Not sure if they will be any good or not.

If the nut is not overtight then it should work, but if it is tight i think you will struggle.

Best extractors i've ever used are the snap-on ones.

They are simply a star shaped rod with a nut that slides up and down. You drill a hole and hammer the rod into the hole, then simply used the nut to undo.

Only problem is getting the rod out afterwards, but i have never had one of these fail one me.
