Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a screw extractor set and a damaged screw remover?

A.

• The Irwin extractor set includes an extractor tool and multiple drill bits having a left-hand spiral design for extra gripping impact. The extractor tool is ideal for removing broken studs, bolts and socket screws for high-torque applications.
• A damaged screw remover uses a tapered drill bit with reverse threading. The operator can spin the drill bit in the opposite direction to extract the stripped screw or broken bolt from the workpiece.

Q. Can a screw extractor set remove all types of screws?

A. A screw extractor is suitable for various types of screws and bolts, including flat, hex, painted-over or wood & machine screws.

Q. How should I use a screw extractor set?

A.

• Collect the required tools for extraction, including an Irwin 53227 screw extractor set, hammer, centre punch, wrench, thread cutting oil, a drill and safety glasses.
• Align a punch to the centre of the screw and hammer it down lightly, creating an indentation in the centre that guides the drill bit.
• Now take a drill bit that has a smaller diameter than the screw head.
• Add a little thread-cutting oil to the screw head for smooth entry and drill the bit slowly into the screw.
• The screw extractor twists down until it grabs hold of the screw. Keep drilling the screw in reverse until it comes out safely.
