From personal experience it is never that simple.

I've never managed to successfully remove a broken bolt/screw with one, unless it wasn't very tight to start with.

I make a fair amount of money removing broken bolts that have broken extractors like that.

I have, but seem to break one of those extractors for each screw I remove. I found left-hand drill bits much more effective. Though I've broken more than one of those, as well.
