1. A tool for removing a fastener having a head, comprising:
a body having first and second ends; a first axial bore disposed in the first end adapted to receive the head, the first axial bore having a first diameter at the first end and tapering to a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, within the body; and a cutting channel disposed in the body between the first diameter and the second diameter forming internal cutting edges adapted to engage the head, the cutting channel having a generally elongated diamond-like shape and a width and extending a portion of the way circumferentially around the body toward the second end, wherein the cutting channel includes:
a first end portion proximal to the first end of the body and having a first width;a second end portion having a second width; anda third portion between the first and second end portions having a third width;wherein the width of the cutting channel increases from the first width to the third width, and decreases from the third width to the second width as the cutting channel extends circumferentially around the body toward the second end of the body.
