IRWIN 6-Piece Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Set (EX-1 to EX-6) – Left-Hand Grip

Overview

The IRWIN HANSON Spiral Flute Screw Extractor Set is built to tackle broken fasteners with confidence. Six extractors, from EX-1 to EX-6, cover a range of sizes and scenarios. The aggressive left-hand spiral design provides extra gripping power as you turn, and the flutes bite deeper into metal as resistance rises. Each tool is clearly marked with its size and the recommended drill bit size, helping you match the right extractor to the job at a glance.

How it works

When a fastener breaks, the extractor’s left-hand spiral engages and bites into the damaged threads as you rotate. As you push and turn, the grip increases with resistance, giving you a better chance to back out the fastener without damaging surrounding material.

What’s included

• EX-1, EX-2, EX-3, EX-4, EX-5, EX-6 extractors for a versatile size range
• Size etched on each tool for quick identification on busy job sites
• Designed to remove broken studs, bolts, socket screws and fittings

Key benefits at a glance

• Aggressive left-hand spiral for extra gripping power as you turn
• Spiral flutes embed deeper into metal when resistance rises
• Etched size and drill-bit size guidance on every tool
• Suitable for a variety of fasteners including studs and fittings

Practical use scenarios

In automotive work, you may need to remove a seized bolt in a tight space. In machinery repair, a broken stud tucked inside a housing can often be freed with the right extractor. Home projects also benefit from a six-piece spread that adapts to different fasteners. The etched sizes help you pick the right tool quickly during time-sensitive tasks.

Care, tips, and durability

Start with the recommended drill bit size etched on each tool, apply steady pressure, and rotate to engage the spiral. The six-piece set is designed for repeated use in metalworking tasks, making it a practical addition to shop and field kits alike.
