The Clinserts Extrakt tool is used to fully remove a previously installed Clinsert.

Clinserts Insert Removal Tools

The Clinserts® Extrakt Kit is a purpose built engineered solution for the controlled removal of key locking inserts from parent materials. Designed for precision, efficiency, and repeatability, this kit transforms the way insert removal and thread repair are performed. Traditional methods of removing key locking inserts often require drilling out the insert’s core. A small mishap can result in accidentally drilling into the parent material, forcing the repair to oversize the hole and re-thread it. This process can compromise component strength, increase repair time, and add unnecessary machining steps.

The EXTRAKT Kit eliminates these risks by providing all the tools required for a controlled and reliable insert removal process.

At the core of the kit is the Extrakt tool, which is designed to guide the removal process with precision. The kit also includes a specialized drill used to drill out the locking keys of the insert in a depth controlled manner. The guided design ensures accurate alignment with the insert structure, preventing excessive damage to the surrounding parent material.

The Extrakt tool is a patented invention by Bart Vandezande. The Patent was signed on 02 February 2026 as application number |31194-P-PRI-EP| /mv
