Try T&L Screw Extractor

They are tubular screw extractors. They're sized slightly smaller in ID

than
the screw shank. They grasp the shank firmly and back it out.
There are others on the market which are a thin-wall hole saw, intended to

cut
through the wood around the screw. They're brittle and sometimes shatter

and
leave a larger hole. Woodcraft Supply has 'em.

Does anyone know of a source for these?

I occasinally snap the head off a screw and need something to back them

out
of the wood without carving a huge hole out for pliers. I would imagine

what
I need is something that's kind of a mirror image of the Craftsmen screw
removers... I need something with a concave cutting "dimple" that would

fit
over the end of a screw shaft and bite into it, allowing me to back it

out.
