SPEEDOUT - Damaged screw extractor - THIS THING WORKS 🔩🔩🔩

I thought As seen on TV meant that it would never work - WAS I WRONG! The speedout tool helped me remove a damaged screw...super easy.

Thanks for this video and the ryobi band saw video. Both helped me

Great stuff thanks for the video! I'm about to bust open my package and get this done!

I've never had much problem getting a screw out of wood without an extractor. This extractor definitely did the job quite easily. But I have a screw stuck in a bicycle part so its metal to metal. Still a good review.... thanks.

The spring in my front door mortise lock broke (not bad, as it's probably pre-1925) and to remove the lock, the doorknobs need to come off. One has a set-screw and the flat-bladed slot was messed up by a previous worker. It wouldn't budge and I made the slot worse. So... tried out a #2 Speed Out and I couldn't believe it, but it worked! Set-screw was steel and knob, brass, and I could see the corrosion/rust on the top 3 or 4 screw threads. Rusted in a bit, one might say. Anyway, I'm very impressed! One note though; once you insert the tapered end, push quite firmly for it to dig in and grab.

I see some posts saying it doesn't work, but some may have done the same thing I did. I just looked at the quickie instruction card that says it's as easy as 1. drill out, 2. flip bit, 3 extract. In number 1 drill out, it doesn't mention putting drill in REVERSE, as would be done using a regular drill bit, although if you look carefully you can see the little arrow on the drill bit is counter clockwise. Seems to me that would have been spelled out and maybe others have done the same thing. I did not notice the littler counter clockwise arrow and drilled with high pressure (clockwise) and just barely made a dimple not deep enough to use the extractor side. I used a regular drill bit in my drill which you must use in clockwise motion of course, and that was what I and most others that had to do this was used to. Then I used the Speedout bit in reverse as would normally be done with any screw extractor and it worked.

Have a Fisher and Paykel top loader gas dryer that was making a screeching noise due to a bad bearing. The M5 allen bolt on the inside of the drum was frozen and I ended up rounding it so that nothing would work to get it out. Went to Lowe's and bought a SpeedOut kit and ended up using the largest of the extractors and followed the instructions to the letter. Reamed it first with the drill in reverse to at least 1/16" of an inch into the bolt and then flipped the bit and used the extractor. The 1/2" drill I was using didn't have the power to turn the bolt (only to bite the bit into the bolt), so I clamped on a Vise-Grips locking pliers to the extractor bit and gave it a very slow, hard turn. And sure enough, I heard a snap and that bolt came loose. The extractor was into the bolt deep enough so that the heavy 1/2" drill I was using was literally hanging from it, but it didn't have the torque to do break the bolt. But, the SpeedOut did do the job. Consider me impressed with the tool. It may not work in all circumstances, but it is definitely something to have in the toolkit when all else fails. For $10 and a trip to Lowe's, it saved the day.

Tried on syeel n steel but it doesn't work for me.. anyway i suck when using handy tools.

Thanks for the vid. If anyone does the extraction, keep your drill in LOW or small number speed. I'm surprised your screw cam out as fast as you went in reverse.

I like to use Miracle Whip for Shampoo when I'm taking a Shower while standing in the toliet

[rendonrjr]

Stuff works I used it on honda civic rotor screw shit worked. U gotta use some lubricant for the bit..

[cgonzales]

used it on a screw that was grinded off worked like a charm

[JoeCliburn]

Tried it on a drywall screw. The cutting/burnishing end would barely scratch the coating much less drill out the screw itself.

[hammondr]

tried these when removing a broken starter bolt on my boat. worked for approximately .05 seconds before snapping off inside the bolt

[charleswilliams]

My screws came out as i drilled them. So other end was not even needed.

[DLSheaux]

wood but how about metal. old painted on screws on a motor. yeah I got one I'm stuck. lol

[rafaelmolina]

Can I use that on engine bolts on dirt bikes?

The first step to drill a hole on the tip of the screw with the drill bit. You said put it in reverse, was it the correct to do it or just misleading us? I know the third step is in reverse but first step???

[playfullysound]

This hollowed out my brittle plastic drain bolt. The idea to put a plastic drain bolt on the radiator results in a powdered plastic. And this speedout didn't work.

[stfloorguy]

idk mine won't even drill a hole in the screw head like they cheapened the heat I just bought them can't take out any screw I threw at it

[ubbme]

Won't work on old deck screws. The bits actually stripped and didn't cut into the screw at all. The screw heads were fine. I followed the instructions and tried these more than once. I actually stripped out 3 out of 4 of the bits. Returning this to Home Depot today.
