Customer Reviews
Grabit Pro- Needed in all tool kits!
Using the Pro Grabit couldn't be easier. I stripped normal sized screws when installing floorboards and digging them out would have caused a lot of damage. Using the Pro Grabit as instructed I was able to quickly and easily remove even screws that I had stripped to a round hole!
I think the other reviewer should have bought the 4 piece kit since it has the largest Grabit (No 10 or 3/8) and would have taken care of his problem. I have also used the 4 piece (which is the same as the 3 piece but with the extra largest size Grabit bit). Same Made in the USA craftsmanship and nice little case to keep them all together.
Overall a perfect item to have around when you get a caught with a stripped screw or bolt. I'd recommend having one in every handyman's toolkit.
Grabit works, but...
I used the Pro Grabit to remove 2 1/2" screws that have secured my deck for 20 years and have been intractable for many years. It worked well for a several screws, but then the extractors broke. Reading the warnings in the detailed instructions, I find: "Tool can be compromised if extracting large screws exceeding 2 inches in length and/or have aggressive threads".
Grabit performed poorly on deck screws!
I am removing deck screws from my decking... they are 2 1/2 screws and a few of them stripped the phillips head when I was removing them. I worked with this tool for over an hour and only was able to remove one screw. And then I burned up the "easy-out" end of the tool. I was using the middle sized tool, since my screw size is #8. The boring end of the tool acted like it was dull and did not want to drill into the screw head... and the lack of depth was likely the reason it didn't work. After the middle size was totaled, I tried the small size... it bored in easily, but the tool was too small to work on such a large screw. I feel I wasted $20 and a lot of my time ordering and testing it.
