[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 490769, member: 22989"] Fellow toolmaker here, see pet peeve above. :x My tip, don’t bother with the spiral flute screw extractors, their junk. Get a set of proto or proto style extractors and thank me later. https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Specialty-Tools/Extractors/462d2844-86ec-4bf3-9c71-615db7e14b76_Proto%C2%AE-Screw-Extractors/ Used properly these won’t break and the sharp square cutting edge bites only as hard as you bang it in so it doesn’t expand the bolt threads into the hole further binding it when you turn it. Another benefit is these are resharpenable if you have access to a belt sander. [/QUOTE]
