Tap Extractor 3/4 Flute Broken Head Screw Remover Stripped Tap Extractor Set Steel 3 Types 6 Pcs

These worked out great for retrieving broken tape on my motorcycle case. Would highly recommend keeping a set in your toolbox.

Arrived bent. Shouldn’t even be able to bend that easily, used pliers to try to straighten and broke off immediately. Garbage. I guess I have to buy the 150$ Walton set

So typical a description that creates an error making it unusable for me a claim that it can be returned yet after giving the reason why the continue button just won't work. Kind of tired of being off of the return policy and not being able to exercise it. However, I like the decent hardened Construction of the custom extractor tools. Unfortunately for me second from the largest extractor for 3/8 tap only had three flutes and my 3/8 tap that is broken in the hole has four. That leaves me unfortunately without the ability to attempt to back this broken tap out of what is most likely weld hardened Japanese or Korean stainless. I will have to begin fabricating my own extractor evidently from some cheap week tubing that may not suffice but I do not know that I have enough time to reorder from somewhere and receive before this boat needs to drop in the water. Decent stuff just hope next time I've got the appropriate number of flutes compared to flutes on the tap.

I only wish I knew about these years ago. Would've saved me a lot of headache. The job I was doing was tapping a 10-32 thread into a rifle bolt. A mere slip of the hand later, I snapped the tap off. I attempted to use a punch to back it out, ended up breaking it up further. I also damaged the metal I was tapping. I tabled that project till I saw this here on Amazon. Decided to give it a try. To prep the extraction, I used a comparable sized chainsaw sharpening stone. I ground down past the damaged area, apparently the heat from the grinding was enough to help loosen the broken tap. I put the appropriate Tap extractor in position and gently tapped it into position. I gently put gentle back and forth pressure, I heard a soft popping noise at first, I thought I may have broken the tool. It was actually the sound of the tap coming loose! This helped me save a Junked rifle bolt. Paid for itself easily! Just be sensible and go easy, It helped me! Thanks!

They are decent but broke on me

Broke before even got to try it

Yep - I also got a tap broken off because it was too aggressive chasing a thread. I believed it was going to be impossible to get that sorted until I found this and thought “what have I got to lose?” Answer: everything to gain. The smaller extractor worked perfectly in the M6 tap fragment, gliding into the three flutes and giving me leverage to put it out. Take your time! Use lubrication! Even wiggle back and forth a bit! It worked for me and I’m back in business.

Listen to the other reviewers. If you used enough force to snap off your solid carbide metal tap in a hole, these little flimsy metal tips are not strong enough to reverse your tap out. There are other professional machinist type tap removal devices that may work, but even that is an iffy proposition.
