Title: BROKEN TAP EXTRACTORS
Post by: Ken W. on July 09, 2018, 09:55:06 AM: I picked up this broken tap extractor the other day. I really could have used the a couple of years ago when I broke a tap on a rifle barrel.
I got the whole set plus 2 extra extractors for $ 10.00.

I could have used one myself sometime back but was able to "brute force" work it out without damaging the subject item. :tongue:
