GRABIT SCREW EXTRACTOR PROFESSIONAL
As one of the largest and longest established independent tool retailers in the UK we supply professional power tools, hand tools, machinery and accessories. We still think the Grabit is a tool everyone must have in their tool arsenol.D&M Tools are passionate about tools. We first started using the Grabit on 2/1/11 and have taken out about 30 screws. Long Term Note – Today 2/19/11 we were using the Dewalt 12V Max screwdriver and ended up breaking one of the Grabit tips.
Most importantly it will save you a lot of frustration and aggravation, which you can save up for this year when the cubs let us down again. While there were a couple times we couldn’t get the screw out, which was more due to user error, the screw extractor worked great. Very easy to work with and great results. As you can see the Grabit system didn’t take long before we were able to extract the screw and get onto the next screw. We then stripped the heck out of the heads. For the video we drove a couple 3″ screws into some wood.
GRABIT SCREW EXTRACTOR PRO
We made a small little video below, so you can see the Grabit Pro in action. There were a couple of times it didn’t work, such as when we drilled down too far and the head of the screw broke off, but we are going to chalk that up to user error. We probably found about twenty different screws and bolts we could actually test it on. We used the Grabit it on a lot of bolts and screws and each time it performed perfect. We headed back to the marina to find some good screws and bolts we could test the system on. You can also use this on bolts sizes 10 – 5/16″ which is 5mm – 10 mm. A user can not only use these on a cheap soft screws, but it will work up to grade 8 or 19.9 fasteners. You can use it on damaged screws such as Phillips, torxs, square drives, plastic or metal screws up to 3″. What we like best is that they are made right here in the good old USA. In order to make sure the Grabit system doesn’t wear out first, Alden uses a system where the metal is tempered twice for extra hardness. Since you are using this system metal on metal, one of them will have to give. The bits are self centering, so you don’t get any walking or wondering. This set comes with three screws and bolt extractors. We started to hear about the Grabit Pro, so we went to our local big box store and bought the Alden Grabit Pro set model number 8430P. Just remember you are extracting a screw, so make sure your drill is in reverse when you use the system. The bit actually sits in the first hole and grips the side of the screw to extract it. Then the user flips the bit over and drills the screw out. First a user will use one side of the bit to drill a shallow hole into the head of the screw or bolt. If you are not familiar with Grabit or a screw extractor system, the Grabit is a two step process.
The Grabit can save you a lot of time, but most importantly, it saves you a lot of frustration.
Well let us introduce the Grabit Pro by Alden. While some people deal with broken pencils, we deal with stripped screws and bolts. No matter how good you are, there are times you will strip a screw, it is just the way the world is. How many times have you ever tightened a screw, only to realize you went too far and stripped the screw? How many times have you tried to loosen a screw only to find that it was rusty and you stripped it? How many times, ok we will shut up, you get the point.
