HOW TO REMOVE BROKEN TAPS AND BOLTS🛠

[@stevecochrane9657]

Really enjoyed the vid great to see a guy who is real down to earth and doesn’t set it up for a win

[@mammutit]

ring pliers work good too to get broken taps backed out, you put them in and adjust to the size and have goot leverage to turn it

[@moderndaytinkerer785]

Junkie, some carbide drills is what you need to drill taps, also I would run the drill in low gear, to allow the chip to remove the heat and by not spinning the drill bit so fast, it keeps the material from work hardening. Thanks for the video!

[@greenfeilds...1]

You need a good quality carbide burr and a dremel to drill into that tap material. They also make extractors that slide arms down the flutes of the broken taps and you can spin it out if you are lucky

[@joshuapruden6497]

Great video! Love your videos. If the tap was loose from the punch and chisel step, could I get away with using a cut off wheel to grind a slot into the broken tap so that I could get a flat head screw driver on it? Is the cut off wheel too soft to make a slot in the broken tap?

[@gt500knights]

In some cases if you have access to an oxyacetalyne torch, you can heat the tap up enough to make it molten and then blow it out. This can take great skill, however, as you wouldnt want to melt any surrounding materials. If blowing out molten metal, make sure nothing flammable is around!!! This method has worked several times for me.

[@VRacing]

If you look at side of extractor it tells you what size to drill the bolt with. So you don't have to guess.

[@rodface4748]

Rescue bit for broken taps has worked the best for me.

[@ludis7128]

Good video and laughed at "keyboard warriors". Needed that because I just broke a hardened steel extractor bit in a motorcycle frame and it's flush to the frame.

[@ajsmith3006]

Hey junkie. Have a steady hand with a torch and a smallest tip on the torch. Blow the centre out of the tap and pick the pieces out. Done it a few times. Have your drinks at night for a steady hand. Done some small taps twice. Give her a try sometime.

[@SLR326]

Thanks for this series of videos regarding taps and extractors. Where can i get those tap sockets from, Mcmaster Carr??? Oh one more thing put some safety glasses on Man. Metal chips and eyeballs dont mix.

[@stever5887]

SLR326--I don't recall his talking about tap sockets, but I probably just got distracted. Lisle makes two sets of tap sockets; one for more common (i.e., smaller) sizes, which has eight sockets (product #70500). It has four 1/4"-drive sockets and four 3/8-drive sockets. The other set is for bigger taps, and I believe has four sockets (I don't have that one). Both are available on Amazon, and probably many others online. My set was U.S.-made, purchased about four years ago.

[@brianbell6158]

Hey junkie love the vids just so you know I use bur bits in my die grinder and just use patients I know I don't have them docs have patients but the slower the better so you don't open the hole. just fuck up the tap and use your ppe (personal pertected equipment cause your right they are tough it could be hss tap or a high carbon tap

[@mr.h4714]

Can you replace just the tip in starret spring loaded center punch? Might get lucky and be able to get parts for it??

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Thanks for the video bud keep up the great work I enjoy watching everyone of them thanks again

[@jerm33291]

Great video on removal of broken shit.Have you ever used wax to remove bolts? I realize it's rare to encounter a rusted bolt that will not budge, but here's a trick in case you do: Heat the area around the bolt with a torch, and touch a candle to the threads. The wax will be sucked into the opening around the threads, and the bolt can be removed easily. The heating and candle application may have to be repeated a couple times. This works on the same principle as "sweat-soldering" copper pipes, and will work where penetrating oil will not. (Always use care when and where you apply heat) Try this on your next stuck bolt. You'll be amazed.

[@stever5887]

Jerm C--I saw that on a KZbin video about 8 months ago; it is amazing how easily the bolts become loose and back right out. That trick is especially useful on automobile lug nuts that have rusted in place. Having a piece of wax to rub on drywall screws while you're driving them into hardwood with a drill makes that job easier, too.

[@trevorholland296]

Hey the end of your blue flame will heat your steel way quicker then burying the flame on the metal

[@NotSoJDM18]

Hell yea brother!!! Love the videos Justin keep it up, fuck the haters!

[@stevedonnelly5705]

they make a tool that gets broken taps out the company is called welton they work great look them up on line ,, keep up the good work like ur videos

[@patcb829]

Sign that Starret center pinch and send it to me. Haha. Seriously, you should be able to regrind it just go slow and keep it cool.

[@BoostedRex]

Junkies brain is harder than that tap!!

[@chrischiampo8106]

How The Fuck are You Doing Today Junkie 😎👩🏻‍🔧👨🏼‍🔧👍🏼 Sometimes you can slide 2 picks between the Flutes of the Broken Tap and put a Screwdriver Between and Turn it out like a Spanner 👍🏼

[@mattperske6594]

I wouldn't say Irwin is crap. Look at all you snap on stuff and then check out Irwin. It's all rebranded Irwin dude. All taps are hardened steel and should break if you hit it with a hammer. The correct way to remove a tap is with a walten tap extracted kit.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Matt Perske I didn't even hit them with a hammer at the thing hit my leg and broke I think it was a little bit different than the ones that snap on so that might be a different grade but I'm gonna check out those tat remover's and will try those

[@stever5887]

Justin--Matt Perske was talking about Walton Tap Extractors (not walten). I've not used them myself, but check out Tubal Cain's videos here on KZbin; he's an oldtime machinist. The Waltons are available individually and in sets (not cheap, but not overly expensive). The extractor "fingers" have a habit of bending and/or breaking if they meet resistance, so they're not foolproof. Your center punch trick is a more reliable method, and the propane torch helps out with stuck/epoxied fasteners. The center punch also works on bolts when they've broken off level or inside the threaded hole. Another kit to try is Ridgid's Screw Extractors Set No. 10, which some people swear by; it permits you to more easily drill a hole in the center of the fastener or tap. This set is also available from Snap-on as the Blue Point E1020 Extractor Set. In a pinch, a pair of really fine-jawed needle nose pliers could be pressed into service to back out the tap, again using heat

[@mmikee407]

How about welding a bolt or the like to the broken end of a tap and then it would be so easy to back it out using the most basic set of pliers not even the Knipex cobra or a wrench…etc. Provided that someone have the gears required for welding and if welding is feasible and can be done safely and away from inflammable stuff.

[@airbornelocksmith]

I see you have a Skookum as frig tap chart on the wall back there!

[@greenfeilds...1]

How do you not have Snap On center punches? They warranty punches, chiseles and center punch for dulling and rounding

[@chriscorum7266]

Just resharpen the punch i do it all the time go slow dont get it too hot

[@danielzorn5857]

If you watch closely you can see the tip going flying on the center punch

[@tristansevertson4013]

i have a drill press i use when i want to stay straight on when drilling holes and stuff.

[@michaelhallas6450]

you have use carbide or a burring tool to grind that tap out

[@SergioPena20]

Those aren't center punches, they're transfer punches

[@Anthony.sAutomotiveAdventures]

Yea. You not going to drill taps. Especially if it's on the vehicle

[@DocRevo]

Exactly. I saw the title of this and thought he should change it to "watch me screw around with no success!"

[@farinseiler4244]

You worked those taps like a FUCKING BOSS MR.JUNKIE! If you keep that punch cool enough, i'm sure you can grind her back to life. But you probably already knew that, so i'll shut the FUCK uo now. I fucking hate typing. Fuck typing. I gotta fucking go. Peace out Junkie. Randy P.

[@hazerava]

Use the rescue bit: rescuebit.com/ You'll be able to drill into the tap, broken drill bits or any hardened steel without sweating. It's a little pricey (around $70 bucks) but it works. You won't need anything else but your cordless drill...you won't need to put any pressure and the rescue bit will pulverize the broken tap or drill bit with no problem. You'll save a lot of money and no need a mill or send the part to the shop.

[@cameronmabe1941]

Snap-on Taps are just rebranded they're just erwin

[@av8r500]

I feel like this was Analyse this in the machine shop....

[@SergioPena20]

Run the left handed drill bits a lot slower. You'll have better results

[@SergioPena20]

Putting a left handed bit in a lathe won't help you either...

[@paulzamora64]

Great video Justin

[@zach5301]

taps are easy to get out if you know what ur doing😉

[@Blazingflashover]

The drill bit should of fucking focused.

[@bill-nj6fc]

LMAO, THAT WAS FUNNY AS SHIT, YOU AND THAT BROKEN TAP

[@steph2211]

You fuck that one up nice video Justin keep up the good work

[@steventaylor5687]

One. No W needed.

[@steph2211]

not to bad for a french guy thanks

[@BobWhite777]

Does snap-on sell safety glasses? You need some.

[@farinseiler4244]

Yeah, scratching your cornea with a chunk of hot metal sucks ass and hurts like hell, but I am a wimp. You would probably just flush your eye with rubbing alcohol to sterilize it, and go right back to work. Fuck typing. i have had to correct my shit at least ten times and it's still fucked up. The only words that I did not spell wrong is fuck and ass. I have to make my own You Tube profile. My girl is getting pissed that I talk filthy under her name. It took me 15 minutes to type this because I am an idiot. Randy P

[@farinseiler4244]

I am gonna send him a case of safety glasses and something to support the dump body on that truck when he is working under it. All bullshit aside Junkie, my dad and I found my uncle Burt dead under a 3-point hitch sprayer in the field. And he had big 12 inch blocks of wood under it. A freak accident. But you don't want to make your kid grow up without a Dad, so be careful. If you go and get killed, who will make us laugh and "All that Shit?"

[@stevehenrichs5091]

And some soap to wash out that mouth he has

[@anthonytemme7773]

Taps are hardened which makes them brittle so they shatter if you hit them with punches

[@stever5887]

Anthony--Yes, they are brittle, but if you noticed, he was hitting them with short strokes of his hammer. They did not break, but turned a bit with each strike, which eventually loosened them enough to be removed. You can shatter them if they're hit hard enough, which might be the plan if you can't get them to turn at all. At that point, you'd want to be wearing a face shield to protect your face and eyes from the shards of metal being thrown up at you.

[@glenvanbavel2094]

Thanks for the tips

[@lol-ku1wl]

How tha fuck are you guys doin today?! 😂

[@snap-off5383]

Why didn't you clamp it under your drill press? Ha ha Justin, don't want to say "Knipex" because you don't want to hear it from the pronunciation Nazis, then you say "grinded off". {:-) If anyone gives you shit, point them at the dictionary, to my surprise "grinded" is a word although the dictionary does say its use is "rare". Most people would say "ground off". The one that is like nails on a chalkboard to me is when people say "orientated". Its ORIENTED. Oh, you don't HAVE a drill press? That's a must-get item.

[@SquidProQuo2112]

Who the hell hits a tap with a hammer?

[@kounl5304]

I love ur fucking video, keep the fucking video coming.

[@IHPICKUP]

Nice video!! 🍺🍺🍻🍻

[@ncrdisabled]

Man I wish I could buy that snap on set but I a poor disabled vet shit!!!!!

[@kev73099]

They make a tool to get out broken taps

[@GabrielPerez-xd6wp]

thats a nice fucking hammer you got rite there! what brand is that? not the snap on one

[@mdavies7948]

This video already exists over on ave's channel, and I know you know. You even used his joke about LH drills. You've clearly never worked with any of this stuff before.

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Yep better off just bring it to me to mill out.

[@bardapenes8299]

The name is Knipex

[@vladipful]

Made me laugh 👍

[@nicholasetoon]

I'll make a suggestion to you, stop cussing so much. I enjoyed the video. I think you have some good ideas to offer people and could get more likes. But, using profanity like you do does not make you seem intelligent. I tell my kids there are two reasons most people use profanity: 1-an emotional outburst due to pain or anger 2-because they don't have an intelligent word to use in place of the profanity (probably the only reason). You seem pretty capable of finding a more intelligent word every other sentence than fuck. I'm not an uptight person. But, when I can't listen to the video without headphones because my kids may hear, that's bad. Keep making the good and get rid of the bad. Thnx pal.

[@jamesdmclennan5478]

You may or may not have some useful information, but your language is unacceptable especially in a public forum. I am surprised that you tube hasn't removed you.
