HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Hole: Use a 3/16" drill bit to carefully drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener. Ensure the hole is centered and deep enough to allow the extractor to bite effectively. Using a left-handed drill bit may help remove the fastener during this step.
2. Insert the Extractor: Place the tip of the Irwin 3/16" Hex Multi-Spline Screw Extractor into the pilot hole. Tap it lightly with a hammer if necessary to ensure it is seated firmly.
3. Turn and Remove: Attach a wrench or socket to the 1/2" hex head of the extractor. Turn the tool slowly and steadily in a counterclockwise direction. The left-hand spiral will thread into the material, creating a tight grip and backing out the broken fastener.
