Forney 20861 Helical Flute Screw Extractor #2 for 1/4" - 5/16" Bolts

The Forney 20861 helical flute screw extractor is a precision tool designed to safely remove broken screws, bolts, and threaded parts without damaging the surrounding material. This #2 size extractor features a left-hand spiral flute design that grips and backs out damaged fasteners as you turn counterclockwise with a wrench or tap handle.

Key Specifications:

• Extractor size: #2
• Required drill size: 7/64 inch
• Removes screw/bolt sizes: 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch
• Metric range: 6mm to 8mm
• Helical flute design for superior grip

Features and Benefits:

• Left-hand spiral flutes bite into the broken fastener as you turn
• Hardened construction resists breaking during extraction
• Also effective for turning and removing threaded pipe sections
• Tapered design allows deeper penetration into stubborn fasteners
• Works in pre-drilled holes for controlled, damage-free removal

To use, drill a pilot hole in the center of the broken fastener using the specified 7/64 inch bit, insert the extractor into the hole, and turn counterclockwise with a wrench or adjustable wrench. The helical flutes will grip tighter as you turn, backing out the damaged part cleanly.
