A
bolt head punch is a specialized tool used for removing broken or stripped bolts, particularly those with a rounded or damaged head. Some of the characteristics of a bolt head punch include:
Pointed tip: The punch has a pointed tip that is designed to grip onto the damaged bolt head and provide a strong grip.
Hardened steel: Bolt head punches are typically made from hardened steel to ensure that they are strong enough to withstand the pressure required to extract the bolt.
Tapered shape: The tapered shape of the punch allows it to fit into the bolt head, providing a secure grip.
Knurled handle: The handle of a bolt head punch is often knurled to provide a better grip and prevent slipping during use.
Hexagonal shaft: The shaft of the punch may have a hexagonal shape to provide a better grip when using a wrench to turn the punch.
