It removes bolts or screws sized at 7\/16 inches and pipe sized at 1\/8 inches. The square flute design is engineered for thin-wall extractions, gripping the broken fastener as it turns without spreading or cracking the wall of the hole. A 15\/64-inch left-hand cobalt drill bit is recommended for the pilot hole. This tool is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals whenever a fastener breaks flush or below the surface of a workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 73203 is suited for service and repair work across residential and commercial applications where broken fasteners are common — including pipe fittings, equipment housings, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies. Its compact design makes it practical for tight-access areas. The left-hand drill bit recommendation means the pilot drilling action itself may back out the broken fastener before extraction is even needed, saving time on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare flute design grips broken fasteners without spreading thin walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoves bolts and screws sized at 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoves pipe sized at 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires 15\/64-inch pilot hole — left-hand cobalt drill bit recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for thin-wall extraction applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece extractor — sold individually (unit of measure: EA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on broken bolts or screws at 7\/16 inches and broken pipe fittings at 1\/8 inches; fits standard tap wrench or extraction handle sized for a No. 3 extractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by trade professionals or experienced DIYers using a tap wrench or T-handle. Before extraction, ensure the workpiece is secured and the area is de-energized or depressurized as required by the application. Drill the pilot hole to 15\/64 inches using a left-hand cobalt bit — left-hand rotation during drilling may remove the fastener without needing the extractor. Insert the extractor into the pilot hole and turn counterclockwise with steady, controlled pressure to avoid snapping the extractor in the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtractor Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt\/Screw Removal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Removal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Drill Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Drill Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left-hand cobalt drill bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 73203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CENTURY DRILL \u0026 TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563930321202,"sku":"73203","price":21.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bd5bb0fafed93e0879aaf218c3b30269_1c861a55-35ee-4137-bd0f-851b05e43f52.jpg?v=1786507072","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/century-drill-tool-co-inc-73203-no-3-screw-extractor","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
