Over the years I've the understand that knowing how to use your tools will make a difference
By M Gray on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019
This tool did the job on the first try, the service repair guy told me a few hours earlier he charges minimum $40.00 to just look at my pressure washer to remove the bolt, that was a big No! No! for me, so I got out my tools and in 10 minuets I had the bolt out! I've read many reviews about many different products, many negative reviews not all, are simply are the results of the operator not knowing how to use the product correctly, resulting in a damage tool, job stoppage, or worst, etc. the best thing to do is to educate yourself first, I talked to a person down the street she was complaining about a 1/2 Ton pickup truck that she bought earlier, now she also purchased a 12,000 lb camping trailer, "her complaint" the truck is no good it won't pull my trailer very good, she was talking negative things about the company that built her truck, I simply told her that your truck was not designed to pull that much weight, there's nothing wrong with your truck, you need a heavier towing truck, simply she just didn't know, but yet she had negative comments about the vehicle, the right tool for the job is very important for best results.

Didn't work for the project I had
By Chickenuggets on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020
I needed a screw extractor for a brass, phillips, round headed screw. I am a complete amateur and the instructions seemed good enough and after watching some videos on DIY, I was confident. Problem is, it was not that easy and I had to remove the screwhead with drill bits in the end. I have limited experience with drills and screws and putting things together as well as tearing them apart. I have never stripped a screw in my life until now. What I was trying to remove was the screw that held a MOEN shower handle and while using a phillips head screwdriver, it got stripped. I used a manual screwdriver and went slowly while applying pressure (I tried the rubber band trick as well and it was a no-go). The phillips was not too big or small. Somehow it got stuck in the cartridge. So when trying to tap out the screw, all it did was make it leak and it took me 3.5 hrs before I gave up and drilled the F out of the head so I could pull off the handle (quitting is not my nature). Basically, I didn't give a good review because it didn't work as easy as advertised and if you want it done quickly, hire someone. If you don't have the cash, you can try it because I'm sure I had a special case and will probably work ok with other damaged screws (door hinge, drywall, furniture...). UPDATE: saw a few extractors at the nearest hardware store and guess what? The teeth on those are deeper unlike these. These are extremely shallow. That is most likely why it failed to extract the bad screw. *downgraded to 1 because WTF? How are these supposed to bite into the metal to pull it out??? No wonder it just looked like it just made some small threaded marks.
