Fluted extractor system

A bolt extractor, comprising:

• an elongated section including a proximal section configured to be coupled to a rotary tool and a distal section configured to be inserted into a bore of a bolt;
• a longitudinal axis extends lengthwise through a center of the distal section and wherein the first and second surfaces are recessed inwardly toward the longitudinal axis from a distal end gradually outwardly to an outer dimension of said bolt extractor;
• the distal section is shaped as a geometry prism having a generally polygonal cross-section including a plurality of faces, and a contact edge is defined between adjacent ones of the faces;
• each of the faces includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface narrowing in a direction toward a distal end of the distal section and the second surface widening in the direction toward the distal end of the distal section;
• an angle between said first surface and said second surface being obtuse along an entire length of said contact edge.
