This CASEKEY 6-piece screw extractor set is made for use with a power drill and comes in a compact storage case. Each bit has a drill end and an extractor end, so you can drill a starter hole, flip the bit and back the damaged screw out in three simple steps.

H2: Why keep a screw extractor set in your toolbox?
Stripped screws, rounded heads and broken bolts are a common problem for anyone who fixes, builds or repairs things. Once the head no longer grips, a normal screwdriver just spins. A screw extractor set gives your drill a new way to grip the screw and turn it out, which may save you a damaged part, a ruined project or a trip to the hardware store. Because the set is compact, it is easy to keep in a toolbox, a garage drawer or the trunk of your car.

H2: Safety tips
Wear safety glasses and gloves, because drilling metal can throw small shavings. Clamp or secure the workpiece, and start at a low drill speed. Do not force the bit. Results depend on the screw and the material, and very hard screws or hardened bolts may not come out. Stop if the bit binds, and keep your hands away from the spinning drill.
