Screw extractors safely remove stripped screws and replace the age-old practice of coating the screw-riddled device with wax and feathers and hurling it into the sun. Keep the sun junk-free today with our Precision Screw Extractor Set.
Every tech has dealt with a stripped screw head. We deal with them here at iFixit on a daily basis, even in brand new factory-fresh devices. Before you resort to the rotary tool or super glue, give these little guys a try. Their hardened bits with 4 sharp points work great for gripping what's left of the screwhead safely, without the risk of ruining other parts, unlike a cutoff wheel or grinder.
The extractor tips are double-sided and reversible: 3 drivers have the same size bits on each end, and 1 driver has different sizes on each end—a total of 5 different bits.
Handles are anodized machined aluminum with swivel tops and pocket clips. Made in USA.
Please Note: This tool requires some mechanical aptitude and careful feel. If you stripped a screw carefully using the correct type of driver the first time, it is possible you will not be successful with this tool. Our Screw Extracting Pliers are an easier to use tool (but will not work on recessed screws).
