Recently I picked up an older 1999 Toyota 4runner from my buddy who had bought it new and finally bought a new car. He didn't want the 4runner any more and just gave it to me. I always like it so I thought this will be fun to bring back to like new shape. Truthfully it was really well maintained by my friend. But he had at some point backed into something and dented the left rear bumper corner. So I picked up a used one off of Ebay that I thought was painted the correct color. Well it arrived and I set it aside to wait until a bit warmer weather to remove and replace the damaged piece. After starting the project I learned the paint didn't match. So the drama began. Ordered pain etc. Prepped and painted the thing. Then guess what that color was wrong. So after a call to the paint place they helped me get the right color and shipped me a new batch. Okay part is painted and I finally get it bolted onto the car. Then I am in the final stretch and as I start to attach the wheel well flare piece that is part of the limited 4runner series on these years, I noticed I could not start one of the three fastener bolts? Upon closer inspection, I discovered the original fastener was still in the threaded hole and the head was broken off. Hells bells, now what? So off the part comes and I order a vice grip and some penetrating oil. Those arrive and the bolt is just stuck like it is welded! Mind you the piece isn't rusted. Well from here I tried a small tap and die set I had to no avail. I finally looked up on Youtube and saw you can use left hand drills to remove bolts with sheared off heads. So this was my last ditch effort before ordering a new part and more paint etc. BTW I am into this little repair for now about $180.00 so I am starting to think I should have just paid my deductible and had the insurance fix the little dent. But then this kit arrived. And I thought here goes nothing. Well shocker! I used the smallest bit first and got a good pilot hole started, then went in with the next larger bit. About 2/3 of the way into the bolt the bit caught and turned the rest of the bolt out of the hole. I was ecstatic! Hooray! This is just a great little set of very affordable bits that is a must have for any tool collection.

I had a valve cover blot snap off in my engine block. The ultimate horror. It was well below the surface of the mating surface of the valve cover and so I had no choice but to try to extract it.I saw a few reviews about this product breaking and so I was worried but ordered anyway as it had the highest positive reviews.Well, the kit worked and I got that bolt out. That probably saved me a few grand (shop would’ve charged me a fortune to rescue my engine block).I used a cheap old Harbor Freight Hercules hand drill on its fastest setting with the kit’s smallest left-hand drill bit (about 3mm diameter). I drilled in reverse in 10-second bursts with breaks to ensure that the drill bit didn’t get too hot. I used a mini vac to vacuum up the resulting metal shavings (open engine block ports covered with rags and tape to ensure that nothing got in the engine).Once I got down about half and inch, I semi-gently hammered in the left-hand gripper tool until it bit, and then used an adjustable wrench to slowly turn the broken bolt out, spraying with PB Blaster line as I went.The broken bolt came right out. The whole process took about 30 mins (I went slowly on purpose; because if it went wrong, my engine block would’ve been toast).I am a real human being, not a bot. This product worked for me and it was my first time using. Just use it right and it should get the job done. Saved me a lot of time and money. I hope this review helps someone else out who’s panicking in a bad situation like I was.

Now that I know how they're supposed to be used, I was able to remove a broken valve cover gasket screw that had me stressed out. Going to try with an impact wrench to remove a stuck screw in my motorcycle. I would definitely recommend.

When I tried to use these, they just straight up didn't work. Follow the instructions exactly... no go. I tried to contact the seller to figure out what was up, but I never heard back from them. I ended up setting that project aside for a bit, since I had more important things to focus on. When I returned to it a week or so later, all of the extractors in this kit (which is five pieces, despite the listing saying it's seven) were, somehow, rusted.I tried to contact them again, since by now it was past the return window and the seller claims to offer a four month warranty. Again, never heard back. So now I have a five-piece set of rusted tools than didn't even work when new.Don't waste your money.

My jeep's antenna broke off and the remaining broken bolt was tiny, so I got this kit along with the new antenna from Amazon. I got this particular kit because of the reverse drill bits and very small diameter extractors. Luckily, I only needed the reverse drill bit to get it out. Big Win and saved a few bucks not taking this to the dealer or mechanic, and I still have the kit with many sizes and bits for the next problem.

Bits would just spin and burn off. It will not penetrate.
