Description:
A screw extractor is a tool used expressly for removing broken or seized screws. There are two types; one has a spiral flute structure, which is commonly known by the name Easy Out; the other has a straight flute structure. The tools are made of very hard, brittle steel; they can break off inside the screw if too much torque is applied, making the removal much more difficult.

Application:
A spiral screw extractor is itself a coarse-pitched tapered screw thread. They are left-handed, for use on right-handed threads.
Straight fluted extractors have less wedging effect than tapered screw extractors, so have less tendency to lock the screws into place.
