Century Drill Tool 73206 Sq Flute Screw Extractor Size 6 3pk

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 73206 is a No. 6 square flute screw extractor designed to remove broken bolts, screws, and pipe fittings that have snapped off flush or below the surface of a fastening hole. The square flute design grips as it turns, biting into the broken fastener without spreading thin-wall material. This extractor removes bolts and screws up to 3/4 inches in diameter and is sized for 1/2-inch pipe. A 15/32-inch left-hand cobalt drill bit is recommended for pilot hole drilling before extraction. Sold in a pack of 3.

This extractor is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals who regularly encounter broken fasteners during service calls and installations. The square flute geometry makes it especially effective in thin-wall extraction scenarios where tapered or spiral extractors risk cracking or distorting the surrounding material. Typical applications include removing sheared machine bolts, broken pipe nipples, and snapped screws in metal and plastic assemblies.

Installation Notes

Power down any equipment and isolate the work area before attempting fastener extraction. Drill the pilot hole to the correct depth using a 15/32-inch left-hand cobalt bit before inserting the extractor. Apply steady, even torque with a tap wrench or appropriate driver to avoid snapping the extractor in the hole. Follow applicable trade codes and wear appropriate PPE when working with broken fasteners in pressurized or energized systems.
