• for removing a damaged or incorrectly installed V-COIL wire thread insert from an internal thread
• for repair correction before a new insert is installed into the prepared receiving thread

When is an extracting tool required?

Use it when a V-COIL wire thread insert is damaged, incorrectly installed, or must be replaced.

Does extraction complete the repair?

No, extraction only removes the insert and the receiving thread must be inspected before a replacement insert is installed.

How do you select the extracting tool?

Select it by the numbered V-COIL tool range and the insert size range used in the repair process.

Can you use a normal screw tool instead?

No, a dedicated extracting tool is used because a wire thread insert must be released without treating it as a normal screw.
