An extractor for pulling individual tubes from a tube sheet in a heat exchanger. The extractor includes two pairs of drivers mounted in a housing on parallel rotatable shafts. The two drivers in each pair have inclined teeth which project into opposite sides of a passageway along which a tube is drawn. A variable speed pneumatic motor and a gear transmission rotate the four drivers at the same controlled speed and rotate the two drivers in each pair in opposite directions to advance a tube through the passageway.
