HOW TO USE:

1. Drill a Pilot Hole: First, use a 5/32" drill bit to drill a hole directly into the center of the broken or damaged fastener. Make sure the hole is straight and deep enough to allow the extractor to get a solid grip.
2. Insert the Extractor: Gently tap the 5/32" Multi-Spline Screw Extractor into the drilled hole with a hammer until it is firmly seated.
3. Attach a Drive Tool: Select a drive tool, such as a wrench or socket, that fits the extractor's 1/2" hex head. Attach the tool to the extractor.
4. Turn to Extract: Turn the drive tool counter-clockwise. The left-hand spiral will begin to bite into the walls of the drilled hole, gripping the fastener firmly and applying the necessary force to unscrew it.
5. Remove the Fastener: Continue to turn the tool until the broken fastener is completely extracted from the workpiece.
