Most of these tools are just a gimmick. Next time make a slurry with
Commet, or a scrubbing cleanser like it and paste that into the screw head.
Place as much downward pressure as you can manage, and if the screw head
hasn't already been completely rounded, it will come out. Works like a
champ 99% of the time as long as there is something left for the slurry and
screw driver to bite into.

Folks: I'm posting this to all these groups cause even
though it may sound off topic, it's really not, cause MANY ppl have to
deal with
rusted bolts, screws. etc. Any of us who have even done any mechanic work
know
what a life saver an Ez Out can be at times. So, I started seeing
commercial lately for these tools that will extract stripped screws
instead. It
looked like magic on TV (like always) LOL... I got a set of three tools,
to
remove screws sized 1, sized 2, and sized 3. One end has a left handed
drill bit
thingy to ream out the hole. Them, the other end has a square, or
rectangular
"bit" that removes the stripped out screw. My son bought himself an old
Dodge
Ram 50 pickup, and the carburetor was flooding BAD and I needed to
rebuild it,
but it was like the screws were welded into place LOL.. What I ended up
doing
was to take my old trusty dremal tool, put in a 1" cutting wheel, and cut
out as
"slot" all the way across the head of the screws thus turning a Phillips
head
into huge flat head. It worked and I was able to remove EVERY screw.
So, if you are need of something like, save your money and
buy the dremal tool cut off wheels instead. NOW.. Since the carb is in 100
pieces, whether I get it all back together is anybody's bet LOL.. The
rebuilt
kit is supposed to be in Wednesday.If you hear LOUD cursing, that's just
me down
here in Bama, trying to get it back together LOL, Chuck
