I bought these screw extractors from Screwfix last week as they had good reviews. However, they've been absolute gash so I'm returning them.

I do have these but I can't find them so I'll need to buy another set.

Has anyone had any good results with some?

Screw extractors
I bought those Erbauer ones again. You watch I'll find my old set tomorrow
I needed them to remove the screws from my licence plate lights. Both sets of screws completely trashed. They were held in by u clips which I had to break to get the screws out one so I've order a set of u clips from eurocarparts on Monday.
My MOT is due soon so it needed to get done. A full day spent changing bulbs ffs.

Screw extractors
Never trusted screw extractors - too afraid of snapping them and making the job even worse.
My usual method is drill-chisel-re-thread and it's never failed me so far! But I have a doozy of a 'thread removal' job coming up - I have two diesel glow plugs that snapped off at the cylinder head and have to come out - dropping the bits in the cylinder is a definite no-no.....

Don't take it personally......
