Customer Reviews

Perfect!
I had a stripped 10mm bolt on the crankshaft pulley of my Volvo that I needed to remove to get the pulley off. The bolt was fine (unstripped) initially but was sitting a little too tight on the pulley. Trying out a hand wrench and then finally an impact wrench caused the bolt head to completely round off. Before deciding on taking the car to the mechanic, I thought I would give these bolt extractors a try. I thought they would never work but honestly the trust in the name Irwin made me give it a shot. I have used Irwin products before with complete satisfaction. So I got these extractors and put them to test. I used an impact wrench to drive the extractor and the recalcitrant founded-off bolt came right off in matter of few seconds. It was a relief to see the bolt come out as I tried many other methods all of which have failed. This bolt extractor did the job. The extractor must have bitten into the bolt too hard; now to separate the bolt from it is a different story.

Works Great!
I have used these several times since I bought them. They have got me out of a jam every time. They work great!

A God Send
I had a bolt with a stripped head in a very inaccessible area on a wind turbine. I had tried the Grip-Tite and had no success, I tried the 3/8" Bolt Grip socket and it slipped off also. I was about to give up and then I realized with the Irwin design I could set the teeth of the socket by tapping it on. I had it on a foot long extension and used a hammer to tap the socket on, attached a long handled ratchet and SUCCESS. I did have to tap on the bolt to remove it from the socket, but there were no signs of wear so I think these will last forever. I would recommend getting the other set to fill in the gaps, but this is a great basic set.
