They work, but they're not quite so "EZ" as the ads make them sound.
I agree. They are called screw extractors. You can also buy a single extractor at Home Depot if you know the correct size. You drill a hole into the screw head and then use a hammer to tap the extractor into the hole. Then, you use pliers or a wrench to manually unscrew the screw.
