Will this be able to remove a 4mm diameter screw which the head has broken off of?

If you are able to get the pilot to drill the center of the shaft, likely. It will be a difficult extraction. If what is left of the shaft is not a flat surface, I would use a drill press to set a center point to drill the pilot with the grabit. Regardless of all this, every handyman needs this tool in their arsenal, save much time and headache

I think it should. I removed a 5mm with it no problem, but there was still a little bit of the head left.

If it is in wood no head and flat maybe, if there is a little bit of screw sticking out use vice grips. If it is in metal and rusty would drill and use old style EZ out and rust bust. But have used Alden 8440P and would not want to be without them, these are my go to first.

You might also want to check out the Grabit Micro kit Alden 4507P Micro Grabit Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece Kit as it has the smallest screw removers made.

Once you've extracted the rusty metal ones, may I kindly suggest nylon license plate bolts.

This company also makes a "micro line" for teeny tiny screws/bolts, and they work just as well, they sell them on Amazon:Alden 4507P Micro Grabit Broken Bolt Extractor 4 Piece KitThose "bits" are pretty small, so should tackle the "itty bitty" screws and bolts just like it's big brother does with the larger variety........

I'm not sure. I tried to change the cd/DVD drive and the little phillips head was to small. I would've stripped my screw if I kept using it.

I just tried to use them to remove some 1/4-20 stainless flat head screws that were corroded into a piece of aluminum. The #2 tool, which is spec'd for 1/4" fasteners, broke with very little effort. Since the heads were big enough, I then tried to use the #4 tool, which is supposedly strong enough to remove 3/8" fasteners, and it broke too. I don't expect miracles from these tools but I do expect that they would strip the fastener head before breaking themselves. I consider this a design flaw and would not recommend them for really tough jobs.

Well mine also broke when my wife used it on a heavy duty screw. I would suggest you limit its usage on it capacity.

Not exactly sure about the largest bit this tool will accept (maybe about 3/4").You will probably need to check on a much larger tool.

Yes. It's attached to it, and to remove it you would need to unscrew a couple pieces.

It can be but it doesn't work like a typical screw on head. There's a screw on the side of the head that holds it in place and allows it to rotate completely around. If you remove this screw you would be able to take the head off but you wouldn't be able to put a new head on if it has threads. I wouldn't recommend this piece. Also if you're just looking for an arm, you can find those sold stand alone.

Yes, you can unscrew the head and mount any standard head to it. I don't remember the bolt/thread size, but it is standard.

Yes, pretty easily. It's just a total of 8 phillips head screws. However, I'm not sure if you'd be able to reattach them as they are screwed directly into wood. So the threading may not be any good after removal.

hmmmm. possible. depends how strong you are and what tools you have. it wouldn't be super easy. and why would you need to remove it?

I haven't removed them. They are a star-pattern hole on each side (6-point star). You might be able to use an allan wrench, but I'm afraid it may strip the screws. With the correct tool, the head should be removable very easily.

1&7/8" I'm not sure about removal, the bit has a 6 sided shoulder at the socket which would lead you to believe It might be able to be removed with a boxend wrench and the socket wrench.

As long as you can grip the head of the screw I don't see why it wouldn't work.
1097624
Yes. If you don't sink the screw far enough and break it off, some of the shank will still be sticking up and will poke you. I had a few do this and had to use pliers to back the screw out. Have a few extra screws on hand to replace the ones you remove because this will happen, no matter how careful you are.

Yes you can. Actually, it comes with a screw and you can unscrew it if you want.Thanks!!!!

If you choose the right one for your screw, I believe you can Remove any. I have no problems until now, but only had 2 hard ones, choose the driver wisely, keep pressure dawn to the screw and slowly turn.. Voilá!!

I don't see any reason that this could not be used. It only entails removing current head and adding the handheld one.
