The AB Tools 5-piece Stud, Screw, and Bolt Extractor Set (TE395) is designed for automotive mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and home repair professionals who frequently encounter stubborn, rusted, or damaged fasteners. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable way to remove seized hardware without needing to drill or tap new holes; however, users should note that the extractors require manual force and precision to prevent breakage when dealing with severely corroded bolts.

No. These are designed for hand-tool use only. Impact drivers can exert excessive torque that may snap the hardened steel of the extractors.
The smallest size, No. 1, is designed for fasteners in the 3mm to 6mm range.
Yes, as long as a portion of the stud is protruding enough for the extractor to grip the outer diameter.
These extractors are designed to bite onto the exterior of the bolt head, so no pilot hole is required for standard operation.
Wipe the tools clean of any metal dust and apply a light coat of oil before storing them in the provided blow-molded case in a dry environment.
Ensure the bolt head is clean of debris. If it still slips, you may need to firmly tap the extractor onto the bolt head with a hammer to ensure the teeth bite into the metal.
Apply a high-quality penetrating lubricant and allow it to soak for at least 15-30 minutes before attempting to extract again.
Stop immediately. The tool is likely misaligned. Re-center the tool and ensure you are applying force directly along the axis of the bolt.
To maximize the lifespan of your TE395 set, always ensure the tool is perfectly aligned with the bolt head before applying pressure. The set is compatible with most standard hand-driven tools, including adjustable wrenches, socket drives, and T-handle tap holders. Avoid using air-powered or electric impact wrenches, as the sudden shock can snap the extractors. After use, clean the teeth of the extractors with a wire brush to remove metal shavings, and wipe them down with a light machine oil before returning them to the blow-molded case to prevent surface rust.
