Abstract: A device for extracting a cutting bit from within a securement hole in cutting equipment. The device has a base body having an open base end that contact the cutting equipment that surrounds the cutting bit. An elongated drive body having a threaded member with a threaded bore, rotatively contacts the base body, and a threaded post having a threaded portion is threaded within the threaded bore of the elongated drive body, and has a lower end extending into the base body. A pair of bit jaws are attached to the lower end of the threaded post, each having an in-turned ledge for engaging a peripheral groove of the cutting bit. By rotating the drive body, the threaded post is drawn axially upwardly, and with it the pair of bit jaws, to withdraw the cutting bit from the hole in the cutting equipment.

Abstract: A bit driver for a cutting bit having an elongated body configured for being grasped by a user, and a lower end having a distal face. A shaped cavity is formed into the distal face, extending into the elongated body, and has one or more sections, each having a tapered annular surface that is configured to conform to an outer surface of a bit end of a conventional cutting bit. The tapered annular surface holds the cutting bit aligned along an axis of the elongated body. The bit driver also includes a driving end opposite the lower end having a target surface that has a diameter or average effective dimension larger than the diameter of the elongated body. The driving end receives an impact delivered by a hammer to insert the base end of the cutting bit into a receptacle bore of a cutting bit holder or cutting equipment.
