Cleveland C53662 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Size 12

Product Description

The CLEVELAND C53662 is a Size 12 spiral flute screw extractor designed to remove broken or seized screws in the 3 to 3-1/2 inch diameter range. Also known as an EZY-OUT style extractor, this tool bites into the fastener as reverse torque is applied, drawing the broken piece out without damaging the surrounding material. Constructed from carbon steel for durability under high-torque conditions, the C53662 measures 6-1/4 inches in overall length, giving technicians adequate reach in deep-bore applications. It is installed and used by machinists, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals working with large-diameter fasteners.

This extractor is suited for use on large broken screws, bolts, and studs encountered in heavy mechanical, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications. The spiral flute design works in conjunction with a tap wrench or similar turning tool to grip and extract fasteners that have snapped flush or below a surface. It is appropriate for use in both shop and field service environments where large fastener removal is required.

Key Features

• Size 12 extractor rated for 3 to 3-1/2 inch diameter screws and fasteners
• Spiral flute geometry increases grip as reverse torque is applied
• Carbon steel construction provides strength under high extraction force
• 6-1/4 inch overall length allows reach in deeper bores
• EZY-OUT style design compatible with standard tap wrenches and turning tools

Compatibility

Designed for extraction of broken or seized screws and bolts in the 3 to 3-1/2 inch diameter range. Suitable for use with standard tap wrenches and appropriately sized drill bits required to prepare the fastener bore prior to extraction.

Installation Notes

Power down any equipment and secure the workpiece before attempting fastener extraction. Drill a pilot hole into the center of the broken fastener using the appropriate bit size before inserting the extractor. Apply steady reverse torque using a tap wrench — avoid impact tools, as excessive force can cause the extractor to snap inside the bore. This tool should be handled by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with broken fastener removal procedures.
