It is a cylinder with teeth at each end. It is turned counter clockwise in a drill and either cuts down just outside the threads, or if the teeth engage the screw, it 'might' turn it out. The one I used seemed to be fairly brittle. Actually I broke the first one I bought at both ends, and broke a few teeth of the one I bought to replace it! (I finally did win!) I think most bigger woodworking stores have these. Regards, Gordon Large, RPT Mt. Vernon, Maine
