Short on time? Skip to the last sentence, or just order the tool.Short attention span? See the R.L.I. paragraph for some Review-Like Information. (It's "people stuff" that those info-writing AI only wish they knew.) Then read the last sentence and/or just order the tool.Not short of anything? Weeell, that is just so nice for yooou, isn't it..?. congratulations....so... just how did you happen to get here? You say, you were asked to get this by the person who will use it? In your pool house? Well, we-are-all-just-so-surprised-to-hear-that. You'd best get to it, then. Do come back when you're done to read more, though. This is an amusing read for me, and (or should I say "but"?) I'm the one who wrote it.Disclaimer:Sometimes my "honest reviews" are, honestly, at the mercy of my sense of humor and love of good natured satire. So much of this is totally irrelevant that if you're reading this it must have gotten reviewed for posting by a review reviewer who has a sense humor and was already in a good mood.Important to note:I would not squander precious silliness and time creating a ridiculous, long series of superfluous words in a review of a product that isn't already a no-brainer to buy. It's best served with things that need to be ordered regardless of what I say, something like this that you most likely need right now or you wouldn't have looked it up.With tools, here's my thought process:If you might not need it, that automatically means you might need it, which means that you actually do need it, so you have it, just in case you need it, so you really need to get it.My view on tools was tested and proven in a lab I just made up, and it's backed by nearly plausible-looking, bloated equations drawn way out in common core format, and if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that if an expert pretends to understand and validates an equation, we won't know it, so we'll just nod, right along with everybody else.You should really get the tool ordered before you forget. That piece of pipe isn't going to jump out of there on its own. Then come back, because if this is half as entertaining to read as it has been to write, it's worth your time as much as watching video shorts._____________________________I have a very useful internal dialogue that has helped me for many decades and through countless projects. It usually goes something like this: "If this could break or blow up or get worse and I don't have every tool and material to fix it or replace it, walk away until I do. That's right, just stop. Get the stuff you need. Well, go on, now. Just walk away and - Whoa! What are you DOING ? I said Go. Go-go-go-go....drop that wrench or I sweeear.. Fine. Now, walk. Keep walking.. eyes forward...goood....very good... Awww, it's okay..(pat, pat, pat) I'll fix it tomorrow...how about a soda? Maybe paint something?... ". This has become my life's overarching motto, in effect, an internal dialogue in which my own common sense is wresting the reins from hands that, lacking the right tools or materials and by no fault of their own, possess situationally-not-so-nimble fingers, and it's guided me away from doing some pretty dumb things, nearly as far back as the Reagan era.However, the actual goal is to get the job done, because you can't wash dishes or take a shower under hot running avoidance/complacency rewards of carbonated beverages and afternoons spent painting things that didn't really need it. Those require running water.So, hop in and take over gate duty, if you like, cuz I'm about to drive this old truck headlong into the world of Pipework Proper, where pipe wall made of hard steel- once so strong, so long ago - now crushes to pieces like a generic sugar cone under a spoonful of stiff, sticky ice cream, where instead of unscrewing, pipe occasionally collapses and twists off right outside the coupling, leaving the threaded part as the only intact piece, stuck in there, and a place where I sure wouldn't want to go wrenching on another thing without every last thing I could possibly need to replace everything and fix anything, right here, at hand, which I do, 'cause hey, that's how I roll.I'm pretty sure I save myself tons of extra work by being prepared for complications and things that could have gone wrong. Like maybe those complications have regular routes they travel, searching for a project and maybe someone's morning to ruin. I think if those complications look down on a job and see tools to fix any complication, they don't bother trying to mess it up. Anticlimactic, you know? A waste of their time there's no drama. Me, I strive to be just that boring. I think it worked, too. In fact, I'm so app-deletingly dulI, I think they dropped me from their route. Pretty good, heh...?Those complications may have moved on, but they're still out there, somewhere, always searching for some poor fellow who's working on something, preferably without the right tools. They enjoy introducing themselves most on Sundays, and whenever an open hardware store is a 4 hour round trip with tire chains required by law. You know, my heart (Insert earnest empathy here) next unprepared person they decide to mess with..Yuppah. I sure wouldn't wanna be that guy.____So, now you know why I get all the tools I could possibly need for any scenario. Well, also because I really like getting new tools. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it, I say.I highly recommend not only this tool, but being prepared with tools and solutions like this in general, to turn a head-scratcher into just another way to show that new guy up. I mean to help the younger generations on their learning journey. That's what I meant. Yeah. so...Seriously, if you might need to get un-wrenchable pipe in this size range out of somewhere that it's trying to stay, there really isn't an easier way, or any easy make-shift solution that wouldn't mess up the threads, or anything effective and not destructive that would take less time than waiting for this tool to be shipped to you. Not that I've seen or thought up, and I'm a toolmaker from way back. Even if I took the time to make something like this, I wouldn't treat them as well as factory made tools, and they'd just get swallowed by my workshop.Without the case these came in, I'd never again see them all together.______R.L.I.This next part has review-like information, but only incidentally:Getting this set before starting the work is more than just an excuse to buy a cool new tool, even the very bestest most coolest kind of new tool, too: A whole big Kit of "tool", perfectly contained, totally organized, gonna stay organized, easy to find, use, and put away, with every part pressure-clipped into it's own little fitted recess inside a black, injection-molded hard case that produces the sounds of angels singing when you pop open the latches, and increases in volume as you lift it open, or maybe that last part is just me, but I really don't think it's just me.I'll say it for your shop's efficiency clerk, I'll say it for your spouse, and I'll say it for your own sense of thrift:If you're removing part of a pipe system that's this size, getting this kit before starting is a good, sound, prudent decision.I've had some fun with this review. I hope it makes sense, but if not, here's a summary: I recommend this tool.

This 9-piece extractor set is a must-have for anyone dealing with stripped or broken pipes. Made of heavy-duty steel, it's durable and tough enough to handle stubborn plumbing issues. The set includes nine sizes, from 1/8" to 1", covering most pipe problems and eliminating the need for multiple tools. It comes with a handy case for storage and easy access. The extractors grip damaged threads tightly, making pipe removal easy. I use these to repair brass instruments and they work pretty well so they are a good tool in my toolbox.

These are one of those tools, that when you need them, you really need them. The fit and finish is nice, and they are very durable. But more than anything, they are easy to use. Drive it in and turn.

Great pipe extractor kit. Came with 9 different sizes. Easy to use. Durable and sturdy and it does actually extract the broken copper pipes out.

The Pipe Extractor Set, 9-Piece Heavy Duty Steel Broken Pipe Extractors for Removing Damaged Threaded Pipes & Fittings from 1/8" to 1", with Durable Storage case is very useful and effective for removing broken, frozen and corroded pipes and fittings. It's a very good quality set that is sturdy and durable. The extractors are very easy to use. You simply choose the correct size extractor for the pipe you're removing, tap it into the end of the pipe firmly and use a wrench or pliers to unscrew the pipe. The set comes with a wide variety of sizes that will cover most needs. I'm very satisfied with the quality and performance of this set and consider it an excellent value!

If you've ever found yourself staring into the dark abyss of a pipe that contains the broken-off male threads of its mate, you'll appreciate having these around. I've found myself trying everything from plier handles to needle-nose pliers "held open" to try to extract the offending piece. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm confident that this extractor set is going to work in all situations.These extractors appear to be very well made. They are "beefy" and feel heavy in the hand.My personal "thing" for this kind of tool is the storage case. Does it include one and what is the quality? The case for these extractors is great. Each extractor has its own spot in the case. The design of the lid ensures that the extractors don't fall out of their assigned spots. The sliding latch looks like it will hold up well.This one of those tools that you hopefully won't need to use very often, but it can save your evening/weekend simply by owning it.

This broken pipe threads extractor set is super heavy-duty. It is clearly built for the job and it should last a very long time. The set includes 9 adapters covering 6 sizes from 1/8” to 1”, plus three extra length models for 7/16”, 1/2” and 5/8” (there are shorter versions as well for the 1/2” and the 5/8” sizes – so in total there are 7 different diameters in the set). The adapters are made of strong steel and ready to take the beating required to get the job done. The thread grabbing ridges on each extractor are sharp and strong too. They are holding up nicely as they cut into the damaged material to grab it. I believe they are professional quality and would hold up nicely in any plumbing shop. The adapters are all nicely organized in a blow-molded plastic case with a slot for each size. This makes it easy to find what you need and assure that none are being left behind on the jobsite. The adapters are etched with the size and the case has the size for each adapter clearly marked as well. This is a great extractor set and I am very happy that I have it ready to help solve the difficult problem of snapped off pipe threads.
