The Irwin Hanson 5-Piece Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Set (53535) is a high-performance tool designed for the safe and efficient removal of broken studs, bolts, socket screws, and fittings. Engineered for use in maintenance and repair applications, this set provides a reliable solution for stubborn and damaged fasteners. Its unique spiral flute design ensures a secure, self-embedding grip on harder metals, while the left-hand spiral provides extra gripping power. The extractors are clearly etched with their size and the recommended drill bit size, simplifying the process of selecting the right tool for the job. This set is an essential addition to any toolbox, providing a professional and effective method for removing broken fasteners without causing further damage.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Self-Embedding Spiral Flute Design: The aggressive left-hand spiral flutes are engineered to embed themselves deeper into the broken fastener as you turn, ensuring a stronger grip and more secure extraction. As the resistance of the fastener increases, the extractor’s grip also increases, providing a reliable and secure hold for successful removal.
- Versatile Sizing: This 5-piece set includes extractors (EX-1 to EX-5) that are suitable for a wide range of broken fasteners, covering sizes from 3/32″ to 5/8″. This broad compatibility makes it a go-to tool for a variety of repair tasks, from small screws to larger bolts.
- Clear Tool Identification: Each screw extractor is permanently etched with its size and the corresponding recommended drill bit size. This feature eliminates guesswork and ensures that you select the correct tool and preparation for the task, saving time and preventing errors during the extraction process.
- Designed for Durability: Made from materials suitable for use on harder metals, this set is built for long-term performance in demanding repair environments. Its construction ensures that it can withstand the torque and force required to remove even the most difficult broken fasteners.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Set Pieces: 5
- Extractor Sizes: EX-1, EX-2, EX-3, EX-4, EX-5
- Fastener Size Range: 3/32″ to 5/8″
- Included in Set: EX-1, EX-2, EX-3, EX-4, and EX-5 spiral flute screw extractors in a pouch.
HOW TO USE:
- Drill a Pilot Hole: Using the recommended drill bit size (etched on the extractor), drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener. A left-handed drill bit is recommended.
- Select the Extractor: Choose the appropriate extractor from the set (EX-1 to EX-5) based on the size of the pilot hole and the fastener.
- Insert the Extractor: Gently tap the extractor into the drilled hole with a hammer to ensure it is seated firmly.
- Turn Counter-Clockwise: Attach a tap wrench or a wrench to the extractor and slowly turn it counter-clockwise. The spiral flutes will bite into the metal, and the fastener should begin to turn and unscrew.
- Remove the Fastener: Continue to turn the extractor until the broken fastener is completely removed.
