Aldi are doing cheap damaged screw removers from Sunday. Not quite the full easy-out solution but may get you out of trouble here and there.

Insert joke here < > about recovering from a bad screw......

Cheap crap that will break off and cause you more trouble getting the offending article out IMO.

but aldi and lidl 's little bargain things for the bike have come up trumps so far as i can tell...worth a punt at that price

Question is are they made of EVEN cheaper materials than the cheese-like tin most of the Suzuki fixings seem to be made of.

Dunno, but I don't like those type of extractors, and I've got a fairly pricey set of them. I've snapped a few and they are britool ones!

Far better to invest in a set of left-hand fluted drills and a small gas torch IMO.
