Review on Steel Broken Head Taps Stripped Screw Remover Kit Tap Extractor Set(#C 656G/23.1Oz (Ten-Piece Set)) by Francis Heart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. for my opinion

Co worker broke a 1/4 - 20 tap, and this set came to the rescue. Retrieval of the broken portion went well. I have used these, many times over the years, and have learned to go easy. However if it's a bottoming tap that has bottomed, and broken, heating the surrounding metal will help this tool remove the broken tap. There are several scenarios to consider, but just go easy and use your head.Always wear your safety glasses when working with these tools. Hardened metals can shatter with disastrous results.

Pros
  • Taps & Dies
Cons
  • The set requires some level of technical know-how to use effectively, which could be daunting for beginners. If you're not skilled in removing screws or tapping, it might be difficult to use without guidance
