Which Bolt And Screw Extractor Brand Wins?

lost grip at only 15 in-lb, worst of the bolt-extractor group in this round, and experienced a lot of damage

lost grip at 55 in-lb, small amount of damage

the extractor broke, with the broken piece left embedded in the screw

lost grip at 70 in-lb, the best result so far at that point in testing, small amount of damage

extractor broke at 128 in-lb after gaining a very strong grip; a piece of the broken extractor stayed stuck in the screw

broke at 133 in-lb, better than Topec's 128 in-lb

struggled to gain a good grip, let go at only 39 in-lb, but held up well with only a small amount of damage

broke at 135 in-lb, moving into the lead over Neiko; extractor left stuck in the screw

broke at 95 in-lb, moving into fourth place behind Topec

did not break; test stopped at 201 in-lb to protect the torque adapter, the best result of all bolt extractors

broke at 91.27 ft lbs

gave up early under 45 ft lbs; no spiral flutes, so performance depended heavily on hammered-in depth

eclipsed Craftsman at over 91 ft lbs before breaking under 110 ft lbs, with extractor pieces flying everywhere

gave up soonest of all extractors tested to that point, under 30 ft lbs, with a lot of damage

lost grip at 124.2 ft lbs, third place, extractor still in very good condition

lost grip at 98.49 ft lbs, extractor still in very good condition

lost grip at 89.49 ft lbs

(135.9), second place behind Coobeast

lost grip at 92.8 ft lbs, minor damage

lost grip at 102.9 ft lbs when the bolt split

broke at 154.8 ft lbs, second place behind Irwin

more than double its grade 3 result

not tested, skipped after breaking on the grade 3 bolt

broke early at 70.53 ft lbs, leaving a broken extractor embedded in the bolt

lost grip at a figure the transcript states as '116.6 in lbs' while every other grade 8 result in this section is given in ft lbs; likely a unit caption error, kept verbatim; moved into second place behind Craftsman

lost grip at just under 68 ft lbs

broke at 197.7 ft lbs, best of all bolt extractors tested on the hard grade 8 bolt

lost grip early at just under 73 ft lbs despite the strong grade 3 result

gave up early at 51.67 ft lbs; the flutes were too soft and became bent when pounded into position

gave up early at just under 95 ft lbs, struggling on hard metal like the other multi-spline extractors

reached only 3 in-lb of torque, far too little to extract a screw; drill bit used up and extractor described as not having an aggressive bite

second place among screw extractors behind Grabit Pro's 115 in-lb

lost grip at 47 in-lb, third place among screw extractors tested that round, drill experienced some wear

drill bit destroyed by a relatively soft screw; screw itself remained in very good condition, extraction failed

gave up very early at only 20 in-lb; drill bit and extractor both badly damaged

reached only 11 in-lb; drill bit and extractor both experienced heavy damage

very brittle, broke on contact with the screw; not enough progress to test the extractor itself

turned into metal dust on contact with the screw, described as super soft

came out on top of all screw extractors at 115 in-lb, drill bit and extractor still in very good condition

reached 67 in-lb before slipping; drill bit leading edge in very bad condition but extractor still in pretty good shape

86 in-lb better than Mata1's 67 in-lb; drill and extractor still in pretty good condition

reached 252 in-lb, moving into the lead for that round; drill bit and extractor still in very good condition

drill bit too soft and dull, destroyed; test skipped

drill bit too soft, gave up at 41 in-lb, not nearly enough to extract a deck screw; drill and extractor both in pretty bad condition

drilled into the bolt fairly well but the extractor only reached 7 in-lb of grip; drill bit used up

drilled the relatively soft bolt easily; extractor performed well at 223 in-lb before losing grip, drill and extractor still in very good condition

still had not improved since a test 4 years earlier per the presenter; drill bit badly damaged

the number 3 drill bit was not properly shaped and could not make enough progress to test the extractor

drill bit struggled badly and experienced a lot of damage; extractor did not offer enough grip to extract the screw

drill bit could not penetrate the screw, described as in very bad condition

did the best job of the round at drilling into the screw, but the extractor still could not gain enough grip to extract it

brand new drill bit turned into metal dust on contact, extraction failed again

drilled slightly better but was destroyed almost immediately; not enough progress for the extractor to gain a grip

made some drilling progress but not enough to be effective; extractor could not gain a good enough grip

broke apart again on contact with the screw, described as definitely too brittle

drill melted on contact with the screw

the only extractor able to successfully extract the screw, and was even able to extract additional screws without first drilling into them
