HOW TO USE:

1. Drill a Pilot Hole: Select the appropriate extractor and a drill bit as indicated on the tool. Drill a straight, centered hole into the broken fastener. A left-handed drill bit is recommended, as it may help loosen the fastener during the drilling process.
2. Insert the Extractor: Place the tip of the extractor into the newly drilled pilot hole. Ensure it is securely seated.
3. Turn and Remove: Using a wrench or a tap wrench, turn the extractor slowly in a counterclockwise direction. The spiral flutes will engage with the material of the fastener. Continue to apply steady, counterclockwise pressure until the fastener begins to turn and is fully extracted from the hole.
