Rescue Bit Broken Screw Extractor Removal Tool 1/4"

Spendy but works. Removed broken tap from exhaust manifold. Just get it! Saved me thousands.

I was in serious need of rescue and fast! I had a wheel lug strip at the neck where it meets the wheel hub and the lug/lug nut just spun in place. This has happened to me before and luckily I already had good drill bits from the last time. Or so I thought… I broke not one but 2 titanium drill bits off in the lug, approximately 1/3” deep. I couldn’t work around the 2 spots due to the tight space within the lug nut so in desperation I searched the web for a possible answer and the rescue bit popped up several times. I received it in the mail and was anxious to see if it’ll help so I loaded the rescue bit in my corded high speed drill and went in. I was pleasantly surprised to see the fine metal powder collecting on the floor after just seconds of using it. After some time I felt perhaps the bit plateaued and wouldn’t cut anymore and thought perhaps it couldn’t get passed the broken titanium bits but then I remembered there’s a fresh cutting surface on the opposite side of the bit. After switching it I went back to it and the lug nut came off in minutes! Couldn’t be happier with tool because it really saved the day. Ok maybe just one request in the spirit of improving the design… if only the bit was a bit longer, perhaps just half inch, that would have helped even more. Other than that, money well spent for sure because it saved me money in the long run.

The price sucks but it did exactly what I needed. It was able to tear through a broken extractor and the remaining bolt. I would buy again.

Had two broken extractors in head bolts. Couldn't get it with a dremel. The bit would chatter once the compressor dropped below 120 psi. Had to run it high speed in a drill press with medium pressure until the extractor got hot and the bit went right through. At this point use very light pressure. Only take about an 1/8" to 1/4" of material at a time and let it cool down or it will be too aggressive and snap the bit. But it worked!!

I can see it working. But it didn’t. Ended up having to extract the broken metal a different way.

I had three head bolts broken off in the block of an old motor. One I was able to get out with an entire set of left-handed drills. The other two were literally eaten alive by the Rescue Bit.Follow the instructions, go slow with a corded drill and keep it straight and you will not be disappointed. The worst bolt had a broken drill bit down inside it. It took a while for the rescue bit to get through the drill bit but once it did, the rest of the bolt was disintegrated by the bit. I'm still amazed!!!I cannot believe I paid $72 for a single small tool like this but it is definitely worth the investment. I plan on buying the other two sizes!

Taking a cylinder bolt off a top cover for a Banshee motor and the bolt snapped. So I used my American made bolt extractor tool and that snapped. I thought I had to spend $400+ on a new case half but this cost $70 and to me, was worth the shot. I’m glad I tried it out. Dremel tool didn’t touch it. This ate through it in 5 minutes or less. Used it in my M12 fuel drill at high speed and cleaned the shavings out regularly.If you’re stuck and need to try something, give this a shot!

I am a mechanic. Broken many bolts. I had a 3/8 bolt brake off in a cylinder head. Ended up getting a bit broken deep inside the bolt, tried to use a Snap-on easy-out and a torch to get the bolt out but ended up also breaking the easy-out off in the bolt (awesome). I spent$40 on bits that didn't touch the easy-out. I bought this bit in desperation. Instructions said to call Mike before using, so I did. I followed his instructions, it took a little time but went right through it. I was able to re-use original threads after it was all said and done. Totally worth the cash! Mike couldn't of been more helpful. Only needed one end of it, didn't damage bit. It can totally be used again. I recommend this bit to anyone that is in the situation I was in.
