Cleveland C53654 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Size 4

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C53654 is a Size 4 spiral flute screw extractor designed to remove broken or seized screws with shank diameters from 7/16 to 9/16 inches. The spiral flute design bites into the damaged fastener as reverse torque is applied, gripping the material and backing the screw out without damaging the surrounding workpiece. Manufactured from carbon steel, the C53654 measures 2-7/8 inches in overall length. This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance trades whenever a fastener head has stripped, broken flush, or snapped below the surface.

The C53654 is suited for field and shop use where broken fasteners are encountered in metal, wood, or composite materials. It performs in residential and light commercial service applications. At Size 4, it handles the mid-range fastener diameters common in mechanical equipment housings, access panels, and structural connections. It is sold individually and is ready to use with a standard tap wrench or locking pliers that accept the square drive shank.

Installation Notes

Before using a screw extractor, power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any system pressure as required by the application. Drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener using the appropriate bit size before inserting the extractor. Apply steady, controlled reverse torque — avoid impact tools, which can snap the extractor. Disposal of broken extractors embedded in a workpiece may require professional EDM or machining services, so use the correct size and proceed carefully.
