Bolt remover head |
||||
 |
The hexagonal threaded head enables the extractor to fit into standard variable speed drills. | |||
Bolt remover shaft |
||||
 |
The shaft attaches the head of the bolt remover to the burnishing and extractor end of the tool.
The bolt remover is made of hardened steel making it suitable for removing heavy duty bolts and screws. |
|||
Bolt remover threads |
||||
 |
The tapered threads bite and grip the bolt or screw when turned anti-clockwise. | |||
Bolt remover burnishing end (drill out) |
||||
 |
For the threads to bite into the bolt or screw, it first needs to be drilled out with the burnishing end, which drills down into the bolt or screw and reshapes it.
The process of reshaping the inside of the bolt or screw is carried out to create room so the threads of the bolt remover are able to reach in and grab hold of the bolt or screw so it can be extracted. |
