Product Information

Full details

The Silverline Screw Extractor Set is an essential tool kit for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and workshop professionals who need to remove stripped or broken bolts and screws that standard tools cannot handle. Crafted from high-quality GCr15 bearing steel, this 6-piece set provides the durability required for extracting stubborn, damaged fasteners ranging from 3mm to 25mm in size. While these tools offer exceptional versatility for common mechanical repairs, they require careful technique and a pre-drilled pilot hole to function effectively, making them best suited for those comfortable with basic drilling tasks.

FAQs

Does this set include the drill bits needed to create the pilot hole?

No, this set contains only the extractors. You will need your own HSS or cobalt drill bits to create the necessary pilot holes.

What is GCr15 steel?

GCr15 is a high-carbon chromium bearing steel known for its excellent hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for precision tools.

Can I use these on stainless steel bolts?

You can, but proceed with caution. Stainless steel is prone to work-hardening, so use plenty of cutting oil and keep your drill speed slow to avoid damaging your bits and the extractor.

What happens if the extractor breaks off inside the bolt?

This is a common risk if too much force is applied. Because these are made of hardened steel, they are difficult to drill out. Always start with light, steady pressure and avoid side-to-side force.

Is this set suitable for wood screws?

Yes, it can be used for wood screws provided the fastener is large enough to allow for a pilot hole without destroying the surrounding material.

Troubleshooting

The extractor is spinning without gripping the bolt.

The pilot hole is likely too large for the current extractor. Try the next size up or ensure the hole is deep enough to allow the extractor threads to seat properly.

The extractor will not bite into the fastener.

Ensure you are using a sharp drill bit to create a clean pilot hole and that the bolt face is flat. If the bolt is hardened, you may need a cobalt drill bit to create the initial pilot hole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality GCr15 bearing steel ensures long-lasting performance
  • Wide size range covers almost all common bolt and screw dimensions
  • Essential for salvaging components that would otherwise require drilling out
  • Robust enough for heavy-duty workshop environments

Cons

  • Requires access to a drill and high-speed steel (HSS) drill bits for pilot holes
  • Extreme force can potentially snap an extractor if not used properly
  • Not suitable for hardened stainless steel bolts without specialized lubricants and slow speeds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Silverline Screw Extractor Set, proper maintenance is vital. Always ensure you are using the correct size extractor for the pilot hole; an undersized hole puts excessive strain on the tool, while an oversized hole will cause the tool to slip. Keep the extractors clean and lightly oiled to prevent surface oxidation. After each use, wipe down the tools to remove metal shavings and grit. Store the set in a dry environment, ideally within the provided packaging or a dedicated tool roll, to protect the precision-machined edges of the extractors. Never use an impact driver with these tools, as the sudden shock can easily snap the hardened steel.
