Doesn't sound like Harolds tried the Micro screw extractors made by Alden before. There are people out there that still use an axe to chop down a tree. Until they try a chainsaw they will always think the axe is the best way. I've tried several methods of getting these little screws out. The dremel ranks high on my list but it doesn't touch the micro screw extractor as far as ease and success rate. Now that is just based on my expereice using the serveral different method includeing the dremel and other screw extractor set. Gentelmen, I have stopped looked for a better method or tool for extracting the small screws we deal with.

I've also used and axe, bowsaw, and a chainsaw to cut down trees. If your curious as to which method I found of those to be the easiest. Let me know.

I've used many extractors, but maybe not the particular brand you have? Extractors have always been hit or miss for me, and dremels have always worked.

I should say though I'm a basher and never mind hitting a chassis or whatever with the dremel. If your trying to keep stuff looking new extractors are the first thing to try.

Funnest way I've found to take out trees is to drive over 'em. I used to love finding patches of young willows in the river bottoms and making a trail through them.
