This Topec set contains five sizes, made from heat-treated high-carbon (chromium-molybdenum) steel and packed in a compact carrying case so you can tackle seized hardware in engines, machinery, plumbing and workshop repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the spiral design improve grip on a broken fastener?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extractor’s tapered, multi-contact spiral flutes are engineered to wedge into the broken fastener as torque is applied, increasing bite the tighter you turn.
