“These were cool in that you don't have to turn your bit over. The extractor will adjust down once you have your hole deep enough. Which will be a tall order for quality screws with the bit. One day the bits will be cobalt or black oxide, but not today. Overall, it is the best quality bolt extractor I've ever used. I've still been unable to do so successfully, though I'll admit that it is likely user error.”
“Handy to have the full set of 3 different sizes. You never know when you'll need them. They do work but instructions are a bit confusing. The packaging looks good, but i recommend they put the instructions in the plastic black box that holds the bits and puts the sizes for each set on the black plastic box cover.”
“Usually I just look for my vice grips when I find a rounded off bolt, but now I have options! Try to get the bit centered before you drill the hole, but I found that it even worked off center in my test. I did have to guess which bit to find the right size, and don't burn yourself when screwing down the outer sleeve for the extractor, but otherwise worked flawlessly. Also, make sure your item is well secured.”
“I didn't get to use it a whole lot, so I don't know everything about it, but when I did use it didn't break immediately like everything else I had tried, in fact - it didn't break at all :)”
“I work on a lot of projects, and one the most frustrating challenges is dealing with screws that break off. That is why I decided to order the three sets of speedout-to ensure I always have the right size for any job. Initially, I was hesitant because of some mixed reviews, but I still gave it a try. My first test involved removing a broken screw while working on my truck's grill. The screw had snapped when I was trying to removed it, and I had secured the grill with a strap to keep it in place.”
“Honestly. Super impressed with this. For as cheap as it is, it does a heck of a job. That being said I've only used it once in a lag bolt. I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable using it on a motor. Because it creates lots of fine shavings. But for extracting a bolt in a non sensitive area. It will get the job done. I was honestly surprised at how stout it is. The fact that it's hardened this well was a welcome relief. Often these removers are mid grade junk. Not the case here.”
“I used the Speedout Pro Bolt Extractor (finally) today, 11-5-25. The Speedout Pro arrived as a set of 3 different individual sets. One is the "Screw Extractor". Another is the "Mini Screw Extractor" and the 3rd. is the Bolt Extractor. With the bolt extractor set it has a set of 4different sizes. I have already tested the first two. I am really getting the hang of it now. I used the largest bolt extractor. First you must "Drill Out In Reverse". Then drill down to the top of the drill head.”
“I had stripped a screw and to make things worse, I was having a hard time reaching it. I was completely screwed because I could not get it out, nor grab it with pliers, and could not cut it off. There was no room to get into where this screw was. I was giving up hope and about to use a sledgehammer. As a last resort I tried the Speedout Pro. Initially I had no luck and more curses were heard. I finally realized I was not following directions and using the Screw gun the wrong direction.”
“Most commonly I run into bolts failing to extract when performing vehicle repair. The head usually snaps off when trying to remove the bolt. The damage is usually done while installing the bolt. The idea behind this extractor set is that you can use a drill to remove the bolt, rather than the hand turned bolt extractors that I had lots of previous experience with. The first step is to drill a hole in the bolt head. Any bolt can break, but it's usually an exhaust manifold or water pump bolt.”
“This product works really well on extracting bolts – it took me about one minute to extract a stripped bolt! I tested this tool out by driving a 8mm – 1.25 x 25mm Philips drive machine bolt into a 2x4. I then drilled out the head to represent it being stripped. I popped one of the Speed Out bits into my drill, and it drilled out a pocket into the head of the bolt. This took the longest time since there was a quite a bit of material to remove to clear the way for the tap.”
“Worked pretty well on the first try. Granted, I primed the conditions by cutting off the screw head and hitting it with a punch. It was a 1/4" screw as can be seen in the photo, so I used the smallest one. It had no problem drilling down into the metal quickly. I ran out of patience waiting to drill down far enough for the applicable threads to reach so I screwed it down and it came out easily, even using a fast speed. Hopefully it works again when I actually need it.”
