HSS Broken Tap Extractor – Remove Stuck Taps Without Damaging Threads
Dealing with a snapped tap lodged in your workpiece? This HSS Broken Tap Extractor is a practical metalworking tool designed to help you remove broken taps from M3 to M10 threaded holes quickly and without harming the surrounding threads. Available in multiple sizes (0# through 6#), each extractor features precision-machined 3-claw or 4-claw jaws that grip the flutes of the broken tap for a secure, counterclockwise extraction.
Made in Mainland China.
⚠️ Important: This extractor works best on broken taps that are not overly tight or fully seized. If the tap is extremely tight, the claw may break. Smaller extractors carry a lower success rate by nature. This tool offers an additional recovery option — results may vary based on the specific situation.
Key Features
- High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction — Durable, hardened material built for metalworking applications
- 3-Claw or 4-Claw Design — Grips tap flutes securely for controlled extraction
- Thread-Safe Operation — Designed to remove broken taps without damaging finished threads
- Multiple Sizes Available — Select the right model for your exact tap diameter (M3 to M10+)

How to Use
- Choose the correct extractor size matching your broken tap specification.
- Insert the extractor claws into the flute slots of the broken tap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What tap sizes does this broken tap extractor work with?
A: This HSS broken tap extractor set covers a range of metric tap sizes from M3 to M12+, depending on the model you select (0# through 6#). Always match the extractor model number to the tap size for best results.
Q: Will this extractor damage the threads in my workpiece?
A: The tool is specifically designed to engage the flute slots of the broken tap rather than the threaded walls, which helps protect the finished thread profile in your workpiece during the extraction process.
Q: What if the broken tap is very tightly seized?
A: If the tap is extremely tight or fully seized, there is a higher chance the extractor claws may break under excessive force. This tool works best on moderately stuck taps. For fully seized taps, EDM (electrical discharge machining) may be required at a machine shop.
Q: What material is the extractor made from?
A: The extractor is made from HSS (High-Speed Steel), a hardened tool steel well-suited for metalworking tasks, offering good durability and wear resistance during tap extraction.
