OEMTOOLS Orifice Tube Remover Set — 5-Piece A/C Extraction Kit, Threaded Extractors & Auger

The OEMTOOLS 24562 Orifice Tube Remover Set is a compact 5-piece kit that safely extracts and installs orifice tubes from many domestic and import automotive A/C systems.

When an automotive air-conditioning system develops restricted flow or a broken orifice tube, accessing and removing the component can be fiddly and risky for surrounding lines and evaporator components. This OEMTOOLS kit gathers five purpose-built tools, including an auger and threaded extractors, into a durable carrying case so technicians and experienced DIYers can remove clogged or damaged orifice tubes with greater control and less chance of collateral damage.

How does this kit make orifice tube removal easier?

The tools are designed to thread into or grab the tube for positive purchase, letting you pull straight out without forcing or twisting on nearby fittings. Ergonomic grips provide leverage and control in tight service bays, and the included auger helps work through debris that’s stuck inside the tube.

• Threaded extractors for secure engagement without crushing the line
• Auger tool to loosen clogs and dislodge debris
• Ergonomic handles to reduce hand fatigue during extraction
• Compact case keeps tools organized and protected

Which vehicles will these tools work on?

The set is made to cover a wide range of domestic and import vehicles that use inline orifice tubes. While not specific to a single make or model, the assortment of sizes and shapes increases the chance of compatibility across many common A/C service points.

• Multiple extractor sizes to suit different tube diameters
• Useful for both older and newer vehicles with inline orifice tubes
• Handy for shops that service mixed fleets of domestic and import cars
• Not a vehicle-specific repair kit—verify fit for uncommon OEM designs

What are the key components and how do you use them?

The kit contains five tools: several threaded extractors and an auger designed to engage broken or intact orifice tubes. The basic procedure is to thread or insert the appropriate tool into the tube, take up a firm grip, and extract straight out while protecting surrounding hoses and fittings.

• Choose the extractor that best matches the tube opening
• Thread or sink the auger into clogged material to loosen it
• Apply steady, controlled pull until the tube releases
• Store tools in the molded case to prevent loss or damage

Will using this set reduce the risk of damage during A/C repairs?

Yes—these tools are shaped to minimize force transfer to adjacent components, which lowers the chance of denting line fittings or tearing hoses when compared with improvised extraction methods. Proper selection of the right tool and steady technique are still important to avoid unnecessary strain.

• Positive engagement reduces slippage and sudden movements
• Controlled extraction limits stress on evaporator cores and lines
• Purpose-made tools replace risky improvisation with appropriate hardware
• Durable case prevents tool damage that can compromise performance

Who is this for: The OEMTOOLS 24562 Orifice Tube Remover Set is aimed at professional mechanics, independent repair shops, and confident DIY technicians who perform A/C diagnostics and repairs on mixed fleets. If you frequently encounter clogged or broken orifice tubes and want a reliable, portable set that reduces extraction headaches and protects adjacent components, this kit is a practical addition to your tool chest.
