Every mechanic knows the only reliable way for a tool to fall back out of the Multi-Dimensional Void of Missingness is to purchase its replacement.
I deal almost exclusively with square-taper spindles at home and the nonprofits. I keep a M8x1 stud made by beheading an old crank bolt in my crank tool bag to act as an anvil for the extractor so as to avoid damage to the spindle threads if the going gets difficult.
