I have a #8 screw which is EXTREMELY stripped AND super tight. I tried this product to no avail. Am I using it correctly?

I found that in addition to the advice offered by the other two answers, in my case it was VERY important to keep the drill level (on the same plane as the screw) to aid in getting a bite. It worked for me. Good luck.

This product will work., The key is t make sure you use the reverse key on your drill for both task (drilling into the stripped head and the extraction). And oh yes, make sure you use the same bit for both task. Again, this product does work. I have used it several times and it has not failed me. Good luck.

Did you drill the screw in reverse using the cutting side first? Do that then flid it over to the cork screw side. Using your drill in reverse plunge the extractor into the screw to get a bite then stop the drill .use your drill like a wrench to get the screw to move.once it moves you can use the drill as usuall. Hope that helps

When I ordered them, the LONGER screws were included. Maybe you are using the wrong attachment. Try eliminating the extra RING,.

I used a very small allen wrench and used a lot of pressure. I didn't have a correct tool. I just tried my best to keep the opposite end still to tighten the screws. Ultimately one of the screws got lost, and I ended up replacing it with a small bolt and screwed a nut on and added epoxy glue.

It just detaches pretty easily after entirely removing the screw. Give it a few tries in and out and it should come out in no time.

unusable? Is it stripped out? Or did you lose it? If it's stripped you may be screwed.

I don't know. The screw seem standard but I have an older version... about 7 years old.

I have had the same issue and I think it has to do with the torque of the fastener you are trying to remove, you have to break that initial torque on certain fasteners, bolts, screws etc., and then it will be fine. It is an inconvenience but I still like using the tool and still happy with my purchase.

Are you thinking of trying to purchase the hardware from the manufacture? Yes. It's worth a shot to try. If not I'm sure u could go to the store and buy some that r the right size. Let me know what u want to do and I can send u a pic of the screw /size just need an email or text it to ya.

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

If I'm understanding your question (I my not be), what I found confusing was that it Does fit, it's just opposite threaded. Screws in counter clockwise and back out clockwise. I thought mine didn't fit too. Hope this helps.

Those screws will work if you item uses any sort of quick connect swivel mount. As for size, you use the longest of the two you stock will allow. You simply dirll a pilot hole the right size of the screw screw it in and your ready to go. You also may want to use a small amount of glue to keep the screw more secure.

You really need to figure out how thick the stock is at that point. Depending on the particular polymer, it will have to be drilled a bit larger than the the core of the screw; otherwise you'll end up breaking off the screw. If it is only a little too long just unscrew it grind off the tip so it won't interfere with the mechanism,m and put it back in.

Ours was half in and half out and the screw wouldn't turn. I called and they're sending a replacement. Hope it works.

Nnnnnnnnope! If your screws are seated really tight, you won't get too many uses. Best to go better with Wiha or Wera. Pay for the quality. I learned the hard way.

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

For other screws I'd recommend a reverse screw, though these are so small.. perhaps that could end disastrously. Alternative methods are going to be a challenge because the screws are set so deeply. Have you tried stretching a thin rubber band or disposable glove material over the provided screwdriver tip for added grip? I'm curious as to how you stripped the stock screws! I've replaced my screen twice and disassembled my phone dozens of other times to manually charge my battery (while waiting for a replacement USB charging port), yet the involved screws are in near-perfect condition.

go to Hogue and look it up to be sure, screws might not be the same and ect.... better safe then sorry!
