A fastener removal tool has a proximal end, a distal end, and a rotatable and translatable body between the proximal end and the distal end. There is a spring positioned between the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the spring is configured to allow the rotatable and translatable body to translate. Rotation and translation of the rotatable and translatable body is configured to provide a compressive force to at least a portion of a fastener for removal of the fastener. Methods for using fastener removal tools are also disclosed.
