He must be talking about the new Craftsman screw extractor.I've seen it on tv and it looks like it would work pretty good.

And i think 1999XLT found out it did

They work great but they aren't cheap. Nice to have, a real time saver if you've got a screwed up head. That did't sound right.

Now we have screw outs and bolt outs, -which is it? Do you guys have descriptions and part numbers?

I have seen those screw extractors on TV and they look like they would work great. I have used left handed drill bits for years to back out screws and bolts, the only bad thing about them is they tend to "drill" too much. Those screw extractors may have that covered :-)


Thanks for using FTE!

Sounds like the old EZ outs to me. When they work they're great but they can snap off in the bolt and then you're screwed. Verry hard to drill through.

These things go on the OUTSIDE of the fastener stud/nut. You don't have to drill a hole in the bolt. These would work on rounded off nuts or studs that have torn up threads etc that are above the surface, but would not work on a bolt broken flush or beneath the surface. For that you need an easy out etc.

There are tips here in the Garage forum for dealing with other types of broken bolts, studs, and even broken off easy outs. It looks like this tool is meant to take the place of a conventional "nut cracker" and would fit in locations that a nut cracker would not.

Sears Item #00952162000
Mfr. Model #52162

I wonder who the manufacturer is?

This is the large 13pc set for $40

There are two 5pc smaller sets available, one has a plastic case that has room for the other set also, They are $20 each

I don't know what the "other" 3 pcs are...

I will get a set of these AND the screw outs. The screw outs look like they would work well. I have used left handed drill bits for screw outs but they tend to drill. I have also ground an old broken drill bit shank into something like the screw outs and it "worked" but the angles were not quite right.

Thanks for using FTE!

Hey, that's great! Maybe that is the tool that will remove my stripped-out brass temp sender on my Cleveland!

I just saw this at Grainger:

5pc Twist Out Set
Damaged Nut And Bolt Removal Set
Your Price: $35.95
Grainger Item#: 3LE67
Manufacturer: KD TOOLS
Mfg. Model#: 3537

According to the picture it looked like they had more gripping teeth than the Craftsman units. For the price of this 5 piece set you can get the big set from Craftsman. KD Tools are often available at parts houses.

The only problem is that not all of us have a corporate account, so we can't order from Grainger

I opened an account years ago for a moonlight business and have kept it open by buying occasionally. It came in handy when it was time to replace my furnace last year. I also use it for a lot of other shop and household items. I also run items for friends thru the account to keep the volume up. Do you have a friend who moonlights?
