Irwin Hanson 52402 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Size 2

Product Description

The IRWIN HANSON 52402 is a Size 2 spiral flute screw extractor designed to remove broken, stripped, or seized screws from metal and other materials. The spiral flute design bites into the damaged fastener as reverse torque is applied, gripping tighter as extraction force increases. This extractor handles screws in the 5/32 to 7/32 inch diameter range, covering metric M4 to M6 and imperial number 6 through number 12 fastener sizes. It is a standard single-piece unit sold individually. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics reach for this tool when a fastener head has been rounded off or the shank has snapped flush with the work surface.

This extractor is suited for general maintenance, repair, and installation work across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades. Any job requiring removal of a fastener in the Size 2 diameter range is a direct application. The tool is appropriate for both shop and field use where a reversible drill driver or standard drill press is available to seat the extractor before extraction.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or experienced tradesperson should power down all equipment before attempting fastener extraction near energized components. Use a center punch to mark the fastener, then drill a pilot hole with a left-hand drill bit before seating the extractor. Apply steady, even reverse torque - avoid impact drivers, which can shatter hardened extractors. Follow applicable trade safety standards for the specific system being serviced.
