Sealey Screw Extractor Set - 5pc - Helix Type - AK722

The AK722 can extract screws from various materials including steel, wood, and plastic, provided the extractor size is appropriate and the screw isn't excessively damaged.

Try applying penetrating oil to the screw. Use a pair of pliers or a vice grip to hold the extractor and apply steady counterclockwise pressure.

Select the extractor that best fits the size of the damaged screw. Start with the smallest extractor and work your way up until you find one that fits snugly.

No, it is recommended to use the extractors with hand tools to maintain control and avoid damaging the screw or extractor.

Clean the extractors after each use, remove any debris, and store them in the provided case in a dry location to prevent rust. Applying a light coating of oil can help prevent corrosion.

If you're unable to remove the screw after several attempts, consider using a different method, such as drilling out the screw or seeking professional help.

Ensure the pilot hole is deep enough. Use a larger extractor if possible, or try applying more downward pressure while turning.

Reduce the torque applied. Try heating the screw to loosen it before extraction. If the extractor breaks, carefully remove the pieces and try a different extractor.
