How to use a broken key extractor (Easy methods)
Now when it comes to broken key extractors, I've showed you the sawtooth key extractor and the spiral key extractor.

I'll put a link to both of them in the notes below. Alright, so as you can see here, I have a broken key.
Rounded grooves on a broken key
So, as you can see right here, and right here you can see more round shaped grooves that are in this key. All right, that's going to be perfect for the spiral key extractor.
Flat spots on a broken key
Now when it comes to flat spots, okay, that's when you're going to want to use a sawtooth key extractor and as you can see right here on this ledge, this one goes and fits in perfectly.
Use spiral key extractors in the round style grooves and use the sawtooth when you have nice little ledges or L shapes that you can set the extractor on. We'll see you next time.
