Tools 18001 Tap Extractor Set, Black

Literally the best 120$ I have ever spent, this tool saved my butt! Totally worth the money. Was high quality.

Works perfectly for tap extraction. You will bend them trying to remove tap but beats buying a new engine.

Superior quality, very satisfied with this product, was a great solution to removing broken taps

Yes they do bend. I had to install a hose clamp to hold the tines in, they like to back out when turning especially when use the tool horizontal. Once I installed the hose clamp tool backed the broken tap right out.

Broke a tap a good 1/8 inch below the surface in a transmission. Broke 1 tab on the first try. Cut them to the same length and took my time setting the pin. Worked with a little bit of worry. Doubt the pins will last more than a few uses. Overall worth the cost.

Orde4ed this kit to remove taps and it works phenomenally. It is made of high quality materials and is quite durable. You can also order replacement fingers when they break or wear out.

Foolish me I buried an umbrella anchor in an 8” round 3’ deep hole and filled it with concrete. Only to find out the holes in the anchor plate did not line up with the umbrella base. It would have been an easy job to drill and tap new ones on a drill press. Much harder to do with a jury-rigged jig press. Four new holes, three of them tapped then [expletive deleted] the tap broke. I tried two “cheaper” options only to make things worse. Save your time and sanity and buy the right tool for the job. Oh, and check the holes on the plate before you dig the hole.

I was skeptical if this would actually work. Now, I did do a couple of extra things to get the broken tap out. The part was finish painted and I didn't want to screw that up. Applied a small amount of lubricant, inserted the tap extraction tool and then inverted a can of compressed air to freeze the tap. The Tap was broken into 3 parts but was fairly easy to remove.
