Goal: To remove damaged screws.
Basic Principle: The direction of the thread is levorotatory. Screw the extractor into the damaged screw in levorotatory direction, and the damaged screw will be extracted by the rotation.
Operation: Drill a hole on top of the damaged screw initially. Utilize the extractor with a tap wrench. Screw the extractor into the hole in levorotatory direction, then the damaged screw can be removed.
