Damaged Screw & Bolt Removers
Damaged screw and bolt removers are essential tools for extracting stripped, seized or snapped fasteners without damaging surrounding surfaces. Whether you're dealing with rusted bolts or cammed-out screws, these kits provide fast, controlled removal in wood, metal or masonry.
What Are Screw & Bolt Removers Used For?
Perfect for tradespeople and repair techs needing to undo tough fasteners:
- Stripped Screw Removal – Reverse-threaded extractors grip worn-out screw heads
- Seized Bolt Extraction – Bolt-out sockets remove corroded or over-torqued bolts
- Snapped Studs – Twist-type extractors grab broken studs from engine blocks or fixings
- Embedded Screws – Drill-and-grab systems bore into heads then back the screw out
Used By:
- Maintenance engineers and tradespeople
- Joiners and fixers dealing with buried or snapped screws
- Auto techs and HVAC fitters removing corroded hardware
How to Choose an Extractor Set
Look for grip style, bit size and compatibility with your driver or drill:
1. Type of Fastener
Screws need small, pointed extractors. Bolts often need fluted sockets or twist-out designs.
2. Power Tool Fitment
Hex shank extractors fit drills or impact drivers. Sockets need a ratchet or breaker bar.
3. Material Hardness
Hardened steel or cobalt extractors last longer on rusted or embedded fixings.
Extractor Set FAQs
What tools do I need to use an extractor?
You’ll need a drill for screw extractors and a ratchet for bolt sockets. Some kits come with everything included.
Can I remove rusted bolts with these?
Yes — just soak with penetrating fluid first. Use bolt extractor sockets with spiral grip teeth for best results.
What size extractors do I need?
Check your fixing head size. Most sets cover a range from small screws (3mm) up to large bolts (12–14mm).
Do they work on wood and metal?
Yes — extractors work in timber, metal and plastic. Just go slow and centred to avoid head damage.
