Broken screw removal tool

[Markymilarky]

Hi Chaps.
I don't get out much, and I'm just wondering if everyone uses the same method as me for removing screws that have a damaged head or are snapped off flush in wood.
I get cordless drill, open chuck a bit bigger than the screw size, place the chuck over the screw shaft, push hard on the back of the drill so the chuck bites into the wood and the presss the trigger with one hand on the chuck. so as it turnes it bites into the screw shaft. once it's tight just reverse the drill and the screw comes out.
Just thinking someones bound to say, youll bu66er your chuck. but I've done this loads of times over the years and never had a chuck problem.
cheers Chaps .... mark

interesting idea, ok if you have enough room to get in there. i have used a trend x-out, which was expensive and there are cheaper versions, but it did get me out of a few tricky situations.I use an impact driver which gets screws out in extreme conditions no sweat, paid for itself over and over again...hope this helps
