Screw head broke off again? Learn how to get a broken screw out, along with rusted or stripped screws, with special bits, pliers, or a screw extractor tool.

If some of the more DIY methods below don't work, professional contractors use screw extractor sets to remove stripped screws. Extractors are a special style of double-sided drill bit.

Co-owner, Andy Carlson, setup a stripped out screw demo for us. We picked the appropriate sized Speed Out bit based on the instructions and drilled the hole in the screw head.
