Century Drill Tool 73415 Spiral Screw Extractor Set 5 Piece

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 73415 is a 5-piece spiral screw extractor set engineered for removing fasteners from softer materials and thin-walled workpieces such as pipes and fittings. Unlike tapered-style extractors, the spiral flute design removes broken or seized screws and bolts without expanding the surrounding material, reducing the risk of splitting or cracking fragile workpieces. The set handles both left-hand and right-hand threaded fasteners, making it a versatile addition to any plumber's, pipefitter's, or HVAC tech's service kit. Includes extractors sized 1 through 5 to cover a range of fastener diameters.

This set is suited for residential and light commercial service work where broken fasteners must be removed from thin-wall tubing, pipe fittings, or soft-metal components. The spiral extraction method is preferred in these applications because it grips the damaged fastener as it is turned out, rather than wedging against the bore walls. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians dealing with corroded or sheared fittings will find this set useful for routine service calls and repair jobs.

Key Features

• 5-piece set includes extractors 1 through 5 for a range of fastener sizes
• Spiral flute design does not expand material during extraction, protecting thin-wall pipes and fittings
• Removes both left-hand and right-hand threaded fasteners
• Designed for softer materials where tapered extractors risk cracking or splitting the workpiece
• Compact set format for portability on service calls

Compatibility

Designed for use with broken or seized screws and bolts in softer base materials, including thin-walled pipes and fittings commonly found in plumbing, HVAC, and light mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Spiral screw extractors are typically used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians during repair and replacement work. Before extraction, center-punch the broken fastener and drill a pilot hole to the correct diameter for the extractor size being used. Ensure the workpiece is secured and the surrounding material is supported to prevent further damage. Use a tap wrench or appropriate driver to turn the extractor counterclockwise into the broken fastener.
