Kimball Midwest Has the Solution Posted by [Kimball Midwest](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/author/kimball-midwest) on August 21, 2025 Find us on: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/KimballMW/) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kimball-midwest) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/KimballMidwest) Tags: [Fasteners](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/tag/fasteners), [Fastener](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/tag/fastener), [Bur](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/tag/bur), [Removal](https://blog.kimballmidwest.com/tag/removal) You know you're getting quality fasteners when you're purchasing from Kimball Midwest. But what happens when you're dealing with unknown fasteners, maybe part of older equipment or an off-brand repair that snaps off, has rounded over or seizes in place? These damaged fasteners can bring repair work to a grinding halt, causing extended downtime and frustration. Fortunately, Kimball Midwest offers several professional-grade solutions that make extracting broken or damaged fasteners faster and easier. Let’s take a closer look at a few of them. 1. [**Screw and Bolt Extractors**](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Cutting-Tools/Extractors/Screw-Bolt-Extractors#P906035-anchor) One of the most common challenges with a broken fastener is its jagged, uneven surface, especially when it’s recessed in a threaded hole. Drilling into the exact center is nearly impossible without the right tools, and misalignment can ruin the threads or make removal even harder.   Kimball Midwest’s **Broken Fastener Removal Burs** are specially engineered to solve this problem. These burs first **flatten the surface** of the broken fastener without damaging surrounding threads. Then, they **create a centering point**, giving your [drill bit](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/All-Products/Cutting-Tools/Drill-Bits/All-Drill-Bits) the perfect starting position. Once centered, an extractor can be used with confidence, helping you remove the broken fastener with minimal risk of further damage. 1. [**Tritanium Broken Fastener Removal Kit**](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/831175) Sometimes a broken fastener doesn’t just sit there, it fights back. Corrosion or thread lock compounds can make extraction feel impossible. That’s where the **Tritanium Broken Fastener Removal Kit** shines.   This kit uses specially formulated **Tritanium welding rods** to build up a weld on the broken fastener. You can then **weld a nut to the broken part** and use a wrench to back it out. The rods feature a **non-conductive coating** that prevents side arcing and slag that flows to the side to **protect the threads**, even when working in recessed holes.   The rods also offer **high strength and elongation**, meaning they can handle the stress and torque required to extract even the most stubborn fasteners, all while concentrating heat in the fastener itself to help break the bond without damaging surrounding material. 1. [**16-Piece Impact Nut Extractor & Driver Set**](https://www.kimballmidwest.com/837240) Not every problem fastener is broken off. Sometimes, it’s just too **rounded or damaged** for a socket or wrench to grip. That’s where the **16-Piece Impact Nut Extractor & Driver Set** comes in.   These extractors are specifically designed to **bite into damaged hex heads** and provide a firm grip for removal. The **minus sockets** included in the set are slightly smaller than their listed size to fit snugly on severely worn fasteners, helping ensure no slip during extraction. Plus, the **impact-rated construction** and **¼ inch quick-change shanks** make it easy to use them with your impact driver for fast, effective removal. Don’t Let Broken Fasteners Derail Your Day Whether you’re in a shop, the field or on the side of the road, broken or damaged fasteners shouldn’t cost you time or money. Kimball Midwest’s range of fastener extraction solutions ensures you can tackle the toughest removal jobs with confidence and get back to work faster.   **Looking for more tips or tools to streamline your repairs?** Contact your Kimball Midwest Sales Rep.
