Yeah, hard to tell with China. Sometimes you get reasonable quality and other times it's just rubbish.

Geez you guys are making this sound hard. This happens with engines all the time. Take a small drill bit and drill right down the middle. After it cools it usually winds right out just by jamming something squarish in the small hole (tiny screw driver). Also, as above, the other is to drill it till the head pops off.
Take it easy and slow. It should unwind with just your fingers once the jaw is removed.

The Grabit bits are available in OZ - it seems Sutton Tools is the distributor
They are listed on the Bunnings website - though i cant say i have seen them in store (though werent looking for them either) http://www.bunnings.com.au/extractor...g8520_p6360085
They are also available from Blackwoods who offer a wider range of kits incorporating different size bits. Can be ordered through http://www.blackwoods.com.au for delivery or pickup in store (Though Tamworth looks like your closest store)

smiife, you should be able to buy screw extracyors at most engineering hardware outlets. I would be surprised if they were not available at the large DIY outlets. I have bought them in the past at the local suburban industrial supply store here in SE Melbourne.
They are usually very effective.

You may need a "good" screw extractor if you buy one. The screws on most of my Nova's are 12.9 hardness but a couple are 10.9. The extractor will need to able to cut (bite into) these harder screws not a normal screw or bolt.

Smiffie my tame metal working mate and I were talking and he mentioned extracting screws with left hand drill bit by having it catch instead of drilling with cordless drill.
thought it was a joke at first too. But it can work in some applications.

.............. What Evanism said ! ..................
Forget all this stuff about Grabit's, EasyOuts and other screw extractor tools. They're not needed in this case. And anyway, I'm not sure you'd get a screw extractor small enough to do this job anyway, as the screws that hold the jaws on a Teknatool Chuck measure only 5.5 mm diameter across the threads.
After you've drilled the screw head off, you'll only have about 1 to 2 mm of thread left poking out, but (unless the screw thread is crossed or otherwise bound up) you should still be able to use your fingers to unscrew the remains of the screw.
