Tap Extractors

Remove broken taps – and save the threads

Walton Tap Extractors let you remove broken machine screw and hand taps, pipe taps and STI taps without drilling, lasers, damaged threads, scrapped parts or repair inserts.

The hardened steel fingers of these extraction tools fit in the flutes of a broken tap to back it out simply and safely. This effective method has been used since 1908. Tap Extractors are available in every tap size – both inch and metric – as handy sets or individual pieces. They will fit both NC and NF taps.

Walton Tap Extractors are designed specifically for:

  • #4 to 1-1/2” machine screw and hand taps
  • 3mm to 38mm taps, in all standard flute sizes
  • 1/8” to 1” pipe taps
  • #4 to 5/8” helical coil “STI” taps

Specifications & Ordering Information

Choose the type of tap extractor that you are interested in to view available sizes and EDP numbers, or download our catalog. When you are ready to order, we’ll help you find the distributor nearest you. Here is some important ordering information to keep in mind:

  1. Do not use the abbreviation “EXT.” on your orders. This could refer to either “Extensions” or “Extractors.”
  2. All orders for complete Tap Extractors and all replacement parts must clearly specify the flute style required. Each table shows, by size, the flute style
    for which that size is standard. Parts are not interchangeable between the different flute styles.
  3. When ordering replacement parts, refer to the parts illustration below for correct part name.
  4. Standard Sets contain sizes and flute styles as shown in our ordering information. Order by Set Number. Sets containing the same sizes but in non-standard flute styles will be made up on request at no extra charge.
  5. Orders for Pipe Tap Extractors and replacement parts must clearly specify “Pipe Tap” and indicate required flute style.
  6. Orders for STI Tap Extractors and replacement parts must clearly specify “STI” (Screw Thread Insert) and indicate flute style required.
  7. Threads per inch need not be specified, as Tap Extractors will fit both NC and NF taps.
