Screw Extractor/Drill Set - Vermont American

The Vermont American 21829 Screw Extractor/Drill Set offers professional technicians a reliable solution for removing stubborn broken, seized, or stripped fasteners. This 10-piece comprehensive set features precision-matched left-hand drill bits and extractors, engineered to deliver a controlled and repeatable removal process that helps protect surrounding components and existing threads across diverse automotive and industrial applications.

Key Features

• Matched Drill and Extractor Pairs: Each of the five extractors is precisely paired with a correctly sized left-hand drill bit, ensuring an optimal pilot hole for secure engagement and efficient extraction of damaged fasteners.
• Left-Hand Spiral Design: Reverse spiral flutes are engineered to bite into the fastener as you drill, often allowing broken screws and small bolts to be removed without additional force, minimizing the risk of further damage.
• High-Carbon Steel Construction: Manufactured from fortified high-carbon steel, the drills and extractors are built to withstand the heat and wear encountered when working with steel, cast iron, and common automotive alloys.
• Comprehensive Fastener Coverage: This set is sized to address typical screws and small bolts, ranging from 3/32" to 5/8", found in engine components, brackets, covers, and various shop equipment.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Engineered for repeated use and reliability in demanding environments such as automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and industrial service operations.
• Controlled Thread Recovery: Designed to minimize damage to existing threads and surrounding material, helping to reduce the need for costly thread repair inserts or oversize drilling.

Applications

• Efficiently extract broken screws, bolts, and studs from critical components such as engine blocks, timing covers, valve covers, and housings on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and heavy equipment.
• Remove fasteners with stripped, rounded, or corroded heads from metal, wood, or plastic during general repair and maintenance tasks.
• Support routine maintenance on essential shop equipment like lifts, compressors, and production machinery where damaged fasteners can impact operational efficiency.
• Recover usable threaded holes in valuable components when replacement parts or extensive repairs are costly or impractical.
