GBI was about to give up on getting a… I was about to give up on getting a stripped allen head screw out of an aluminum access cover on the front of an oil pump to a 7.3 powerstroke. I tried vampliers, Harbor Freights Drill Master (similar to Grabits) and lastly Grabits. It was the largest grabit and a lot of perpendicular down force on the grabit that finally freed the screw.

GBX-out works! First time using this kit. Had a allen screw head that was stripped out and in an inaccessible area. The X-out bit removed it just as advertised. (Just paid for itself) Can't wait to try the extractors on a broken screw. I expect them to impress as well. Quality product, two thumbs up!

CANo problem with the ordering process No problem with the ordering process. I had a problem with the time it took to deliver the product. I paid for first class shipping, $15.50 with a posted expectation of 6 to 9 days (February 11 to 14) but never received my package until February 23rd.

AUExcellent Service I had a couple of damaged screw heads after putting items of furniture together with an hex key. The screw extractor items for sale in hardware stores here in Australia did not have very good reviews. I went on YouTube and watched a video of various damaged screw and bolt removal kits being tested. The Alden GrabitPro 4 piece kit 8440P Made in the USA had a good review so I e-mailed Anthony Rallo at TheGrabitStore.com and asked a few questions. Anthony was fantastic and was keen to help and gave me first class professional service. I made the purchase and awaited the kit to arrive by post. After dispatch this took quite a while to reach me in Australia. I haven't been able to use the kit yet so this review is on the service I received from Anthony and I will do another review once I have been able to use the product.

GBReviews were great but didn’t work for me The order process and delivery was fine, but the drill/extractor combos did not. The drill really isn’t a drill (does not ‘dig’ very deep, which limits ability to get extractor end firmly in the shallow drilled opening. Also, after purchasing and looking at videos on extracting bolts, they often recommend ‘tapping’ the extractor into the drilled opening (to get an initial ‘bite’) with a hammer, which would require hammering the drill end. I started with the #3 drill/extractor (no ‘tapping’); the extractor initially ‘bit’, but then chewed up what metal surrounded the opening. I then used the #4 drill/extractor. Drill worked fine but opening was too small to insert the extractor.
