A screw extractor is a tool for removing broken, damaged, or seized screws. They can be driven manually using adjustable spanners or vice grip pliers or by using a hand-held power tool. You can learn more in our complete guide to screw extractors.

### Why use a Screw Extractor?

Screws can break, rust, or become stripped and need to be replaced. This brings any work or project to a halt. The easiest way to remove the screws before replacing with a new one, is to use a specialist tool such as a screw extractor. The screw extractors are similar to a screw but have a reverse thread.

### How to remove a screw using a screw extractor?

There are few steps that you will need to follow when you are using screw extractors. To make life easy for you, we thought of sharing those steps in detail.

- Always select a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screw you want to remove.
- Attach to the drill
- Line the drill bit up with the centre of the screw
- Work slowly to drill a hole for the extractor
- Place the spiral end of the extractor into the hole you have drilled.
- Twist the extractor anti clockwise until you cannot turn it anymore
- Twist the extractor with a wrench or drill. Grip the top of the screw extractor with a wrench. Twist it anti clockwise until the screw comes free.
- If using a drill, attach the free end of the extractor to the drill, set to rotate in reverse and turn it on to turn the screw anti clockwise
- Remove the screw using pliers

### How to use a screw extractor?

Firmly fasten the extractor bit to a T-handle or hold it in your hands using locking pliers. Insert the extractor piece into damaged screw's pilot hole. Push the extractor solidly into pilot hole with a hammer. To remove the broken screw, spin the extractor counterclockwise while applying downward pressure.

Try pressing the extractor once more to obtain a better seat inside the pilot hole if it slides and loses the bite on the screw. As you rotate the extractor counterclockwise, press down harder. If it doesn't work, try again after slightly expanding the pilot hole.

You may still remove the screw without an extractor if one doesn't work. Before doing anything else, attempt to remove the screw by twisting it with pliers. If it doesn't work, carefully screw a smaller bit into old screw to entirely remove it. Remove the old metal fragments by drilling or slowly reversing the direction of the hole. Use a bigger screw and rethread the hole.

### What is an easy out tool?

Easy out tool is another name that is being used for screw extractors. As you can see, a screw extractor would be a highly useful tool that you can have around your house. It can deliver numerous benefits to you when you least expect them.

However, you will have many different types of screws and you will not know what type of a screw that you will have to get removed with the help of a screw extractor. This is where you may think about purchasing a screw extractor set. The set will provide all the assistance that you need to remove the screws, regardless of the nature and size of them.

When you have to deal with a broken screw, all you have to do is to use a screw remover. It can offer much-needed assistance to you with removing the screw. Just go ahead and buy the right easy out tool or the easy out set in our store.
