Irwin 10-Piece 1/8"-13/32" Hex Head Multi-Spline Extractor Set (53226)

The Irwin 10-Piece 1/8"-13/32" Hex Head Multi-Spline Extractor Set (53226) is a specialized toolkit crafted for the effective removal of broken screws, studs, and bolts. This professional-grade set is an essential addition to any toolbox for automotive repair, construction projects, or general maintenance. Each piece is engineered from high-carbon steel, providing the necessary strength and resilience to tackle challenging extraction tasks. The tools are designed with a hex head for compatibility with a socket or wrench, allowing you to apply significant torque without slippage. The multi-spline and aggressive left-hand spiral design ensures a secure grip on the broken fastener, preventing further damage and making the extraction process smooth and efficient.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Secure Multi-Spline Grip: The unique multi-spline design bites into the sides of a drilled-out fastener, ensuring a strong, non-slip grip that is crucial for removing broken bolts and screws without rounding them out.
• High-Torque Performance: Equipped with a hex head, each extractor can be used with a standard socket or wrench. This design enables the application of high torque, making it possible to remove even the most stubborn or deeply embedded fasteners.
• High-Carbon Steel Construction: Made from high-carbon steel, these tools are built for durability and strength. This material choice ensures that the extractors will not easily break or deform under the stress of high-torque applications.
• Wide Size Range: With 10 different extractors ranging from 1/8" to 13/32", this set provides a comprehensive solution for various fastener sizes, offering versatility for a wide range of tasks.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Model Number: 53226
• Pieces: 10
• Extractor Sizes: 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8", 13/32"
• Material: High-carbon steel
• Drive Type: Hex head

HOW TO USE:

1. Drill a Pilot Hole: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the extractor, drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener. The depth of the hole should be sufficient for the extractor to grip securely.
2. Select the Extractor: Choose the multi-spline extractor that fits snugly into the pilot hole you drilled. The size is often marked on the tool for easy identification.
3. Insert the Extractor: Gently tap the extractor into the pilot hole with a hammer until it is firmly seated. The multi-spline design will engage with the walls of the hole.
4. Turn to Remove: Use a wrench or socket to turn the extractor counter-clockwise. The left-hand spiral of the tool will bite into the fastener, causing it to turn and unscrew from its place.
