How to Remove Stripped Screws with a Screw Extractor | Rockler Skill Builder

- 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.

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?

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.
Absolutely outstanding! Could not imagine a better how-to video. Great presentation skills. Thank you!
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
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.
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!
1:27 Man, that is one tidy workshop!! Wish mine looked like that.
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!
Best PROPER instructional video in youtube. Nice talking points, good pace, and easy to follow. a REAL professional host! Subscribed immediately
😊
10/10 For detailed & clear explanation of how this thing works.
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
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 ".
Time to get myself a set of screw extractor bits. Thanks for this!
So helpful. Your demonstration has given me confidence to give it a try.
That guy is a fantastic teacher, very well explained, very clear
Every single reason he mentioned Ive encountered. It actually made me feel good that it happens to pros too lol
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!
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!
Excellent video! Lots of good information, no filler.
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.
Thank you! The extractor kit did not come with instructions as good as this.
💙
very helpful video, short, to the point and simple. Thanks for helping me solve my stripped screw problem
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
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.
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
Great video host! Easy to follow and precise instructions!
Professional, not boring and informational!
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.
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.
Jeez this is the best video for this I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
This video was fantastic! Thank you!
fantastic video. loved it. honeslty i almost never comment. but you deserved it! got 2 kits today.
Excellent video, brief, succinct and straight-to-the-point!
🙌
Best one. Not confusing. Thanks man. God bless you

Thank you, Great explanation. from UK
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.
Short and straight to point. Thanks for sharing!
Straight to the point.
Thank you Toby from the office
Hey, that's pretty slick! Thanks for sharing! 🤓👍
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.

Excellent video
I Enjoy listening to his explanations. Almost Bob Ross tonnage.
Thank you so much.
Perfect just bought the kit on Amazon and had no idea how to use it
Amazing, thank you for this amazing tutorial! A+
Thanks buddy. I’m not handy at all and needed the basics.
Thank you!!! This was so helpful!!
You’re like the Walker Texas Ranger of woodworking
Great information. 😊
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!
Very nice
Awesome! Thanks so much!
🙌
Thnaks.
Wonderful video!
This is so helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks Chris Great help!
Thank you sir, do think it'll work for mechanical problems?
Cheers Chris. Good video.
Really great video! 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
🗣 AWESOMENESS!!! THANKS 🙏🏽
awesome video
Smart 🤓 thanks 👍
Great video!! Thanks for sharing
The drill chuck disengages when it undergoes too much torque going the reverse way, what do i do
I'm wondering why they asked a poet to make this video 🤔
Lmao😂 you’re hilarious
Alan Walker would have a field day with this video 😂
Hmm my extractor tip only has one of the two sides...
GeassEnabler Same, Found how to use it?
@@olivertalcoth no. I tried using a 3/16 bit but it's not drilling that far and the retrieval bit I bought doesn't catch.
I wish I could just notch the screw with something and then flathead this out
Will save my life at work
Tremendous help! Thank you
Very helpful thank you 🙏🏼😀
Thanks. I can finally deal with one damaged screw stuck in my car.
Brilliant clear description thank you
