Value Collection 312-8920 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 312-8920 is a 5-piece spiral flute screw extractor set designed to remove broken, stripped, or seized screws and fasteners. Each extractor uses a left-hand spiral flute design that bites into the damaged fastener as the tool is turned counterclockwise, drawing the fastener out of the workpiece. The set covers a screw size range of 3/16 inch through 3/4 inch, making it useful across a wide variety of fastener sizes encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work. The complete set weighs 0.26 pounds.

This extractor set is suited for residential and light commercial service work where broken or stripped fasteners are a common obstacle. Technicians use these tools when a screw head has been damaged beyond the point where a standard driver can engage, or when a fastener has sheared flush with the surface. The set includes extractors sized 1 through 5, collectively handling the most common screw diameters found in equipment access panels, pipe fittings, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Spiral flute screw extractors are typically used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanics. Before use, center-punch the broken fastener to prevent the drill bit from walking, then drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the extractor being used. Use a tap wrench or locking pliers to turn the extractor counterclockwise with steady pressure — avoid impact drivers, which can snap the extractor. Always wear eye protection when drilling into broken fasteners.
