This Broken Pipe Thread Extractor is a drill-powered tool designed to remove broken pipe nipples and damaged internal threads from common plumbing fittings. It is made for repair work where rust, corrosion, or seizure makes standard tools difficult to use.
The extractor supports 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch broken pipe nipples, covering many household faucet, angle valve, and water pipe repair situations. Its standard 1/4 inch hex shank connects directly to corded or cordless drills, and reverse rotation helps drive the self-expanding jaws outward for a firm internal grip.
The tool is also described for use with metal rusted pipe nipples, PPR, PVC, and plastic water pipe broken fittings. An extension rod is available for manual operation when drill power is unavailable, making it a practical option for bathroom, kitchen, and general plumbing maintenance.
