Irwin EX-3 Spiral Screw Extractor + 5/32″ Drill Bit Combo (53703)

Description

The Irwin EX-3 Spiral Screw Extractor + 5/32″ Drill Bit Combo (53703) is a specialized tool engineered for the difficult task of removing broken, stripped, or seized fasteners. This product is a complete solution, combining a high-performance drill bit and a powerful spiral extractor, making it a staple for any maintenance and repair toolkit. Designed specifically for use on harder metals, this combo pack provides the reliability and performance needed for demanding jobs. The aggressive left-hand spiral design is the core of this product’s effectiveness, as it’s built to embed itself deeper into the metal of the fastener as resistance increases, creating a more secure grip and reducing the chance of slippage. This innovative design ensures that the extractor’s grip tightens precisely when you need it most. The included high-speed steel drill bit is carefully selected to create the perfect pilot hole, ensuring a fast and clean drilling process that prepares the fastener for a successful extraction.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Self-Tightening Spiral Design: The aggressive left-hand spiral flutes are designed to embed themselves deeper into the metal as you turn the tool. This means that as the fastener’s resistance increases, the extractor’s grip also increases, providing a more secure hold and reducing the risk of slipping.
• Ideal for Harder Metals: This combo is specifically suited for maintenance and repair work on tougher materials, providing the strength needed to tackle stubborn broken studs, bolts, and fittings.
• Convenient Combo Pack: The product includes both the necessary EX-3 extractor and the 5/32″ drill bit, ensuring you have the correctly matched tools to get the job done right out of the package.
• High-Speed Steel Drill Bit: The included drill bit is made from high-speed steel, which guarantees fast and clean drilling for the perfect pilot hole, which is crucial for a successful extraction.
• Tool Identification: Both the extractor and the drill bit are permanently etched with their respective sizes, allowing for quick and easy identification in your toolbox and preventing mix-ups.

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Before you begin, always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. It is recommended to use a center punch to create a small indentation in the exact center of the broken fastener. This will help guide the drill bit and prevent it from “walking” or slipping off-center.
2. Drill the Pilot Hole: Use the included 5/32″ high-speed steel drill bit to drill a hole into the center of the broken fastener. The hole should be deep enough to allow the extractor’s spiral to get a good bite.
3. Insert the Extractor: Place the EX-3 spiral screw extractor into the newly drilled pilot hole. You can use a hammer to gently tap it to ensure it is seated firmly.
4. Extract the Fastener: Using a wrench or a tap wrench, slowly turn the extractor counter-clockwise. The tool’s left-hand spiral design will bite into the metal and, in a successful extraction, unscrew the broken fastener.
