I took it slow on the first bit. The second bit grabbed good, but I did have to drill out a second time to get deep enough. I also stopped the drill during the extraction, and just turned the drill counter clockwise slowly. That loosened the screw and then I could apply power and get it out. This worked for 3 screws with no broken bits.
Had the same ( almost) problem with those bits. Mine didn't shear, but they didn't work either.
A Dremel with a thin cutoff wheel used to make a slot would make it easy as to get them out
That is really sad. Been there and done that myself. I usually end up using the hack saw blade as you did, or if I can get any kind of a grip I use vise grips pliers and go from there. I am very surprised to see such a failure by a DeWalt product. This is something to remember.
Oh, man. I was enjoying the demonstration too! 😂
