Irwin Irwin Hanson 53402 Spiral Screw Extractor, 5/32–7/32 In.

The Irwin Hanson #2 Spiral Screw Extractor removes broken studs, bolts, socket screws, and fittings that have snapped off or become stripped. When standard removal methods fail, this tool's aggressive left-hand spiral design grips damaged fasteners securely, making it essential for automotive repairs, machinery work, and home projects where broken hardware threatens to derail the job.

As you turn the extractor counterclockwise, its spiral flutes embed themselves deeper into the metal, tightening their grip as fastener resistance increases. This self-locking action ensures that the more resistance you encounter, the stronger the hold becomes, allowing you to extract fasteners from 5/32 inch to 7/32 inch in diameter (#6 to #12 bolts and screws).

Features and Benefits

• Left-Hand Spiral Design: The aggressive spiral flutes pull the damaged fastener out while simultaneously tightening their grip for reliable extraction.
• Self-Embedding Action: As you turn the tool, the flutes burrow deeper into the broken fastener, increasing grip strength as resistance increases.
• Wide Fastener Range: Handles broken studs, bolts, socket screws, and fittings from 5/32 inch to 7/32 inch in diameter (4 to 6 mm, #6 to #12 sizes).
• Easy to Store and Transport: At 6.2 inches long, the extractor is convenient for keeping in your toolbox or taking to job sites.
