Tools IRWIN Bolt Extractor Set, 5-Piece (394002)

I purchased this set to complete the partial set I purchased earlier. I needed the 3/4" extractor to remove a two part stud that had been mistreated. I didn't notice this set and purchased a different brand first. It didn't remove the stud and just slipped making the damage to it worse. The Irwin 3/4" extractor grabbed and removed the stud, which I replaced with a single piece stud. Follow the directions and use a hammer to seat the tool on the part to be removed. YouTube videos helped me.

I bought this smaller set based on the excellent performance of a larger set that I bought years ago for lug nuts. Both this and the larger set worked to my complete satisfaction. The large set said not to use with an impact- use hand tools only. The smaller set package says that an impact may be used. BUT based on the instructions and performance of the large set, I only used hand tools with these. Outstanding job performance!

I'd say these are a godsend, except they're a little better than that. After my local-yokel repair guy did some brake work (which included bleeding, which included removing my tires), two of my tires went flat and off of the bead. Well, trying to get the wheels off was a perfect bitch. I broke my four-way, and rounded-off four lug nuts which had been torqued on to the gills. This after a can of PB-BLASTER soaking the lugs for days. And since the guy who frigged them up wasn't about to cop to it, I had the pleasure of getting those rounded lugs off myself. I could have drilled, I could have lug-ripped, I could have used a torch. But I saw these IRWIN BOLT-GRIPs online for a reasonable amount and with great reviews, so I decided to try them. Jeez these things work as advertised! I positioned one over a lug and gave it a few whacks of a hammer to seat it. Hooked up my breaker bar, and with a pop and a screech, the bolt came right loose. Knocked the BOLT-GRIP loose and went to the next sticky lug nut. Pop, Cheep, and the rounded lug was free. You get the picture. And - BONUS - where the BOLT-GRIP bit into the metal of the lug it widened the lug, just enough for me to put it back on in order to get to the parts shop. Five Stars!

It feels like it's made of high quality material. Had a rounded oil drain plug on a 2018 Civic that couldn't be removed. Bought this to remove it. Place it on the drain plug like a normal 17mm socket. Didn't had to hammer it into the plug like others in comment section. Came right off with little effort to my surprise. Installed a Fumoto drain valve to make oil changing easier and not having to deal with stripped/rounded bolt down the road. Now the problem is trying to get the rounded drain plug off this extractor socket for future use. It's well worth the money I say.

I read a lot of reviews to see if these are up to the task for my 19 mm caliper bolt. The only specific usesI found were for oil pan bolts and that are several orders of magnitude easier than my bolt. Happy to report did the job. I couldn't get enough leverage with the 3/8 ratchet the extractor accommodates. Fortunately a had a ½ socket that fit over the hex end of the extractorand put the big breaker bar on it and it came right out.

I bought this item after trying another type of tool for removing a "stuck" oil drain plug. Whoever had done the last oil change apparently replaced the plug using an impact gun, or at least REALLY torqued it. I was unable to get it to even budge, and unfortunately, I wound up "rounding off" the bolt head. This tool worked the first time! I just used a hammer to tap the socket onto the rounded bolt, put an 18" pipe on the end of the socket wrench, which I already had (for extra torque), and gave it a quick tug. To my (pleasant) surprise, the plug loosened immediately! This save me a couple hundred dollars (and embarrassment) for taking it to a mechanic. Good, solid construction of high grade materials. Would definitely buy again. My only concern was that there were so few sizes in the kit. Otherwise, it would get a five star from me.

I had a gnarled oil drain nut on my bike that outlasted vice grips, channel locks, and a lot of swearing, and I considered either taking it to a mechanic for $500 to fix or buy a set of these plus a new drain nut. After the set was delivered, I was ready to go to war with this drain nut for an hour or two, but after hammering the right bolt extractor on, it took all of 30 seconds to break. After kicking myself for not trying this simple, cheap, and easy solution sooner, I replaced the drain nut and the bike's good as new! 10/10 highly recommend.

Great tool great price

We tried everything possible to get the Oil drain plug loss... we turned the plug so hard that the oil plug was stripped. We wanted to give up until we found out about Irwin Bolt Grip Remover set. It worked finally to get the plug out, by using the floor jack to put as much power possible on the plug :-) Thank you so much!

Deze zijn in 3/8 dat was nergens te lezen. Heb de moer waarvoor ik ze kocht uiteindelijk weg geslepen.. dus deze werkten daar niet voor.

I had mangled the brass sump plug on my Alfa Romeo 166. There are many different companies making these things, but this price was on par with the rest and added bonus of US made. Was a tight spot, but I was able to get it about half way down the plug. Started to yank and waited for the inevitable slip and my hand getting smashed. Nay, it was the opposite. It actually started to bite in and slide further onto the nut. A monumental amount of pulling later and it dislodged the plug.

Lo compre por qué la cabeza de un tornillo de la transmisión de Atos estaba barrida y no le podía checar si tiraba aceite lo intente con todo inciso le soldé una tuerca pero el tornillo estaba tan apretado que rompía la soldadura, por lo incómodo del lugar no se puede poner una pistola de impacto. Le puse el dado extractor y si amarro bien pero en cuanto ejerci fuerza se barrio más la cabeza del tornillo y ya no agarro el extractor, y la medida que le seguía era muy chica, al último corte un tornillo a la mitad y lo soldé bien a la cabeza del tornillo barrido y así lo pude sacar, el producto es bueno yo creo que como ya estaba muy barrida la cabeza el dado que le metí solo agarro muy poco.

Marca reconocida en este tipo de productos y recomendada por especialistas, no decepciona, hacen su funcion de maravilla y con una facilidad pasmosa, no se le resiste ningun tornillo por muy estropeado que este
