 Alden Grabit Extractors
I bought this item for a xmas gift for my nephew who works on compressors and always runs into bad screw heads. He thinks this was a great item to have in his tool box and uses it alot.
 Very disappointed!!
I was extracting a bolt whose head had broken off. The burnishing side had almost no impact on the broken bolt. I had to use my own drill bit to create a pilot hole. Then the remover side BROKE almost immediately after applying any pressure. It's a waste of $20. What's worse is that the broken piece prevented me from using ANY extractor, and I must replace the piece I was trying to remove the bolt from. I expected a LOT more for my money.
Worked for me
I picked up one of the Grab-Its from the local DIY warehouse to remove some very stripped bolts from a jointer. I was impressed with the performance, but not with the instructions. From the package I bought, it's not obvious which side of the bit to use first. Also it is critical to run both the "cleanout" and the "extractor" heads in reverse. That was counter intuitive for me and not spelled out very well in the instructions. But with a few attempts, angling the drill side to side until it found a good angle, the Grab-It did work as advertised. I'll certainly use them again.
 Screw removers
Haven't had the need to use them yet, but they look like they will work. They didn't come in a case as shown, just a thick, clear plastic bag.
Cheap
Very cheap metal, high strength steel would have been better, first time I used it the extractor side broke because it is made of cheap metal!
