Cleveland C53656 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Size 6

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C53656 is a Size 6 spiral flute screw extractor designed to remove broken or seized screws in the 3/4 to 1 inch diameter range. Machined from carbon steel, it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed to bite into damaged fastener heads and back them out cleanly. At 3.75 inches overall length, the C53656 provides enough reach and leverage for use in a standard drill chuck or tap wrench. This type of extractor is a standard tool for HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance professionals who regularly encounter stripped or broken fasteners in the field.

The C53656 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where broken screws in flanges, equipment housings, pipe fittings, and structural connections need to be extracted without damaging the surrounding material. The spiral flute design engages the fastener as left-hand rotation is applied, drawing the extractor deeper into the broken screw and increasing grip as torque increases. This makes it effective in cast iron, steel, and other common base materials encountered in mechanical and electrical trade work.

Key Features

• Spiral flute design bites deeper as extraction torque increases, reducing slip-out
• Sized for 3/4 to 1 inch diameter broken or seized screws
• Carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed for damaged fastener extraction
• 3.75 inch overall length fits standard drill chucks and tap wrenches
• EZY-OUT style extractor for reliable left-hand removal action

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-grade screw extractor for use on 3/4 to 1 inch diameter fasteners in standard trade applications.

Installation Notes

Screw extractors are installed by licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics using a drill press, hand drill, or tap wrench set to left-hand rotation. Always drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener before seating the extractor — follow the manufacturer-recommended pilot drill size for Size 6 extractors. Wear appropriate eye protection, as carbon steel extractors can fracture under excessive torque. Do not apply heat to the extractor itself, as this can affect hardness and lead to breakage.
