Before I found them a stripped out screw was almost a full five minutes of profanity from start to finish. Now I just go looking for the little black and yellow case. Just knowing I have a way out has given me more confidence when screwing them in or out. Doesn't matter now and the size can really suprise you. They have saved the day several times when I thought I was going to be able to get it out. Wish there was some way to get a skinny extension on them to get in the hard places. A little longer scew extractor could just be the difference. I didn't have much patients before I got into this hobby, have learned some but I still have three drills sitting by to power that puppy home, or pull out as quickly as possibe. Hard drilling, no doubt the reason for the high rate of stripping going on in the workplace these days. But hey, if you can unscrew the sob with an extractor. I say what the heck go ahead and strip if you feel like it. I'll come back when your done....
