Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor F.A.Q.

How do I use the Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor for removing broken screws?

To use the Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor, first drill a pilot hole into the broken screw. Then, insert the appropriate size extractor into the hole and turn counterclockwise to remove the screw.

What should I do if the screw extractor slips or doesn't grip the screw?

Ensure the pilot hole is deep enough and correctly sized for the extractor. If slipping persists, try applying a bit of penetrating oil to loosen the screw.

Can the Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor be used on any type of screw material?

The Sealey AK8187 is versatile and can be used on most materials, including steel and wood screws. Avoid using excessive force on brittle materials.

What maintenance is required for the Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor?

Regularly clean the extractors after use and store them in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect for wear and replace if necessary.

How do I choose the correct size of extractor for a specific screw?

Match the extractor size to the diameter of the screw head. The extractor should fit snugly into the drilled pilot hole for effective removal.

Is it possible to use the extractor on screws with stripped heads?

Yes, the extractor can remove screws with stripped heads by drilling a pilot hole into the center of the screw and using the extractor to grip and remove it.

What is the best drill bit to use for making the pilot hole?

A high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit is recommended for creating pilot holes as it effectively cuts through most materials.

What precautions should be taken while using the screw extractor?

Wear safety goggles and gloves to protect against metal shards. Ensure the workpiece is stable and secure before starting the extraction process.

Can the Sealey AK8187 Screw Extractor be used with a power drill?

Yes, the extractor can be attached to a power drill for easier operation, but use a slow speed to avoid damaging the extractor or the screw.

What should I do if the extractor breaks during the removal process?

Carefully remove the broken extractor piece from the screw. Consider using a different extraction method or tool to complete the removal.
