Irwin 6-pc Extractor & HSS Drill Bit Set in Vinyl Pouch (53700)

The Irwin 6-pc Extractor & HSS Drill Bit Set in Vinyl Pouch (53700) is engineered to provide a reliable solution for removing broken studs, bolts, socket screws, and other fasteners. Its primary function is to save you time and prevent the headache of dealing with damaged hardware. The set includes three spiral flute screw extractors, each with an aggressive left-hand spiral design that embeds itself deeper into the metal as you turn. This increases grip and ensures the broken fastener is backed out cleanly. The kit also comes with three high-speed steel (HSS) drill bits, perfectly sized to create the initial pilot hole needed for the extractors to work effectively. All components are clearly marked, making it simple to choose the right tool for the job. Stored in a compact vinyl pouch, this set is easy to carry and keeps your tools organized and protected. It's an indispensable tool for anyone working on automotive, plumbing, or home repair projects, offering a professional solution to a common and frustrating problem.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• The induction-hardened cutting edges stay sharp longer, providing consistent and clean cuts.
• The precision-machined jaws provide maximum gripping strength, preventing slippage when twisting or pulling wires.
• The multi-material ProTouch grips are ergonomically designed to reduce hand strain and increase comfort, especially during extended use.
• Constructed from durable nickel chromium steel, these pliers are built to last and withstand the toughest job site conditions.
• The high-leverage design makes cutting and twisting tasks easier, requiring less force from the user.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Set Components: 3 Spiral Flute Screw Extractors (EX-1, EX-2, EX-3), 3 HSS Drill Bits (5/64 in., 7/64 in., 5/32 in.)
• Included in Product: A vinyl pouch for storage and organization.

HOW TO USE:

1. Drill the Pilot Hole: Select the appropriate HSS drill bit based on the size of the broken fastener. Use the drill bit to create a pilot hole in the center of the broken stud or screw. It's crucial to drill deep enough for the extractor to get a secure grip.
2. Insert the Extractor: Lightly tap the corresponding spiral flute extractor into the drilled pilot hole with a hammer. The aggressive left-hand spiral will begin to bite into the metal.
3. Turn to Remove: Use a tap wrench, pliers, or another suitable turning tool to rotate the extractor counter-clockwise. The left-hand spiral will dig deeper and apply pressure, backing the broken fastener out smoothly.
