Every DIY project has that one screw: the head strips, the driver just spins, and suddenly nothing else can happen until it comes out. A screw extractor is the plan B: drill a small hole in the center of the screw, tap the extractor in, and turn it counterclockwise. The left-hand spiral bites harder the more the screw resists.

This set pairs each extractor with the right drill bit, and the sizes are etched on the tools themselves, so there’s no chart to look up mid-job.

Pro tip Go slow and steady with a hand wrench or a drill on its lowest speed in reverse. A drop of penetrating oil and a few minutes of waiting help more than force. Extractors break when they’re forced.

Why we like it

✓Five spiral-flute extractors plus matching drill bits
✓Each extractor is etched with its size and the drill bit to use
✓Left-hand spiral bites harder as the screw resists
✓Metal index case keeps the set together

Keep in mind

!Extractors are hard and brittle — snap one inside a screw and the job gets much worse
!Very small screws (eyeglass, electronics) are below this set's range
