Craftsman Find: Fitted for the Builder

Remove dowels from walls, ceilings, profiles, floors, etc. when dismantling, altering or repairing, everyone had to, which sometimes takes a lot of time. Therefore, I decided to make a simple extractor for these purposes. I'm sure you will suggest the best materials and construction, but I will still tell you what I used to make this homemade product.

It came in handy as a foundation plug for polypropylene pipe 1/2 inch, I even have it sealed, which is not very important. Top first in the center I drill in it with a 5 mm drill through hole.

Then, with the same drill, I make side holes, only I shift the drill so that the axes of the upper and side holes do not intersect. Self-tapping screws of different thickness should freely pass into the upper hole, and I selected a suitable diameter in the side holes long bolt, which will serve as the handle of the extractor.

I screw in the bolt by force, so I do not fix it additionally. He is holding up and so perfectly. The only thing that can be improved here is to wrap the protruding edges of the bolt so that they do not press on your fingers during prolonged use. At this point, the extractor can be considered ready.

Further, to demonstrate its capabilities, I insert plastic into the prepared holes in a wooden block dowels for 6, 8 and 10 mm. Since their diameters are different, different screws can be used for pulling out.

Black self-tapping screw on 60 mm great for pulling out dowels 6 and 8 mm. A dowel on 10 mm had to be extracted with a more powerful yellow sample (cm. video).

Having installed the extractor over the dowel, I screw the self-tapping screw into it with a screwdriver or screwdriver about 1/3, and then, grasping the edges of the bolt with my fingers, I calmly take out the dowel.

If the self-tapping screw is screwed in too deeply, the dowel will work on the spacer and it will not be possible to pull it out, so you need to get used to it with a long screw and a screw-in depth.

Here's a simple contraption turned out, friends, and it works, I would say, not bad. The main thing is that it is not difficult to do it. What do you think about homemade products?
